The old one?

Or, the new one?

Disorder
Entitlement
Impunity

I might go for:

Diplomatic
Empathetic
Inspirational

Based upon my principles of:
Involve people in decisions that impact them, and, never cause someone to lose face in public.

Doesn’t anyone think that Jeffrey Goldberg “spilling the beans”, perhaps to get a big story for the Trump haters, is a national security issue, possibly helping the enemy? I do agree that Waltz inadvertently (?) adding him to the chat was a huge error. CLASSIC blaming the messenger and not the perp...

I’m assuming that long post was intended to refer to Walz but Waltz was used. Could that be an indication it was written by AI? Read the article and then answer your own question. Your reaction to this the same if it'd been Biden's team who had been the one involved? My signature line is the answer...

With all due respect, do you really enjoy listening to this stuff? What are you going to do with the information? It appears to be just prattle to inflame the uneducated. I could be wrong. I certainly do not enjoy reading about today's unfortunate realities. You can count me among your implied &quo...

Good one!

Now I don’t have a burr under my saddle.

I believe Kriegsspiel once wrote that his ancestors did the same.
Maybe he’s Scythian.

Now I know why your coffee is taking so long. You must be using a pour over into a skull.

I guess the grounds are stuck on there from the natural oils. They didn’t vaccuum well. I should have mentioned that I have to use a small brush (e.g. an old toothbrush) after vacuuming the "bulk dust" to remove the "stuck on dust"; then vacuum again. I also vacuum the discharge...

Why is my coffee burr grinder grinding less and less, meaning I have to run it longer and longer to just to make 20 oz of coffee? I guess it needs maintenance but in the meantime, where are all the grounds going? I have to take off the bean holder and top grinder burr assembly and vacuum out the re...

Sorry I haven't been checking in much lately. Work and upcoming school are pretty crazy.

About to start my shift. Hope you all have an awesome day.

Likewise to you. It's all going to be okay. :-)

Germany needs its own nukes. WW2 was a long time ago. If they, France, and UK had nukes, it would be more of a deterrent against Putin. Especially if they deploy tactical nukes in tiny, unconventional asymmetric-warfare type of vehicles... air or land or sea remotely piloted land vehicles, etc. 1) ...

Where are all the "for the little man" Ds on that list in the last paragraph above?

That’s the same Bio I read.

Why am I thinking of the term Helicopter Parent?

Watching Trump's spokeswoman. She just clarified that every illegal immigrant is an illegal criminal since they broke the law. Somewhat of a step back from the focus being first on the heinous criminals. The difference between campaign promises and actual governing. She IS a True Believer. Good cho...

I suppose, Dieter. I just think that if we compare every form of heavy-handedness to Nazis, then “nazi” loses all meaning. The only people more hyperbolic than Trump are his opponents. Who is more hyperbolic remains to be seen It's not even a contest. One can never be too hyperbolic if you are desc...
