Compromise means we get something and weegxve something. What are we saying we get? Plum committee assignments in return for no progressive bill ever passing the House?

What American President doesn’t deserve it? We’ve been a violent empire since our inception.

The irony of Pelosi not voting against the secretary of war that has GUTTED the military so she could get an award from a Veteran’s group is horrific.

Sounds like Jeffries got exactly what he wanted.

Yeah, seeing a different one. ADHD is a lot easier to get diagnosed with than autism, probably because autism is not treated with medicine, so why bother diagnosing it if you’re psychiatry.

US. Neurospych consult is this week, and then the actual eval a few weeks out from that.

In the meantime, I do need a prescriber, so I have something scheduled for that, too, beforehand, because I like to think that psychiatrists should be competent to diagnose common issues.

As for people being stupid, yes, they certainly can be, but they’re the gatekeepers.

Yeah, I’d like to have Autism and ADHD if it makes sense, but thats just for a more thorough neuropsych eval. If I just need meds, it’s fine that I just have ADHD. And I do just need meds, and I do have an appointment scheduled with someone who treats depression and ADHD so hopefully she knows the difference…

What kind of talk therapy did you do? Any specific modality? Or just an informal kind of self-investigation?

Thanks for confirming my sanity.

In my case, there’s no need to do anti-depressants even if there were a requirement, which I don’t there is, because I suffered from depression most of my adult life was ultimately referred for ECT exactly because the medicines were ineffective.

Hey, we just won some big elections. It’s time for horses to get their own bus service!

Holy Shit. If he’s being this much a dick now, there’s no way in fucking hell is going to cooperate with the progressive caucus. Sure, you might get your committee assignments, but Dems are pros are strategically sinking progressive policies and there is little doubt in my mind that Jeffries will effectively stifle any movement towards fulfilling the mandates of this election.

I don’t have whatever this is, but, yeah, grey is actually what comes to mind.

To paraphrase Eowyn, those who don’t drive cars can still be killed by them.

That’s a very declarative question.

Whatever color is the most 9 coded.

Yeah, but think of the revenue the town is generating by ticketing people for speeding in a school zone. That shows they care. /s

Same in the US and it is wild.

Our range of choices are influenced by our environment, sure, but they are also influenced by our values. The choices you make show what your values are.

Writing, the Hemmingway Method:

Step 1. Obtain a bottle of absinthe.

I think Sander’s knows he’s too old for leadership at this point. The man he is proposing for Majority Leader is 67, which is still old, but only a little bit above the average for the Senate, and quite a few years younger than the 85-y-o Sanders.

Dude, you slapped a fiiiish
