No. There was a Touretter “comedy” vid around here recently, and I found it not at all funny. Read Oliver Sacks on Tourette’s.
My gf and I used to go out to eat breakfast when I visited her each weekend in Iowa. A lot of the times this large group of people afflicted with Tourette's (and assorted other challenging conditions) would come in and dine while we were there. They had one or two moderators/councelors/group leaders with them to attempt to keep things reined in. We felt really bad watching them struggle with their conditions, but every once in a while one of them would shout an unbelievably inappropriate word or phrase. We tried our best, but sometimes we would just lose it and burst out laughing. We would feel bad about it afterward, but we quoted some of those phrases to each other for years. They were priceless...

There's no way The US Army can afford to do tests for free. The United States defense budget that just passed in Congress is only $740 billion. That's just a mere 37% of world military spending or equal to the next 7 largest militaries. They need the money to build more tanks to go along with the thousands already sitting and collecting dust.
It was the UK army, I did mention this in a previous post.

asshole Republicans is responsible
Asshole Republicans have been around long before Trump.

I don't know how, but you guys need to figure out a way to unify your people.

Everything you do is designed to divide. Your parties fight among themselves to nominate candidates, using lies and divisive tactics. Then the parties fight against each other, but with even less decorum and decency and truth.
You don't have drug issues or immigration issues or media credibility issues. Instead, EVERYTHING is a WAR. War on terror, war on drugs, war on poverty, war on illegal immigration and on and on and on until everyone is at war with everything and everyone.

Not everything can or should be solved with war.

Right wing talk radio and sites spew radical conspiracy crap and White and especially rural males pick up the insanity. The most privileged group in the country feels most aggrieved and even persecuted.

Agreed. But how does this get fixed?
Hopeful, but not sure things will not get worse, never thought I would see American state capitals invaded by armed citizens. That was an act of terror. Bad conservative laws on broadcast ownership and constant near fascist propaganda have had a gross effect on our society.

not sure things will not get worse
Donald Trump is now a history-making loser.

His doomed crusade to overturn the U.S. election result crossed a milestone following electoral college meetings Monday that formally selected Joe Biden as the next president.

Not in a century and a half, since the post-Civil War era, has a defeated presidential candidate continued to challenge the results past those electoral college meetings.

That's where Trump now finds himself. He has persisted in peddling the idea he can still win even after losing Monday in the formal electoral votes.

He not only denied the electoral college reality in a flurry of defiant tweets: Trump's campaign also convinced groups of Republicans to organize their own parallel meetings in various swing states and declare him the winner.

----------------------
At least four people were stabbed and one was shot last weekend during election-related street confrontations between opponents and supporters of the president in Washington, D.C., and Washington State.

Security concerns prompted authorities to take unusual precautions to protect members of the electoral college.


Look, the unification has begun. Great things are sure to follow. :wall: Be safe down there.

He’s been around since Saturday. Around Barbie mainly, but you know how that goes. Barbie is a diabetic also along with the new blood issue.

The wife got it from her grown daughter making Christmas cookies.

Why are people out screwing around?

Neighbors voted for drump. Hmmm mmmm
