Local media state that he fell from the 11th floor of his apartment building. An investigation is ongoing due to the suspicious nature of the incident.

''This is the problem though: If Donald Trump is the standard by which everybody else is judged, by definition nobody can be unqualified. The standards have been set so low that the bar currently resides at the molten core of the earth.''
Some folks would call that hell. I would tend to agree.

He needs his kind around him. And anyone who dares think they are better - Joni Ernst, defender of warrior women who have been sexually assaulted- will cower in fear and relinquish any dignity they ever had.
He broke her.
I think she really is afraid. She showed her reluctance in December and was worked over.
I have been put in some tough spots in my career and my response was to continue to do what's right even if I lost my job, but everyone is not built the same.
Broken manifests itself differently for each and every one of us. I'm disappointed in her, but I pity her as well.
I was always awed by the immensity of the next task placed before me. Yes even afraid. But it made me always go back to the basics of what I know how to do in my sleep. Apply the Scientific process, come up with alternatives for action, see who wants to play which alternative, form the team and go at it without holding back. Make sure you have the best team possible. Don't give a inch, unless it's part of the plan. In Battle, yes there are many forms of battle during implementation. In Battle r…
I like your methodology.
I mentioned Joni Ernst being "worked over". Who knows how that manifested in her work environment? MAGA don't look at women as their equals. I can't imagine what was said to her. She's already been a victim of sexual assault.
I've been in hostile work environments where people have come into my office, pounded the desk and dropped eff bombs. I've been stalked and hunted down.
So again, I take your point, but some times other steps have to be taken to either get along or just survive.
Yes, Sera. Your point is well taken, because I have not consciously been in those situations before. The context in which my methodology has worked for me has never been victimhood, except for the bullying I experienced so often as a child growing up. When you move around the world as a kid as much as I did, the next bully is just 6 to 12 months away. And, for sure, I hadn't even heard of my method then. I can't even remember right now how I dealt with it.
I know you are an ally because you are open to consider another perspective.
None of us want to be victims, but it happens. It's life.
The best part of us is that we empathize and can give grace to those who we don't agree with.
I'd have shucked the Republican affiliation long before it became MAGA, but Senator Ernst made a bed she now has to lie in. I suspect that bed will be on fire when Hegseth unleashes the military on civilians.
