    This is weird. I don't know how to understand this.

    This is what I always say when I'm extremely conscious and aware of my surroundings.

    Glenn Beck went through difficult rectal procedures and didnt come out any better.

    Although he did imply 45's assassination and get reprimanded for it.

    I turned off chat in various games 4 years ago because they got ghoulish about assassination fan fiction and other things
    I only left WoW's on because there is a limit to the ignore list and others would tell them to knock it off

    Do you have some kind of a blocker turned on? I can see all of the tweets that are being posted.

    Still understandably annoying, but it seems like it's worth looking into on the end of those who are having issues.

    Yeah for reals, sometimes on mobile Chrome the forums don't load inline tweets at all, and refreshing or even restarting my phone does nothing to help it. Only happens intermittently, but when it does, it persists for a while.

    my working assumption is that if he's on any medication, especially medication that might get him in any way high, that his staff would take his ability to tweet away

    I've been reading the Washington Post article someone ripped about this and, trump's family better be hoping his lawyers were really zealous with those liability waivers.

    Because in the past few days alone before the diagnosis, he was around a lot of people who have the time and money to make him pay for their treatment.

    Not just get a settlement to be paid whenever, I mean actually get money right here right now

    It wasn't a value judgment, obviously.

    Random in the sense that he is unrelated to the video, and was the first person I found who had it up, and who didn't seem horrible. But also, a random dude.

    Hey, speaking of right-wing dipshits without shame or compunction about using public resources they fought against:



    Pretty sure this is the one time it would be morally justifiable to root for black lung.

    I feel like this piece of shit is the kind of guy who would apply for those benefits even if he didn't actually suffer from it.

    Hell, he does it fraudulently and if anyone finds out he just spins it into "I was testing the system look at how easy it is to defraud just shut it all down"

    One of those officers, Detective Myles Cosgrove, who the F.B.I. said fired the shot that killed Ms. Taylor, described in the audio being uncertain about exactly what occurred during the chaos after the police used a battering ram to burst into Ms. Taylor’s apartment.

    “I just sensed that I’ve fired,” Detective Cosgrove said in an interview last month that was played for the jurors. But, he added: “It’s like a surreal thing. If you told me I didn’t do something at that time, I’d believe you. If you told me I did do something, I’d probably believe you, too.”

    How many jobs are so lax that you can kill someone and get off completely scott free, when your response to having killed that person is "IDK what the fuck happened lol"
