You start with "trial by combat" and finish with "bark like dumb dog"? Weak! I hope that translates into an appropriately disgusting Belarusian colloquial vulgarity.

Michael Lewis is about to drop a bomb of a book that puts into words what most already know intuitively about the Trump presidency.

Here's the snippet re: the book, The Fifth Risk, with emphasis added.

"The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them.Michael Lewis's brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it's not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before terrorists do.Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it's better never to really understand those problems. There is upside to ignorance, and downside to knowledge. Knowledge makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for a person who wishes to shrink the world to a worldview.If there are dangerous fools in this book, there are also heroes, unsung, of course. They are the linchpins of the system--those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running. Michael Lewis finds them, and he asks them what keeps them up at night.


and here's a Guardian article that publishes an excerpt re: the transition team

Well, if we're related, God help me. :lol:

Was there something I was supposed to respond to? I thought I was pretty clear the last time.

If you're really interested in seeing if we're related, shoot me a Private message and tell me what your family last names are.

Joe Manchin, Donnelly, and Heidkampt are considering voting for Kavanaugh....pathetic.

These are your centrist Democrats LOL. Republican-lite phonies. There needs to be a third (and fourth) political party because this two party system is a complete sham.

ahhhh...yes...of course...she is just another capitalist.

As the truth and real story emerges:

The left wants us to believe that what might be the last american boy scout and likely the real 40 year old virgin, bret Kavanaugh was a bad dude because he might have had an awkward 15-30 second in school with a girl in high school? Sounds like she really liked Mark Judge. Judge was "hooking up a bro." That bro being Kavanaugh who got laughed at by his friend who went with to "watch?" Judge realizes the mission was isn't funny to either and "stumbles on the bed to know kavanaugh off of her. For flees the room. They laug for being a bumbling awkward fools with The girl, who is now and would be uncomfortable for being laughed at. Any woman or girl would. Ford felt "humiliated" because they thought they were laughing at her and she like Mark Judge at the time.<--the real thing that stuck in her mind. And thats why she recalls seeing Mark Judge a week later. Of course Mark Judge didn't touch her, just laughed. Here's the thing...if Dr. Ford wants to use this old score to get even with both of them 36 years later for humiliating her? Fine. Be petty. I got no problem with that. Or if she is just doing this to further her political beliefs? Fine too!! I got no problem with someone fighting their fight using the means they have.

But if we are going to be honest with each other here in these pages then let's call this what it is...an awkward sexual experience by a junior and senior in high school. Did SD20 have awkward moments like this? No! SD20 was nothing like the 40 year old virgin. SD dated 8th graders when he was in 6th grade and got kissed aggressively by women a couple years older than him under the stairs at the YMCA sleep overs. Then in high school SD20 was the star athlete and in his 20's SD20 becme very wealthy and SD20 still has a 6 pack at 47 years old. So this whole thing is a different universe than what SD20 experienced. But i do recall being scared and nervous as 8th grade girls took their turns kissing me when i was in 6th grade. I do remember my first sexual experience. I was 12 about to turn 13. She was 16. And her friedn was egging her on to take me in the bathroom and you know what. She you eventually did the you know what and i was freaking out the whole time! I tried to be normal and cool and she was really nice to me. It was both of our first times. She talked me through it and it was kinda sexy as it could be looking back. I didn't needed a coach in the room then and never did. SD20 became the kind of guy that could "pick up" 2-3 woman and have 5-6 hour escapades. SD20 is just a different animal completely than a boy scout choir boy like kavanaugh. And that doesn't excuse sexual assault!! At all. And it is always the awkward guys who assault women. Always! and every single time! Guys who naturally get what they want dont ever have to force a woman to do anything. They dont even have to ask for it. The woman pounce! Really. :nod: They do. But that's not what this was. I listened closely to her. I read her letter. That's not what this was. By any stretch. This was humiliation. Which is NOT any better nor nicer. But it wasnt' purposeful nor malicious. If their was a devil in that room it was mark judge. The guy she wanted. the much more attractive guy who was clearly playing with people for his own entertainment. Not cool. Not any nicer either. But he was also 17 years old.

And finally if there was another 40 year old virgin it was Ford. You hear this woman? I dont know whe was a bigger dork Kavanaugh or Ford? I hope and pray that those 2 only represent 20% of american at most. But i know I am lying to myself. Those 2 represent 80% of america. A bunch of dorks!! Who are ruining america.


And yes I just called a SC justice a phuckin dork!! A loser!!! I dont want the pussy making decisions for me. His natural instincts are to be a phucking pussy!!! He is a constitutionalist because he is a chicken! The man has been scared to death of anything and everything since that room in whoever's house that was and is still scared today. he is not a constitutionalist because he believes in the constitution he is so because he can hide behind the strict interpretation of it to render decisions. So he doesn't have to be a man and take a stand. I dont want a SC justice who is afraid to take a stand!!!

