You have a seven figure income, adult children and a country estate. What do you have to be angry about? Does any of this bullshit actually affect you?
My wife comes home from work in tears because her trans patients are scared as hell, with no visibility into their future or even if they can continue to get medical care. In 20 years, she'd lost one kid to suicide, which is a remarkable record. She almost lost another over the weekend. Meanwhile, her trans niece has been disowned by her parents.
My autistic kids are scared as shit. The administrators are scared as shit, because they have no idea if they will continue to get the federal dollars on which special ed programs rely. Bullying has gone through the roof. Last week, one of my boys was targeted by bullies making fun of him because he's a white kid but his mom is brown. Said that she would be deported.
So yeah, there's a lot of fucking anger.

I have a lot of empathy for your wife and your kids. That said, your personal attack on me is deeply uninformed and uncalled for, but fine.
I never asked you not to be angry.
You were asked in a particular case not to cross into hoping for violence or assassinations using this platform.
Other posters have been asked to do the same and seem reasonably understanding despite their own justifiable outrage.

Personal attack? In what universe is "you have a great life" a personal attack? Everything is upside down, I guess.
Let's do this: I did not mean it as a personal attack. I didn't think it was controversial to note that people with less skin in the game find it easier to urge restraint.

Appears Tuberville has reduced his three branches of government (the Executive, the House, and the Senate) to just a unitary executive.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes clarifies his relationship with U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville: 'He did not recruit me'
Tuberville, Texas Tech's coach from 2010-12, claimed he recruited Mahomes following comments made by President Donald Trump

"He did not recruit me at the time," Mahomes said. "I don't remember if I ever got to meet him or not."
Neil Jacobs backed Trump’s re-doing a NOAA forecast with a Sharpie.
I’m just going to chime in with this.
Super, several of your recent posts have come across as antagonistic and aggressive.
No, I’m not going to go back and cite specific posts.
Some of those antagonistic, aggressive posts appeared to be directed at nycfan.
That’s my observation.

“…
On Friday, Mulino faces his biggest test since becoming president last summer, in a phone call with Trump, who has made putting the Panama Canal under U.S. control a priority. Trump’s threat has cast Panama into crisis as it confronts its greatest ally over a waterway that is the country’s symbol of independence and generator of wealth. Mulino has vowed that the canal will remain in Panama’s hands.
A pragmatist, Mulino is aware of the asymmetry in power between the U.S. and Panama, a country of four million people that uses the U.S. dollar as its currency and has no regular army, said John Feeley, the former U.S. ambassador to Panama. He said Mulino relies on lawyerly reasoning and doesn’t engage in “populist flag waving.”
… Ultimately, he has little leverage beyond a personal appeal to Trump, some concessions and the rule of law—something he is used to as a lawyer. …”
