I think all the "give Barr the benefit of the doubt" people need to look themselves in the mirror and try to figure out why they're such desperate punks who need to pretend like things are normal.
It's not even the first time for these people. The people telling us to trust Barr were THE SAME people who rushed out of the gate on Team Kavanaugh.

Y'all need to ask yourselves WHY you keep making the same mistake. Stop embarrassing yourselves. Learn something. Do better.
Nobody cares if you knew the Trumpster or worked with him or golfed with him or went to an Eyes Wide Shut party with him. Understand that your personal networks are full of weak-minded henchmen willing to supplicate to Trump AND START MAKING BETTER FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES!
Things are not normal. People are SUFFERING because your buddies from the Day Country Hunting Cigar Preparatory Club are SMASHING THE COUNTRY and taking what they want.

Stop being the guys who roll over on their bellies, and start being the people who lay down on the tracks.

The central appeals of Trump is that he makes dumb people feel smart. Like, imagine you're dumb, and all your life people like me have been using words like "dumb" to describe how dumb you are.

Then, along comes this Trump dumbass. Suddenly, you're not the dumbest guy you know.
How empowering it must be.
Like, RIGHT NOW some conservative motherfucker is writing an op-ed "Trump's Windmill Comments Tilt Towards A Deeper Truth." It'll gloss over Trump's demented idiocy, but praise how Trump is "connecting" with people fearful of change.
It'll say that Trump *understands* something that @AOC -- who is a foot smarter than Trump -- does not. Imagine being told somebody needs to LEARN how to be as stupid as you.

It'll say that he's speaking a language the left needs to learn.

This is such a freaking JOKE.

DOJ: Oh, we can't indict the President
@SpeakerPelosi: Oh, we shouldn't impeach the President.

HE'S NOT A GODDAMN KING. He is a criminal. We have LAWS. USE THEM!
@SpeakerPelosi If Republicans in the Senate don't *remove* him, that's on THEM. That's THEIR moral and ethical failure.

CHRIST! I don't *really* think my kids are going to finish all their vegetables, BUT I PUT THEM ON THE PLATE ANYWAY. That's my freaking JOB. TO TRY.

House should do ITS JOB
@SpeakerPelosi And how, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that the lesson from "the public didn't like impeaching lying blow job man was "don't fulfill Constitutional responsibilities." HOW IS THAT THE LESSON?

Why not: "Don't hypocritically care about blow jobs, but do care about ACTUAL CRIMES!"?

I have a theory for why @AOC and @AyannaPressley handled their hearing better than other, older Dems.

It’s bc they didn’t *need* the national TV attention. TV is not how they reach their constituents. They didn’t need to *look* like they were working, they could just work.
@AOC @AyannaPressley When they need to attract media attention, when they need to speechify, they use social media. That’s how they connect. AOC can blow up Instagram any time she wants. She doesn’t need... cable.
A major Congressional hearing is the only opportunity for a lot of Dems to be seen outside their district. For the freshman women, it *wasn’t.* So they could focus on the important parts instead of grandstanding for the cameras. These women have “the cameras” on their phones.

Here we go
So, this is a bunch of horseshit.

Mueller left it up to main justice to decide if Trump obstructed justice, and they (Barr/Rosenstein) decided no, even though he’s on tape admitting that he obstructed justice?
To clarify: we’re not done yet. When I say “this is a bunch of horseshit” I’m referring to this 4 page paper.

I’ll compose some thoughts on this later. For now I’m going to go curse at the folks to told me to give Barr the benefit of the doubt

How to turn social media weakness into strength:-
-check if you are doing anything different on different platforms eg are you following same people on fb insta and twitter.
-are you posting same thing everywhere to get more likes.
(1/1)
-ask yourself, what is it most you fear you want to do but cannot do because of social media, eg not able to talk to family and friends, not able to research on topics you want but dont feel have time. Not able to read for even 15 minutes a day or workout even 7 minutes (1/2)
-what is your biggest social media addiction, may be snapchat fb or insta.
-start slow, delete not so real people who are just online friends but you never met and will never meet or talk.
-unfollow pages which bombard your wall with news and info that you keep watching (1/3)

Many Iranians criticised one of BBC Farsi’s journalists for her comments on Iran-Hezbullah relations. Some have even threatened her that she won’t be allowed to go back to Iran after the fall of the regime. Many Iranians believe some of @bbcpersian journalists support the regime.
In the past few days some anti-BBC slogans have been chanted by the protesters in Iran. In a comment one of BBCFarsi journalist claims that ‘Trump wants to turn Iran into another Syria by starting a civil war etc’. The same propaganda which is pumped out by Iranian state media.
Some of @BBCPersian journalists block anyone who criticises them. One of its journalists in particular has publicly supported A.Khamenei on his social media pages. I have written to a few MPs and the BBC about. Will see if BBC is interested in opening an investigation.

@saieedkhalil Trial and errror. The easiest thing is to open the attribute table (CT Ave Monopoly Card) & click on a header from the joined layer to move the nulls to the top. Then, you have to try to figure out why it's null. Usually, it's due to a mismatch of GEOIDs/names. But sometimes...
@saieedkhalil ...it's because there are precincts or geographies in the original shapefile that have been merged or otherwise no longer exist. Then, you have to carefully look at the missing geos & try to figure out what happened.
@saieedkhalil QGIS is finicky about duplicative column names, sometimes. Thus, sometimes, you HAVE to add a prefix to the joined dataset or QGIS will choke and add nulls. It's also finicky about empty cells in your data at times.

Since it comes up again and again, especially with the rate at which games are released these days, here's a quick rundown on how to survive indie gamedev. At least, this is what I do and things have worked out ok. So strap yourself in and away we go... #gmaedev #indie #indiedev
You want to think in 3's:
3 days
3 weeks
3 months
3 years
Because time is the most important resource we have, both in gamedev and life. It rules all. So be very aware of your time. Now, 3's:
3 days to solve a problem. If you're spending more than 3 days to get something working or solve a bug, it's time to move on to something else. Come back to it after a refresh before it becomes a rabbit hole. Rabbit holes are death.

Jimin then followed Jungkook's advice and looked for other ways to destress. He immediately regretted going to Twitter because his favorite NSFW account posted a new video.
Jimin, feeling so stressed, provided him with no self control at all, so he clicked on the video. He never came so fast in his life and he started feeling the guilt immediately after.
