It's weird to see Trump retweet a tweet with "circle jerk" in it, even after tweeting bullshit.

Biden to announce he's running next week on Wednesday.

Notre Dame fire was probably caused by electrical short circuit, police official says

Also, I'm happy to see most of the news media is not going along with the Trump/Barr spin. From CBS: "Pres. Trump insists he was exonerated by the investigation. But the report specifically declines to clear him on possible charges of obstruction of justice."

Damn, currently ahead of Harris, Booker, Warren and I guess Gillibrand? Warren and her list of policy proposals make her one of the strongest candidates for me, so far. Buttigieg is making a name for himself; it'd be a hilarious if he were a VP pick and got to debate Pence.

Oh God, I'm off to bed, but I look forward to watching that tomorrow.

Didn't Trump promise to appoint a special prosecutor to look into her "situation" as he called it? And then upon winning, say that the country owes her a debt of gratitude for serving her country and that he has a lot of respect for her? Maybe you should write to him to ask why he's not doing anything as the president of the US lest you feel maybe he tricked you into believing the post you just made.

I'm looking at cable news and network news coverage, and it doesn't seem that Barr "getting ahead" of the story is really working. They're going through the whole report and looking at a lot of damning stuff that'll give Trump some bad headlines, and they're also highlighting contradictions between what Barr said and what the report says. This gives Democrats a ton of ammo in 2020 because we have (most of) the actual report.

That's what I mean by bettering yourself regardless of what Trump does. It's indisputably been a shitshow, and I remember feeling so weird and confused after he won. It was surreal because I have roots in NY, saw Trump Tower every time I went to visit, and had a neutral feeling because I used to view him as just this rich dickhead who lived somewhere fancy and feuded with Rosie O'Donnell, but wasn't someone who I had to think about on a daily basis so whatever. So I said, "I need to make sure 2017 is as good a year it can be regardless of what he does. And I need to get involved." And so even if it's the tiniest referendum vote, I'll partake. And I acquired new hobbies, I traveled more, I lost weight and felt good about how I looked, and this all took time. But I'm glad I did it, and if there was any silver lining, it's that I realized I'm in a position that my happiness doesn't have to be tied to the president (important that I'm in this position since if you're, say, trans, you're not as fortunate). 2017 ended up being one of my happiest years, but it took effort throughout the whole year. And it also means when something he does affects me (his crappy health care "plan"), I can get involved and do what I can. And after seeing the massive town hall protests defending the ACA and going up against GOP lies about "death panels," the massive people marching to ensure women are heard in the realm of sexual harassment, the many groups working to welcome and support our LGBT friends, the massive Democratic wins last year and the many people in my red area who came out canvassing for Democrats, and the overwhelming amount of people who ran for office because they were sickened by Trump's win, I saw there are many good people who get off their asses to make things better in this country. It was g'damn inspiring. End of the day, Hillary received 65 million votes. In this system, that doesn't get her a win (shitty and needs to change, but it's our system currently). But that does mean there are at least 65 million people who didn't want Trump, and millions and millions of those were involved, are involved and will continue to be involved. There's a lot I'm optimistic about, but it all takes a lot of work and time since Trump is a symptom of many long-standing problems that just became louder, and part of that work is bettering yourself. That's the foundation since you can't be happy no matter who's in office if you're not content with your life. Plus, you have a supportive group of people here who'll help you out.

Thought I was in the 2020 thread and was gonna say, "I think Kamala Harris is a good speaker?" When Hitchens died, I remember some of his fans (dunno how widespread, it could have just been one singular comments section I was reading) thought Harris might be able to carry the torch. I don't know really know if he did or not because I know Hitchens was pro-Iraq War and thought any religion "rots the mind," but I honestly didn't follow him closely enough to know if he was batshit crazy as Harris is. Nor do I know if Harris has made an amazing analogy involving parties while comparing that to people's fear of dying.

I lost one of my closest friends not too long before Trump was elected, among other things. 2016 wasn't a walk in the park for me, but I decided not to let the sunken feeling after he was announced president-elect ruin everything and resolved to better myself regardless of the shitshow his presidency would inevitably be. Some people don't have the luxury of that (asylum seekers, for example). Most of us here do.

2016 broke so many people.

You sweet summer child.

Truly the words of a law-abiding upstanding citizen.

I feel Mediterranean cruises would be really cool but they're in places that you'd really want to soak in. If you go to, say, Grand Turk, one day is more than enough.

Benji is an insider who also posts on Reset. He's been pretty consistent that he's thought TLOU2 is releasing in 2019, but now he's gone so far to say 2019 has been the plan for a while and it's all a matter of how quickly then can get this done: This also coincides with many of these either job listings or resumes that keep popping up on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pauldparker/ This person has worked with both Guerrilla and Naughty Dog and likely works at a visual arts studio. I'm on the 2019 train. Choo-choo. But I guess a delay into Q1 2020 could happen and wouldn't surprise me.

It's a pretty short way to experience different countries, but man, it's always been a blast to do that for me. I danced with a mariachi band a few years ago, which remains one of my favorite memories. The other was singing Beatles songs with a man in Curacao with his guitar. Aruba was fun because the climate was so different than you'd expect (little rain, constantly breezy so no mosquitoes), though we discovered that it's been even drier than that in recent years, so the cacti have been changing colors and some have died. Sometimes it's the little things: a violin trio performing for you, reading with the backdrop of an ocean in front of you, meeting people working there from all over the world, and once I came away with around $400 from the casino and was like, "Welp, this pays for my upcoming car insurance!" You just have to know that you're getting a day in each place, but if you go frequently or, say, once a year, I know people who will do different things each time when they revisit countries since the cruise experience is very fun for them. I like to think that I've swam in pee from some of the United States' original colonists.

They are and I've been on two Carnival cruises, one within the time frame of when this happened. *sigh*

I missed the press conference, but apparently Barr said he disagreed with some of Mueller's conclusions or something of the sort. Also, Rosenstein looked like half of the American Gothic Painting.
