So, Laura, fancy meeting you here, again!
Gripping and sickening, and essential viewing.
Thank you Laura.
my connections crummy so I have to let it play through without the volume so I can watch a smooth transmission the second time.
Wonder what it’s like to watch on television, isn’t GRITtv on TV?
What newtonusr said.
It’s on FSTV after Democracy Now in the morning.
this is what I just don’t get about the shrubocracy. The most basic principle of militarism and militaristic states is, be nice to the military, make even foot soldiers feel like members of a pampered elite… ’cause you need ‘em to do your repressin’ and conquerin’ for you. I guess its because we’re not ruled by true authoritarians.. just take-the-money and run thieves. I mean I’m not expressing a preference for military authoritarians over kleptocrats or anything.. I’m just sayin’
Wow. But as the VA Secretary reminded us a few days ago,

liberal psychiatrist can ruin your whole life.
Eli is upstairs!
I’m suffering from ITSD — Incessant, Traumatic Shame Disorder — from witnessing the actions of this group. Everytime I think that their behavior can’t be more repugnant, they surprise me. I wonder what it’s like to live without shame, like they do.
What does shrub suffer from? That would be Incorrigible Cowardly Shameful Dirtbag syndrome.
