snips.

She says that Trump is on some serious drugs.

They both don't have a soul.
The world is "over them"

These are massively powerful men and they can't hold two thoughts in a row.
They can both bring each other down.

Legislators who voted for the big bad bill can use Musk for cover. but a wounded Yeti is a dangerous Yeti.

Invest in your health.

What can I do to put a bit of sanity out there?

I just watched Maryann. She saus "karma is coming for felon 45."

Something about Egypt buying kraznov's bitcoin with foreign aid to Egypt.

And she raised an interesting point: the CO shooter is Egyptian, yet Egypt is not on the travel ban list.

Schadenfreude is sweet!

In late March, the Trump administration added 80 companies and organizations to a list of companies that are barred from buying American technology and other exports because of national security concerns. The move, which targets primarily Chinese firms, cracks down on companies that have been big buyers of American chips from Nvidia, Intel, and AMD.

The rules are aimed at restricting China’s access to artificial intelligence and advanced computing needed to augment its military.

But as these front doors to China close, back doors are opening.
A technology trail now leads from the United States to oil-producing nations and then to China.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates have been granting Trump personal favors. Their presumed goal is to get access to American technology.


Grift, Grift, Grift.

women?

Bonesaw was grinning with that evil sneer. Kraznov has an oh shit look on his face.

Many believe he is being blackmailed.

Precisely why it's never a god idea to elect a sleezy convicted felon & adjudicated rapst.

7. What to do with young maidens?

There's a portion of the Buddhist Vimalakirti Sutra

Jagatimdhara is offered twelve thousand heavenly maidens (Eat your heart out Trump and Epstein) by the evil Mara, disguised as Sakra, the king of the gods.

Jagatimdhara says it is inappropriate for a religious person to accept the maidens.

"Then Vimalakirti said to Mara, 'Evil Mara, since these heavenly maidens are not suitable for this religious devotee, a son of the Sakya, give them to me.'

"Vimalakirti, having received the goddesses, said to them, 'Now that you have been given to me by Mara, you should all conceive the spirit of unexcelled, perfect enlightenment.' (anuttara samyak sambodhi)

Vimilakirti then waxes poetic on the joy of the dharma and enlightenment.

I put up the section at pastebin

RIGHT! Liberate them rather than use them!
