@davidtoddmccarty Not nearly as elegant as you, I have spent much of my last 70 years, going though the motions of living, considering what it could all mean, portend. I believe it is a mistake to think that this journey is limited to a once in the infinite timeline, human lifetime, and I like the idea, practically insist that purpose has to be an element of this existence or that this all means nothing. It’s just a feeling. 🤔

@solownh I like this quote: “Donald Trump's insanity is a clear and present danger to the existence of humanity”. I’ve said frequently that #TheHeadLiar is just the symptom of the fever that rages among us. In a sane, incorruptible nation, this Lunatic would be no where near the levers of power. He’d be laughed at, scorned, or pitied, yet he is the GOP Front Runner? Ask yourself just how fucked up this is, think about your GOP friends’ motivations, resist and go vote for sanity.
"Donald Trump represents that ruling class, in the worst possible way. He is a true vulgarian. His mannerisms are crude, his language antagonistic, his thoughts are vindictive and he's always whining and playing the victim card."

U.S. #law schools should discourage students from applying for clerkships with #ClarenceThomas; faculty should refuse to recommend students for those clerkships; firms and other legal employers should refuse to hire people who have chosen to clerk for Thomas starting this year (when the large extent of his corruption became known). To do otherwise is to be complicit with Thomas’s unethical conduct. #LawFedi #LegalEthics #JudicialEthics

They doubted it could be done. Bring down inflation AND avoid a recession with massive job losses. But inflation is back down to normal, unemployment is at record lows, and real wages are rising. Who knew that investing in America from the bottom up and middle out would work? JOE BIDEN knew, that’s who.
