Yah. Right after he swallowed all the fentanyl he had on him. Ala Obama. Stop blaming the border crisis on Trump conspiracy theorists. Had two scoops Joey not sabotaged what was in place we’d be in a much better position. And presumably you deluded folk want to re elect him.

NO Ari I have not listened to it yet. But I will

OK, one question:

How many people can say her name, today, without going back and looking it up?
Well since it’s not as published as St. Floyd probably not many.
Well, the other question is, how many young women are assaulted, and killed every week in the US by men who did not cross the border illegally?
And, why do the Rethugicans seem to care even less about them than about one Laken Riley?

The people dying from fentanyl overdoses aren't "countless", there's a number and it's not even all that high. Also, it's pretty much entirely because of the Purdue Pharma people intentionally creating opioid addictions to boost sales.

I wonder what the response would have been if Trump called George Floyd Greg Floyd.
Let's be honest here. "Laken" is a weird, non-standard name.

When your name is Laken, you are probably used to people calling you Lincoln or Layton or Logan or whatever.

It's not as bad as mixing up Greg and George (which are both common names and don't even start with the same sound).

You asked about how people would react if Trump did X, and then the response was "well, Trump did something extremely similar to X, and the reaction was this" and this is your response?

You asked about Trump. Why are you asking about Trump instead of telling us about that poor girl?

Rape is bad, now let us force ourselves into this woman's story in support of a rapist!

It's not about this 'poor girl' they don't care. it's about how the story of the poor girl makes them feel, then centering those feelings and making them the point. The poor girl is just a tool to be used and discarded when no longer needed.

With the tech world both awash in psychedelic drugs and venture capitalist cults this is a question I've sometimes wondered myself. Why do psychedelics lead to greater empathy for some, but seemingly less empathy and more narcissism from others. The psychedelic hippie community is often so certain that if only people took the right drugs they would come to an understanding as a better person, but that's clearly just not the case, the richest open psychedelic user in the world is also emotionally a child with deep narcissistic issues.

So what's the deal?

You can see the ship lose power, twice. It never occurred to me that steering would be affected by a loss of power. But, I've never sailed anything larger than a 30 ft cruiser.

My cousin who lives in the area says the local talk shows are flooded with that kind of stuff, along with discussions of how long it will take to put the thing back together.

Sam Bankman-Fried got 25 years. I’m OK with that, wish we could do the same with the many other crypto fraudsters.
