But in reality, the episode demonstrated once again that the president of the United States couldn’t get the people he appointed to carry out his policies because he couldn’t be bothered to learn how to implement them. As soon as he realized an Afghanistan withdrawal would require more work than having McEntee scribble up a note, he dropped it entirely. scary stuff "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman

And then you go along to get along. When I was in that position I realized my family could go to jail for a very long time or I can admit to anything they want. These people are right before that position. How long can I skate before it all comes crashing down so I admitted to everything to drop their charges. M told me she wanted to run. The only reason she didn't run is because she didn't have the keys for the van. I had them in my bag. I hid them. If she grabbed and ran at this moment she would be running for the rest of her life. So I hid them. She was pissed when she found out. It was worth it. Edited by crazy Nov. 10, 2023, 01:15:50 PM EST Expand All History
