If his being too old to govern was the only problem, I'd be a lot happier.

I was going to post that you didn't seem like you were trying very hard, on day 189, then I open the post and you prove me wrong.

You can be XY and present as female. There's a handy little chart in this article to give you an overview of some of the more common things that happen between being an XX woman and being an XY man.

Well, about half the states have one, so that is no guarantee, either.

There is a former billionaire in Florida who gave scholarships for everyone in a certain area who graduated. I can't remember his name off the top of my head because he isn't an attention-seeking asshole and I don't see it every week.

I used to never understand my dad. Some tiny thing would happen and he would blow up. "How could you do something so stupid?" "All you had to do was this one little thing, and you blew it!" But something big would happen and he would shrug and say, " Well, these things happen. At least everyone's okay."

Now that I'm older, I get it. Some things are so simple, there just isn't an excuse to fuck them up. And when people do fuck it up, it's mind blowing, because all you had to do was not fuck it up. Like a fucking Nazi salute. And if these guys are going to do something so stupid and easy to avoid as a Nazi salute, do you really think they have the capacity to understand the implications of the big things they're trying to do, or see the ramifications of the tough choices ahead of them?

Do you think Adolf Hitler figured he'd be dead by his own hand within a decade of Kristallnacht?

You think they won't dismiss more obvious things? Feel free to review Trump's quote from after Khashoggi was murdered, which boils down to, "Sure, they may have killed him, but do you realize how much money they're spending here?" That got barely a mutter. Just how much do you think it will take to get Americans upset with what he does?

I think Trump is the kind of person who thinks the world is better off ending with him than going on without him. Nothing matters if he isn't there to enjoy it; the true heart of narcissism.

Note the title. "Oh, they're not proper Nazis, they're just trying to be proper Nazis."

I'm seeing a net debt of about $400 hanging over you guys after all is said and done. I don't think anyone is clamoring for that money to be paid back, but I'd be happier if you guys didn't have to worry about it. I'll send some money for that reason, as well as all the good work you all do in supporting and maintaining this. Thank you.

The spread is already down to 11 points. Hopefully the choices the Liberals and other parties make can narrow this further.

We're looking at 15 years of data encapsulated in 4 annual averages. If they put in that kind of effort for the sake of the Olympics, well, good on them for playing the long game.
