Welcome to DU, BleedsBlue!
Excellent news. I just hope it holds!
I swear, I'm gonna be a nervous wreck by Election Day...
It certainly does!
An innocent man would want ALL the evidence out, released to the public.
Welcome to DU, tazmaniac!
They can rationalize pretty much everything, can't they!
The only people playing rough are on THAT side of the aisle. Things in Portland didn't start getting overheated, to begin with, until the stormtroopers arrived.
Yep.
What always helps me stay focused AND, more importantly, MOTIVATED.
is the awareness that theyre HOPING well get tired and realize that its useless to keep fighting ... and so we just give up. (And maybe just go away).
That is what they want.
You hear it all over. Anyone notice the talking point thats started to seep into the national consciousness? The exhausted thing? Im exhausted. This is exhausting. Were becoming exhausted...
THATS what they want. It makes conquest easier. It makes a takeover easier. You dont have to work as hard or lose as much energy/blood/fighters/operatives/strategies when youve worn the opposition down because THEY do the finishing for you. THEY get tired or frustrated and THEY give up. Futility can be the offenders best friend. It closes the deal with less cost and/or effort.
And the mentality here seems pretty basic. Theyre essentially lazy and self-entitled, so they really dont want to have to work that hard. It should be easy, because, well, THEY are the masters, THEY are the Alpha, and theyre the entitled. THEY are the chosen because their king is the chosen one. He even said so during one of those impromptu White House outdoor press gaggles, half-joking about it. Uh-huh. Joking my ass.
So, better to just overwhelm and exhaust the opponent. They think, anyway. The opponent will get tired, frustrated, and most-preferably, dispirited, and give up. Or give up and go away. Or, most-preferably, give in.
Well, I WONT!!!
I REFUSE!!!
I WILL NOT PLAY!!! Or, in this case, GET played.
They want us to get tired, overwhelmed, exhausted, worn down. And giving up. So they can just roll on over us and flatten us and rule.
And I. WONT. DO. IT. No matter how tired or frustrated or despondent it may make me feel. Thats what they want.
So I AINT GIVIN IT TO EM.
I. WONT. PLAY.
