Thread by which I will likely commit career suicide by confronting the #1 clicked on website in "conservative media" -- yet I'm so mad at what's being done to #AlfieEvans I don't care.
So @DRUDGE_REPORT has been the #1 website in conservative media for years. There is NOTHING on its front page about Alfie losing his latest appeal to stave off execution by the state.

Nothing.

Not a damned thing.

But Drudge does have the following headlines trending:
"Roseanne's ratings fall to earth"
"Wild sex parties driving upscale community crazy"
"Kanye unleashed"
"Monkey dressed as blond doll forced to beg in India"
Somehow those matter more than a ritualistice execution of an innocent child in public by what's behaving as a polices state. Who needs CNN if our own most popular "conservative media" behaves like this? Why complain about Twitter scrubbing Alfie when Drudge does?
My only question is if Drudge is ignoring what we care about, or feeding us what we care about? That we care more about these meaningless stories on Drudge's front page than Western Civilization crossing a point of no return?
This is why we lose, even when we win. Why it feels like the Left is running the country, even though there's more Republicans in elected office nationwide in almost 90 years. We either don't care, can't be bothered, or are lions led by lambs.

I will now read for myself the #Mueller #CohenSentencingMemo and comment on it here in real-time like I previously did the one from the Feds.
Mueller says Cohen ADMITTED lying to Congress specifically to conceal the president's involvement in the Moscow business project, and give false impression matter was settled before the Iowa Caucuses.
The tone of Mueller's memo seems friendlier to the Feds, which was a 38-page verbal spanking (see my thoughts on that one posted here earlier).

Now that we're post-Labor Day, the real 2018 election push is underway...here's a primer thread for those who want real instead of partisan tribalism these final 60 days.
1) No, the polls were not wrong in 2016. In fact, the RCP national average almost nailed the final popular vote. Plus, most of the battleground state polls were within MOE. The polls performed pretty well in 2016.
2) Who got it way wrong in 2016 were election forecasters that predicted what the polling data meant. Largely, they assumed Hillary's organizational edge would win these MOE states like Obama did in 2012. Except she was far more disliked than Obama.

Now that it's out I will provide my thoughts on #NunesMemo in this thread as I read it in real time.
Smart to lead off with Constitutional authority supporting this disclosure.
From the White House itself.

1st #Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what barriers/challenges have you faced/overcome in your career path?'

Overwhelmingly, discrimination, issues related to being the only woman in their place of work, and childcare were cited most #WomeninSTEM
1. "In several of my positions, I have been the first woman hired. There have been challenges proving that I am as intelligent and capable as my male colleagues. I have faced bias, as well as discrimination in pay and acknowledgment of my capabilities."
2. "I have not had any barrier for being a woman but I think sometime I have created my own barriers: low ambition, being too prudent and now I realize I had to think bigger to achieve bigger things. My main challenge has being to juggle my work and my role as mum of 3 children."

Many are praying to a God they quietly resent.

#thread
The low currency of resentment comes from an insidious frustration we experience from trying so hard without permanent success to conform to His standards of good behaviour and conduct.
The way we were taught already destined us to doomsday. On the one hand, we know we need Him, but on the other, we are crippled by our repetitive failure to obey His commandments - commandments we were told were fundamental to His acceptance of us.

This is a #thread regarding Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv, the person who is currently claiming to be a trans woman and suing beauticians who have been refusing to wax their male genitals. I have decided to make this thread with neutral pronouns regarding Jonathan/Jessica because from
what I could gather they have chosen to be referred to as both Jonathan and Jessica and no amount of disgust and hatred I feel for someone could get me to misgender them on purpose. It took me ages to decide to actually make this thread happen because my story with this person is
very much still an open wound and traumatised me in ways I'm not sure I even fully comprehend. I appreciate RTs to get the word out, and I also am open to answering questions but please do not expect me to answer everything, this is very overwhelming. The only reason I am willing

SO MUCH ADO ABOUT HSBC

#thread
People have been screaming about the exit of HSBC and UBS as sign of
bad economics. That's a huge lie. I will try to explain it in a very
simple way. HSBC and UBS were never set up for regular banking. When I say regular banking I mean retail banking.
They never ran salary
accounts; they were never set up to afford loans to customers etc.
Their sole purpose was to help customers who can afford their services
an easy way to transfer funds overseas.

This week @10DowningStreet announced the appointment of the UK’s first Minister for Suicide Prevention – a monumental move for CALM, everyone in this movement, and, importantly, everyone in the UK. Here's why, and how we got here. THREAD 👇
Around 6,000 lives are lost to #suicide in the UK every year. 76% of those are male, which makes suicide the biggest killer of men under 45.
Suicide has a huge emotional impact – on families, communities and on society as a whole. Government figures estimate the cost of each suicide at £1.67 million, but we know the real cost is the devastation each and every suicide leaves behind.

Fell into a 90s/00s #suicide anthem music loop this afternoon and it reminded me of how depressed I have been in the past and how depressed I am now, again, and how much we still don't discuss #depression in this society.

I wrote this a couple years ago.
It's a good piece on writers & suicide, with an emphasis on #LGBT suicides because we kill ourselves more (thanks #homophobia/#transphobia)than str8 people.

Society still romanticizes #depression instead of treating it.
