* I don't believe 45 is bright enough to understand the need for nuanced language, let alone actually paying attention in even the simplest briefing on why it's needed here and the issues at stake. He's incapable of paying attention to anything besides himself long enough to grasp what he'll be agreeing to, nor good enough at negotiating to askfor things we, South Korea, and Japan want out of any such negotiation.

Does anyone recognize the flowers in the left of the frame? I’d love to know their species. They’ve been producinng flowers for month, but were free and didn’t come with a tag.

* I managed to somehow injure my left hip and a bunch of the muscles over my ribs and chest that side. It feels like the sort of thing best solved by acupuncture and tiger balm, but I can't afford acupuncture, so I am having to do my best with what I have. It means too sleeps of only being able to sleep on my right side, which is really hard on the hip on that side, what with the AS. The ability to roll over is crucial at spreading out the pain and preventing damage. it means two of the best three position in which I sit at my desk hurt, and the other really fucking hurts. If I am cranky, this is why.

* The Republican argument is basically that the Founding Fathers were such strong monarchists that they wanted an Imperial presidency where a Kinglike executive would be entirely above the law and allowed to commit any and all cries with impunity and that even the constitution doesn't apply to Presidents. Therefore it is completely legal for the president to commit crimes like treason, murder, wide scale corruption....
