That's Polish, right?

I've been there, and it makes complete sense to me. That is, I have no idea where the Manimai Temple on the Doiwala-Dehradun highway is, but a DJ and flashing lights when it's time to sleep -- completely relate.

Trump has been successful as a politician only because he is so needy, so thirsty for affection that during his campaigns he contorted his views to whatever his crowds gave the most applause to. That's why he did so well -- he could read the room, and the room was the American public. But now he isn't doing big rallies, and his audience has shrunken down to his advisors, his patsies, and whatever comes filtered through Fox News. Of course he is losing his wider audience. Their hopes, goals, wants were never really his. He was just chasing the adoration. Now he's disconnected and being used by whatever right wing "thinker" gets his attention.

Well, that and the grift. There's always the grift.

A short excerpt:

“F‑‑‑ him. F‑‑‑ him. F‑‑‑ him and everybody around him,” Hunter Biden said during the interview released Monday, in response to an anecdote about Clooney’s political involvement. “I don’t have to be f‑‑‑ing nice. No. 1, I agree with Quentin Tarantino. … F‑‑‑ing George Clooney is not a f‑‑‑ing actor. He is a f‑‑‑ing, like … I don’t know what he is. He is a brand.”

He seems emotional, perhaps angry. Oh, well

How would it even be satiric? Sardonic, perhaps. Comedic, no.

*planetary system

The Solar System is an example of a planetary system. Our planetary system is named so because it is the system of its star, Sol. Other planetary systems are not "solar" systems.

I don't know, but don't share this to Marjorie Taylor Greene

Yeah, it isn't a very satisfying resolution. Whether switched off accidentally or intentionally, why do both deny doing it in the recording? Also, during the time spent resetting the switches, I would imagine there was more conversation that has not been released. The limited information we have may be making the situation seem more bizarre than it is, but I don't find the current interpretation very reassuring.

Grok, take the wheel!

The perfect gift. Just remember to look at reviews before you buy and test the ones you have. They do vary a lot in how well they actually work (to the point that some are so useless it would almost have to be intentional)
