Cheney was WH Chief of staff in the 70s, was a member of the house armed services committee for over a decade before becoming Sec Def himself, and then 8 years as a very hands on VP. These guys have pretty deep ties in the military establishment. You have to be very, very careful around here with stating historical facts. You could be accused of coming across as sounding smart. You never know for sure but at least one poster may be thus triggered and take offence. Thank God nobody has accused you!

It's 32 degrees out there, and the wind-chill is freaking nasty. If I'd gone out au naturel, it wouldn't just be my blood that was blue.

What a idiot. 🤬

@larry said in Not symptoms, but...: Sounds like a conversation i'd have with my first wife. I should clarify this... my first wife was a child psychologist and therapist, and worked for the state handling child sex abuse. This 99.999% of the time involved a relative, and that relative was under court order, and not exactly what you'd call a happy, stable individual.

@larry said in Does he really believe it?: @jon-nyc said in Does he really believe it?: @loki said in Does he really believe it?: Russia Russia Russia was Hillary’s playbook from the beginning. Some hack was hired to write a fake dossier and that became the overriding obsession for this country for four years. Actually the dossier has become overriding obsession of right wing websites over the past 3 years or so. You seem to fall into the trap, almost ubiquitous on the right, of confusing the dossier with the Russia investigation itself. You really should at least skim the executive summary of Meuller’s report. Jon, do you honestly not know any better than that? Good grief guy. He does. He doesn't care.

Wow, and not to be too dramatic, but I feel like I've seen quite a few headlines here in TNCR about 2-3 days before they become the talk of the national media. In other words, I bet later this week we'll start to hear all about Arizona the way we are hearing all about California now after a few days prior you or George or someone was warning about the ICU capacity shortages there.

Triage...
