And then what? I've been asking since I started hearing about the epstein files, what is the goddamn plan after they're released? You know he isn't going to lose any support, right? You know he isn't going to be prosecuted, right? I feel like people are expecting the legal fairy to come and enforce the law
I didn't watch the world cup but I watched Trump's 4th of July speech in hopes he'd have a heatstroke or be hit by lightning. It was delayed a few hours due to a thunderstorm. Too bad his handlers probably talked him out of doing it in the thunderstorm
People have this weird faith in the law, as if it exists in nature. Laws only work if the people in power enforce them. The people in power in the Untied States aren't even pretending to give a fuck anymore
I admit I'm wrong when I'm wrong. If I'm factually wrong, I say I stand corrected. If I do something bad, I apologize. I fear it looks like I'm bragging right now but it shouldn't be something to brag about, it should be what everyone does. It's what mature people do.
People who can't admit they're wrong completely close themselves off to learning or growing. They think they're protecting themselves from shame by making excuses that they meant something else or it's someone else's fault they did a bad thing, but oftentimes they suffer even worse consequences by behaving that way
On the flipside, though, the other extreme is also bad. You shouldn't concede that you're wrong when you're not wrong
At times like this, I like to remind people that Anne Frank wasn't killed in a gas chamber. She died of illness in the concentration camp. Letting disease run rampant in prison camps is another form of genocide
I was honestly expecting an announcement along the lines of "midterm elections are canceled" or "very restrictive measures will be taken to ensure election integrity". I got really stoned in preparation
The media was surprisingly responsible and didn't let him lie without fact checking this time. CBS showed part of it but spent a lot of time fact checking before and after. Too bad MAGA will spin it as censorship and say the networks were afraid to let Trump tell the truth