Now he may have never been in that room and she may have the wrong guy. I doubt it but that might be the case. I think she has the right guy. I think the whole lasted maybe 2-3 minutes. I think one of them said to her something along the indirect lines of "do you want to hear this song?" (we carried around cassette tapes back then). Might have even been Rick Springfield's jesse's girl. And she agreed to go upstairs. Agreed to listen. Then They had some sort of wierd and awkward do you wanna do this or that? She agreed. He was a awkward bumbling fool who stumbled her way through it. She could NOT have been any less interested. The only reason for another guy to be there holding anyone's proverbial hand is because she either likes both and was into hangin out with both or that other guy is who she was actually interested in but she was too shy to say so, so she agreed to allow the "cool" dork to allow his less cool super dork and soon to be 40 year old virgin to tag along and hold his friend's hand for support. God, men are such pussies!!!! So over the course of maybe 1 song they all fumble through some kind of really awkward slightly drunken attempt to kiss or fondle each other. She is CLEARLY NO LONGER Into it and aborts mission. She gets up and leaves!! They laugh! They feel rejected by her. and laugh. maybe at themselves? maybe at her? maybe they both get rejected all the time, the dorks they were. So that was just another dork let down. And the laughing is their own defense mechanism so they dont feel as bad. Or maybe they were laughing AT HER? Dont know. Dont care. But she should be not only allowed but fully licensed to walk the phuck out whenever she wants and they should be fully licensed to laugh at her if they want. Neither are all that necessary to me. You can simply say no. Or i'm not interested. if one must? walk out. Storm out. whatever. No thank you is suppose to work. But if you have to push someone off of you? Go ahead! Do you! Do what you need to do and say what you need to say. For me...i dont have any trauma from this kinda a stuff for the same reasons i raced motorcycles at 19 and surfed in 10 foot waves. Life is an adventure to me. failure is ok to me. Success was nothing more than a numbers game to me. Which allowed me to approach everything more level headed and more confidently with much less anxiety. People respond to the confidence. It makes them better and it makes you better which makes you both MUCH better together.

So that deal with the salacious nonsense the american people had to deal with for the past 11 days.

On to other critiques.

1. She is scared to fly? What a joke! She flew over 6 times in past 3 months alone!

2. She preferred a hearing to get the truth out so the senate can be advised!!?? As a licensed psychologist she would be educated as to the fact that this method of 5 minutes question and answering did NOT discover the truth. And she is smart enough to know that this is nohing mroe than her version of the truth. She is in couples therapy for a long time!!! She knows that her and her OWN DAMN HUSBAND see the exact same events much differently!! Thats the whole damn point of couples therapy!!!! Not only is she in couples therapy as a patient but she is a DOCTOR that guides others through their own therapy!!!! How phucking dumb does she think we are??? Or is she so gotdamned stupid that she is drinking her own damn koolaid!!

3. This event caused her to need a second front door??? GTFOH!!! This phucking biothc wanted that door because she just wanted it(and im open to hear the real reason why-maybe she was having an affair-or wanted a quit space to talk to her google interns she hosts in the second door foyer-you guys hear that jem BTW? :lol: :lol: ...and she cooked up this stupid effing assault story to lobby for her second door. Gimme a damn break!! I now wanna meet the dork she talked into this stupid second door!! 40 year old virgin meet the 65 year old virgin!!

4.
Read on Twitter


^^^maybe she aint that dumb after all.



6. This guy hired the facebook lobby team!!!???????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't we talk about that all week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<<< because we talked about this bull crap instead!!!??? And yearbook quotes!!!?????

7. And this is why democrats are phucking evil!!! They will talk to us about tits n ass all day long. Meanwhile they are the ones grabbing all the tits n ass. While They could have exposed that this guy is an antitrust shrill. put on the supreme court for his antitrust stance and by facebook lobbyists no less!!!

8. I want donald trump to stay in office. I think he is doing great on nearly everything despite all the noise and nonsence from the left. But as i said over and over. Donald trump is the beginning. The end game is eventual wealth redistribution. Kavanaugh is in the way of that and will side with big business. And the Dems dont care because they too are shills for big wall street and big tech. kav will be there too long. This selection means too much. As much as it potentially hurts trump, I dont want this man confirmed tomorrow and it has nothing to do with Dr. Ford or any other bogus claims. I will take this to facebook and twitter.
like i said, its a full rebuild.

The fake broken English is hilarious. Like that can't possibly be fooling anyone, right?
