Had to use a prescription painkiller for the first in my life. Holy shit I cannot believe how strong the stuff people are getting addicted to must be, based on my experience with this thing. Legit scary.
Discussed it with a friend who's a doctor and he's like yeah, what you're on is considered the weak stuff.

I dreamt I was a fighter pilot in N Korea and that I had to do a murderous obstacle course operated by KFC. My brain is a weird place.

i think most dems want a nice clean very happy primary fight and im over here saying "you have to sacrifice everything for the stones."
one of my biggest concerns about obama in 2008 was i did not think he was ready to go up against the gop machine in the fall. he had an easy election and had been praised to the sky for months. the war with hrc got him ready to take down mccain, ill always believe that.
me in an ideal world, after the primary (won't happen, but a boy can dream)

Kylie Jenner is donating a million. She's worth several billion less than Bezos.
This is a good example of why sitting back and relying on the charity of the super rich will never be enough.
It's a core tenet of conservatism: hollow out the safety net, don't tax the super rich, and they will fill in the gaps in society of their own volition. They don't need to be compelled, the money will just trickle down. BS.

Mike Pompeo says its completely consistent to say there was an imminent threat from Iran to the USA and his statement that there wasn't specific intelligence on an imminent attack.

RELATED: americanindependent.com/mike-pompeo-ir…
Asked about Trump's long history of attacking intelligence agencies for giving him information he doesn't like, Pompeo says that Trump citing them to justify attacking Iran is perfectly acceptable.
Reporters point out to Mike Pompeo that what he said about Iran does not sound like an "imminent threat," so they ask him to give his definition of an imminent threat. He evades the question.

SETTING UP FOR THAT $1000 ORDER
A THREAD:
After the thread of tweets on freelancing and where to sign up as a freelancer I did last week, A lot of people have been in my DMs to ask more about how to go about it. Well, I didn’t want to answer because not even two people have taken
action. But on second thought I did, and I hope people will at least check these stuff out. Not as if it will affect me anyways. It is not everyone that wants money. Lmao
I have picked Fiverr as a start point for people who want to set up their accounts. If you want to do other
the site, you can send a dm instead.
The first thing you should know about Fiverr is the terms you will be using with your client and this will go a long way in preparing you for the task ahead.
Here is how the Fiverr interface is with different motion images.

It's time for that THREAD about STILLMATIC, one of NaS' most beloved albums. Peep the bonus tracks on the copy I picked up in Tokyo. Japanese CDs nearly always have the lyrics. The CD's design lets you know what time is it
NaS was getting it from all sides between the releases of NaStradamus’ in Nov. 99 and Stillmatic, his fifth solo album, in Dec. 2001. NaStradamus was hated, Queens rap crews were falling apart, Jay-Z dropped Takeover in Aug. 2001, and NaS’ beloved mom, Ann, was dying of cancer.
I say August 2001 because that's when The Blueprint leaked, weeks before its Sept. 11, 2001 release date.

1) Alright, let's start this return from hiatus off RIGHT. Livetweeting while I read this; the much-awaited Mueller indictments. justice.gov/file/1035477/d…
2) I've never heard of any of the companies or names listed as defendants. I'll let some other research nerds handle that.
3) Foreigners cant drop money into an election, have to register as foreign agents if engaging in political activity in the US, and should not lie on their VISA applications. I wonder if Steele registered as a foreign agent when he was running around in the US promoting his memos

's national security strategy. Currently digging through it now, I'll live tweet it because why not.
Intro's pretty standard. Promises referenced, talks about how rogue nations developing nuclear and ballistic missile technology, unchecked immigration as a vehicle for drug cartels, etc threaten our security, even references NATO members not paying up while our military crumbled.
Definitely sounding like a mission statement for how the Trump administration is going to protect the US by the end of the intro. I'm rather intrigued.
