Laugh or Cry, Your Choice!

For better or for worse (only time will tell, based strictly on results), can you imagine any other president writing a letter like this to another head of state?

I am splitting my sides laughing.

@ScottAdamsSays
@ScottAdamsSays Someone asked me how could I laugh about this when 'good people' are being slaughtered. Simple. I just don't believe that is the case. Fighters are fighting because that's what they always do in that region. If good people were being slaughtered, we would have 24/7 coverage.
@ScottAdamsSays Go ahead and check for yourself the news websites for NYT, WaPo, WSJ, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, FOX, et al. Do you see any coverage about good people being slaughtered? If you do, send me a link. If not, do you think it's b/c they want to be nice to Trump?

1. Mixed Feelings About This

I heartily congratulate Jessica Meir and Christina Koch for their terrific accomplishment and being an inspiration to little girls. Anything that reinforces "women can do anything" is good.
2. On a personal note, I have an emotional link to NASA and especially women astronauts in NASA.

Kalpana Chawla was an American astronaut, engineer, and the first woman of Indian descent to go to space. She first flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997. In 2003.
3. On Feb 1, 2003, Kalpana Chawla perished, along with six other colleagues, when space shuttle Columbia blew up upon re-entry, after a 16-day flight.

This image of the STS-107 shuttle Columbia crew in orbit was recovered from wreckage inside an undeveloped film canister.

House passed a resolution opposing Trump’s move to pull U.S. forces from northern Syria.

That's rich! House opposes withdrawal of forces from a war it never had the guts to declare in the first place.

Also, since when is Congress in charge of orchestrating military operations?
President Trump explains his decision to withdraw ground troops from northern Syria. You may disagree with his decision, but his rationale is cogent and defensible.
Why are Republicans in the House such wusses? They can criticize Trump's decision all they want, but they should not go along with Democrats trashing the Constitution. How the f*ck does the House end up voting on troop movements? And Republicans go along with this travesty!

1. On Political Systems

At the heart of every political system lies an answer to the fundamental question: "What price security?" And the currency with which the citizens ultimately pay for security, physical & financial, is always liberty.
2. All security, no liberty => Soviet Union
All liberty, no security => Frontier America

Of course, most people want both liberty and security. That's why all political systems, at a practical level, trade some liberty to gain a measure of security. The question is how much?
3. In western democracies, a decent metric for gauging the balance between liberty and security is the percentage of GDP that is collected by the government in taxes, as it is a rough measure of the percentage of all economic activity managed by the government.

I am a historian of US foreign policy. I have read many, many letters from US Presidents to foreign leaders, and I have never read a letter from the US President so unhinged, so threatening, so bizarre, so completely lacking in basic etiquette. Trump is deeply, deeply unwell.
2/ For non-historians wondering what makes this letter so unusual, aside from the bonkers prose: Normally a letter from the US president to a foreign leader is drafted by the national security advisor or other high level policymakers, with input from other stakeholders.
3/ Even in response to rapidly unfolding events, a Pres letter is written and edited by committee, almost never by the Pres himself, and usually goes through multiple drafts to make sure every word is consistent with existing policy or spells out a considered policy option.

THIS. IS. IT. The moment we've all been waiting for #PreviewTime

Stage 18: Embrun > Valloire (208km)

We've finally made it to the Alps and beginning of the end of this year's epic race. Time to don the oxygen masks, tomorrow we're heading above the clouds!

#TDF2019🇫🇷

THREAD👇
We're now at the business end of this year's race and within the mountains we've all been waiting for since the moment the route was first announced!

The GC is tighter than ever, 2:14 separating the first 6 on GC, and just 36 seconds between 2nd to 6th! Mental 😱

#TDF2019🇫🇷
With the gaps so tight and the mountains we've got to come over the next three days, I'd bet my house (conveniently my parent's house😉) on the GC royally exploding - the final results looking vastly different to how they do now.

Many academics find sitting down at the computer and starting to write to be the most difficult challenge facing them. One of the reasons for this, as one of my students put it so well, is that “if I never start, then I never fail.”
#AcWri #PhD

Another reason academics can't get started writing is getting out of the habit of writing–or never having had a writing habit.
While tough to overcome, this obstacle does have some straightforward solutions.
Here are ten (10) solutions.
#acwri #PhD
2/23
1. Make other tasks contingent on writing
An excellent way of dealing with the difficulty of getting started is to make a preferred task contingent on a nonpreferred task, as the behavior management experts put it (Boice 1983).

2. If you have not read the first thread I wrote on this, you really must read it to understand the importance and context of THIS thread. Twatter has been messing with me, that's why I'm starting a new thread for part II instead of continuing on part I.

3. So, NEW INFO! Check this out from September 3rd, 2016. This guy saw it for what it was, made a bit of a parody of it and apparently the community on this site proposed multiple "moves" by both DJT and HRC. Note, He has Trump winning. Must be a PATRIOT! chess.com/forum/view/gam…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
