This was quite a trigger week
First, I watched the movie 'Bombshell'. My brother, who used to be a film researcher in the library at the 20th Century Fox movie studio and had numerous chances to meet and observe both Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch, highly recommended the movie. It was excellent but pulled off some emotional memory scabs I'd hoped were long healed.
THEN almost immediately after watching the film, came this whole verbal slap in the face from trump* about veterans. So, two things stored in the trench of experiences in my past managed to coincided - work place sexual harassment, the worst of which occurred during, but wasn't limited to my time as an voluntary active duty member of the United States Navy.
After watching the film, I started to tremble. It was so weird. I took a good dose of CBD, walked around for a while, and the trembling subsided. Then heard about and read the Atlantic article and I swear that steam started coming out of my ears. Not just because I, as a veteran, took it as a slap in the face, but that it was a massive slap against the continuous generations of my family who have honorably served the nation, going back to the nation's founding.
There are days when I seriously wonder how I'll make it through the coming months but I am determined that I will, and that I will end up on the winning side.
Now I'm going to make some Italian sausage with peppers (fresh picked from my garden), open a bottle of something red, toast some garlic bread and live as if all is good. For now, anyway.

Having been careful to check the date/time stamp of the post first, were Star Moron Siwsan informed and honest (s)he would be pissed at The Atlantic's dishonesty that makes Hate-Trump Proggies look like credulous dupes. Which Star Moron Siwsan shows himself/herself to be.

I just don't get this whole thing of them trying to out-do each other with the mental issues

Only people I've heard use a turn of phrase similar to that is reserve component people who volunteer for a short AD tour, anything from a month to a year. Way back, some tours were for as long as two years, but not so much anymore.

Now is probably not the time to tell them that Trump just got nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Again.
What am I saying?? Of course it's the time!!

That was for the Bosnia-Kosovo matter. In today's news, Bahrain normalized relations with Israel. EuroLanders being EuroLanders, Trump will probably be one of the most accomplished NPP-rejectees in the history of the NPP.

and he was actually nominated for doing an act that lead to peace, not just for getting elected POTUS while having a certain skin color.

It seems as if President 0bama received the award for melanin content.
