“developed skills”

I mean, that’s a weak argument for them to make anyway. The only ones to benefit from this new skill are the owners, not the slaves. Hard to say “I learned how to harvest cotton well” is worth being torn away from your family and brutalized repeatedly because they’ve decided a whole group of people are just property.

I’m glad the Confederacy lost the war. But I fear that it will, after all these centuries, win the peace.

I’m shook

I’m trying to imagine what it would be like for them to be that low in life, attempt suicide, end up hospitalized, then hit with a massive bill to crush them further. Some countries do a much better job at caring for their population than others, that’s for sure.

I think I needed to hear this this week. Been a busy time.

What happens if you go into … Steam debt? Does your account get locked until you pay it off or something? I had no idea that was even a thing.

Hubris.

Harming a child like that is probably the worst thing one person can ever do to another.

But… his golf shirts! Doesn’t everyone store their clothing in boxes of classified documents? I mean, where else could they possibly go?

(I wonder what version of this story he’ll tell in court, I’m sure it’ll be fun to hear about.)

“And they asked for it, they did ask for it,” Baier noted. “And then they went to DOJ to subpoena you. Why not just hand them over then?”

“Because I had boxes,” Trump said. “I want to go through the boxes and get all my personal things out. I don’t want to hand that over to NARA yet. And I was very busy as you’ve sort of seen.”

He went on to address claims in the indictment that he told an aide to move the boxes to other locations after telling lawyers to say he had fully complied: “Before I send the boxes over, I have to take all of my things out.”

“These boxes were interspersed with all sorts of things,” Trump said. “Golf shirts, clothing, pants, shoes.”

Reality truly is stranger than fiction.
