I'm just so tired of the whiniest administration in the history of Western Civilization. The one satirical reaction to Trump's joint press conference whine-fest referring to him sarcastically as the "most put upon person" kind of nailed how I see him at the end of the day. The big three Donald, Rudy and Lindsey.....just so loving soft man. We've been listening to this guy just constantly air his grievances and whine about every person that dares criticize him every single day for nearly three years now. I never would have predicted he would be more bearable as a candidate in the long run.

So the question I will be pondering come 2020 is "How about it America, do you really want a whiny sadsack miserable gently caress as President for another 4 years?"

I'm trying to find that clip of Jon Stewart just before the election talking about how Trump abides no slights ever and can't ever ever let go of a grudge, and that if he'd be elected it would be a nonstop shitshow where nothing would ever get done. I can't find it though

California just legalized public banking, setting the stage for more affordable housing

'"The California governor, Gavin Newsom, on Wednesday signed the Public Banking Act, or AB 857, which will allow city and county governments to create, or sponsor, public banks. Those banks will in turn provide public agencies access to loans at interest rates much lower than they could find at private banks.

"Democrats should make it legally impossible for impeachment to deliver them the White House."
...
"But even a little uncertainty about that outcome might be enough to push otherwise open-minded Republicans away from voting for impeachment or conviction. Removing Pelosi and the third-in-line official, Senate President Pro Tem Charles Grassley, from having any chance of becoming president would be a worthwhile gesture for Democrats to make, indicating that they accept the reality that a Republican will be president until January, 2021, no matter what happens."

Do not want Pelosi in charge, but there are no "open-minded Republicans". None shall rule. All of them are either currently supporting the orange fecal smear or have been too silent for too long to matter. Negotiation is no longer necessary.

Rick Perry Digs in for a Fight

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is indicted, accused of abusing his power
latimes.com/Aug. 15, 2014
"Texas Gov. Rick Perry was indicted by a grand jury Friday, accused of two felony counts of abusing his power by eliminating funds for the state’s ethics watchdog.

The byzantine case involves the drunk-driving conviction of a Democratic prosecutor, deep-seated partisan tensions and a test of Perry’s powers as the longest-serving chief executive in Texas history. It comes as Perry attempts to resurrect his image and renew his presidential ambitions after a disastrous 2012 run.

With the governor already planning to step down at the end of his term in January, the impact is likely to be greatest outside his home state, where Perry is probably still best known for the pratfalls of his unsuccessful White House bid."

An earlier poster mentioned something about Perry's penchant for avoiding phone and internet contacts while grifting, preferring direct contact?

If the example box they posted is correct, it's phenylephrine and not pseudoephedrine; not the one you can make meth out of and usually the one my patients complain doesn't work. It's still strange as hell that he's got a UK brand in his New York office, but I can believe that he or whatever minion procured it doesn't know the difference. (Paracetamol is the European name for Tylenol) He may still be sensitive to it, but if not lol if he snorts that up and believes it's going to get him whacked out.

Ok so when the Ukraine call transcript was first released it was kind of important that there wasn’t an explicit quid pro quo (that Trump specifically outlined on the call). However, everyone could see that there was an implied threat in Trump’s classic mob shakedown.
Trump naturally took to the defensive, insisting that there was no quid pro quo at all and the Ukraine president didn’t feel threatened or pressured at all.
And now the Secretary of State makes a speech where he basically admits “Hell yeah, we quid pro quo, we do it all the time and it’s actually cool and good.”

Lol

Trump is clearly on uppers; that's a clinical diagnosis just watching him.

Generally people with a drug addiction will bridge it with something accessible, or something less intense, but in the same vein. Like for example meth addicts will take ephedrine however they can get it, or people on benzos will chug nyquil etc.

I can, unfortunately, second this. Adderall is, in broad strokes, methyamphetamine but tempered by delivery as a series of salts. But people can and do abuse it because like any other psychoaffective medication, the objective is functional normalcy and not a high. So people who want a high take more than they need, badaboom.

People will abuse all sorts of things that on paper shouldn't even provide a high. Gabapentin, for nerve pain, may as well be heroin for how often some patients attempt weeks-early refills.
