You Will Anyway: Running Scared This Morning

Running Scared This Morning

I woke up this morning to TEN new tweets on the "presidential" account. Even for him, that's a lot at once.

For the umpteenth time - Comey did not leak illegally. And why "Amazon" Washington Post? Is he pissed off at Jeff Bezos? Or did he just see this...

Somebody's jealous. (Is Bezos planning to run for president in 2020?)

Hmmm. Somebody I know of just gave a lengthy interview to the "Failing New York Times". Didn't come off as fabulous as you thought it would, Don? I'll tell you who's failing, and it isn't the New York Times. Hint: rhymes with grump.

Good. Maybe that will put you in a bettr mood. But, in the meantime...

Okay Oscar the Grouch, you've harped on that one long enough. Get some new whines.

That one, too. Fercrissakes. Hillary, Hillary, Hillary.

"So many." How many? One? Oh, wait. I forgot to include Sean Hannity, Sarah Hucakabee Sanders, and probably now Da Mooch.

Yeah, what about 'em? And you are the president. You can put somebody on that. Why aren't you?

Hillary! Hillary! HILLARY!

Get over it already!

He likes to add "acid washed" every time he talks about those emails - which is a LOT.

ROTFL

Who are not now, nor have they ever been, obstructionists.

WIN, DAMMIT!

You know, that really is the only thing that drives him aside from his enormous ego, and it's actually part and parcel of it. He has to win. Any ideas on how he will spin the Mueller investigation, 3/4 of his administratoin in jail, as a win? Because he will. He may be spinning it in a striped suit, but he'll be spinning it.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

"It takes only a bit of knowledge of history to realize how dangerous it is to think that the people who run the country know what they are doing." -- Howard Zinn

"It’s not about not having something to hide; it’s about having something to lose. What we lose when we’re under observation is our humanity...Rights are inherent to our nature, they’re not granted by governments, they’re guaranteed by governments. They’re protected by governments." -- Edward Snowden

"Terrorism is the willingness to kill large numbers of people for some presumably good cause.” -- Howard Zinn

"What we have is a foreign policy which is essentially a marketing strategy for selling weapons." -- Jill Stein

"We should always remember that the danger to societies from security services is not that they will spontaneously decide to embrace [Stasi style] mustache twirling and jackboots to bear us bodily into dark places, but that the slowly shifting foundation of policy will make it such that mustaches and jackboots are discovered to prove an operational advantage toward a necessary purpose.” ~ Edward Snowden

"America: just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable." ~ Hunter S. Thompson

"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws." ~ Mayer Rothschild

"News is what somebody does not want you to print. All the rest is advertising." ~ LACUNA

"What matters in journalism isn't politics, which are as universal and inescapable as breathing. What matters -- along with a fundamentally adversarial attitude toward government, without which "journalism" is simply public relations -- is integrity, transparency, evidence, coherence, and principle. These are the principles on which we should evaluate the quality of journalism, and their absence is why some journalists are so desperate to get you to focus on something else." ~ Barry Eisler

"There is no inverse relationship between freedom and security. Less of one does not lead to more of the other. People with no rights are not safe from terrorist attack." ~ Molly Ivins

"The brain of our species is, as we know, made up largely of potassium, phosphorus, propaganda, and politics, with the result that how not to understand what should be clearer is becoming easier and easier for all of us." ~ James Thurber

"The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plane....When you hold up your arm and swear to uphold the Constitution, you don’t say, 'Except in wartime.'" -- George McGovern

"I’ll believe that corporations are people when Texas executes one." ~ Bill Moyers

"When did hope become a political dynamic? Hope is right below wishful thinking and right above performing a rain dance on the scale of activity." ~ Rich Hall

Life, as Explained in "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead"

GUILDENSTERN: What a fine persecution---to be kept intrigued without ever quite being enlightened.

------
ROSENCRANTZ : The only thing that makes it bearable is the irrational belief that somebody interesting will come on in a minute.

------
GUILDENSTERN: But for God's sake what are we supposed to do?!

PLAYER: Relax. Respond. That's what people do. You can't go through life questioning your situation at every turn.

GUILDENSTERN: But we don't know what's going on, or what to do with ourselves. We don't know how to act.

PLAYER: Act natural. You know why you're here at least.

GUILDENSTERN: We only know what we're told, and that's little enough. And for all we know it isn't even true.

PLAYER: For all anyone knows, nothing is. Everything has to be taken on trust; truth is only that which is taken to be true. It's the currency of living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions.

------
GUILDENSTERN : We act on scraps of information... sifting half-remembered directions that we can hardly separate from instinct.

------
PLAYER: Life is a gamble, at terrible odds-if it was a bet you wouldn't take it.
