Damn, what a surreal and unpleasant experience this must be. Sorry man. Hope your and your family stay safe and secure.

I can't imagine what it's like. You've done a great job explaining it. But still, I haven't walked in your shoes. But I guess it's all about walking that fine line, right? Doing enough to get your job done for your employer, while also chipping away some time to give back a little to this in need in a fucking crazy, bad situation. Sounds like you're doing a good job with that balancing act.

Thanks for the charity recommendation. I'll see what I can do there.

Oh, my bad. I must have replied to the wrong comment.

Edit: I misread a word. I read your original comment as "how far right are you"

In some ways. Him publicly staying that he was done with the book series would be like ripping off the providential band-aid off.

There would be an initial backlash of upset people, and there would be a lingering nagging about giving the series over to someone else for them to finish writing it, but at least people would stop asking him "when's the next book coming out?", and variations on that. And if he said "no I'm not allowing anyone else to finish it!" (as he has hunted at before but then flip-flopped away from) then people would hang moved in. They've moved on anyway to some degree. But there's a lingering resentment that is arguably bigger than that resentment would be with the above mentioned declarations.

But does he need to admit it? Do people deserve to know the truth from him? No. It's his creation, and his choice. If he doesn't want to admit it he doesn't have to.

Oh he already gave up about 12 years ago. He just refuses to admit it.

I know your asking a figurative question not a literal one. But the fact that they are using the Express as a new source tells you all you need to know about their position on the political spectrum.

Also, if the Express is the source of news then that raises some critical thinking concerns.

The sign falling on him... Now if that's not emblematic of his error-prone campaign then I don't know what is.

And yet he's still statistically tired with Harris. The old man who's a senile, malignant narcissist, who has lots of criminal charges, has been impeached twice, is now an overt Nazi, and and who failed spectacularly in his first term (among many other negative aspects of his record and personality)... is tied in the polls with a healthy, intelligent, relatively young, middle of the political spectrum candidate who thrashed him in their only political debate.

Sure, Harris has some political baggage and isn't the perfect candidate. But holy shit, at this stage he should be trailing her by 30+%. The fact that he's not shows that this country is in deep deep political trouble.

Oh weird. The deleted comment just made counter assumption that I was referencing a recent incident where IDF forces got dangerously close to a battalion of Irish forces working under the UN to protect the Southern Lebanon border.

My reply to the deleted comment was me confirming that was the incident I was referring to originally.

Burned like that bush Moses saw in the old testament. Although Trump probably thinks that the term 'burning bush' would be in reference to an STD he got after sexually assaulting sometime.

Hopefully that demographic heads out to the polling stations in very large numbers.

You are correct. That's the reference I meant.

ETA: the fact there are multiple incidents of the IDF going after Irish soldiers is kinda crazy.

This man spitting facts. Good man.

Isn't she Tim Apple's niece?
