Similarly there was a common refrain that Obama created ISIS, which was equally impossible given that it happened before Obama. Does that absolve him of any blame for ISIS-related failures? Not at all, just the creation of it.

If I’m not mistaken, this reference was about the ISIL state created inside Syria. Obama waited til Damascus was obliterated before doing anything. American tax payers forked out billions of dollars to weaponize resistance fighters, those resistance fighters turned against us and took all those toys with them to Syria. That is why the claim that Obama created ISIS was used by Trump.

No. The reason why Trump claimed that Obama created ISIS is because Trump just makes up lots of random accusations, be they valid or not. You are retconning Trump’s intent by assigning reasoning that Trump was likely never even aware of at the time he said it.

Okay, I’ll back up my point if you can back up yours? Naw, I’m not like that, here is something to read. I don’t know what Trump knows or doesn’t know and when he knows it or doesn’t but if you do, good on you.

Just for kicks, I followed the link. Holy cow. I didn’t know there were sites still linking to InfoWars as a “more information” source for their articles, since Alex Jones came out and said “Oh, it’s all just made up conspiracy theories for the gullible–I’m just a performance artist.” That statement, being something that actually happened, must be slow-traveling news in some circles. Apparently InfoWars is still not a red flag for whacked out unsubstantiated BS for the entire world quite yet.

I certainly hope you realized that I don’t ever endorse Infowars for anything. It is no secret that we backed rebels with weapons to fight ISIS/ISIL and those rebels started joining ISIS/ISIL afterwards. We sent them arms that the American taxpayers paid for. The plan was a bust.

In other news, I took my first step to a proper home theater: An actual Blu-ray player, as opposed to DVD. And I got some advice on a sound system; the guy recommended looking at a soundbar at first, or at least thinking about the budget some more, as even the DAC might be costly.

Cool, just do some research before you buy a soundbar, just to make sure you get the most for your money out of it.

Everyone keeps telling me this, and they’re right. It just so fucking hard. I’m spending a lot of time saying I want to get better, but I’m sure not spending much in action pushing to get better? And why? Because it’s too hard. That’s not fair of me to others. And I know that. But Christ, is it fucking hard, and even the smallest steps are hard. So this kick in the ass is probably necessary. I just wish I could make SOME progress. If I did, I’d see how it was possible and feel more hopeful. But enough of my pity party. And thanks, you guys. You’re good to have around to talk to, and hopefully I haven’t been driving everyone nuts with my whining about all of this.

You ARE making progress because you are STILL with us. Don’t underestimate the power or importance of survival. Without discussing it too much, I suffer something similar, and everyday is a battle. Now, I have a daughter and she is my rock, but it doesn’t win the battle. I do. I force myself to be aware and to take what measures I think will best help me fight. I am always exhausted but I am alive. I am learning to move forward and I won’t look back.

Keep coming here … we’ll be here to help you along.

I hadn’t seen this one until today.

Cegavske said in the letter that DMV employees offered and accepted voter registrations from people seeking identification cards and driver’s licenses. The workers allegedly did this even if the individual presented a Green Card showing that they were not U.S. Citizens.

Under Nevada law, individuals can register to vote when they apply for a license or identification card. The DMV then takes the voter registration information and passes it off to the county elections department for processing, AP noted.

“This is emblematic of what I’ve been warning about for years,” Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the Public Interest Legal Foundation, an election integrity group, told the Washington Free Beacon. "States should not follow California and Oregon’s model of automatic voter registration for every person going to the DMV when the DMV is registering ineligible voters “because the rules tell them to serve everyone.”

“Put plain, every DMV customer is being offered voter registration opportunities, even when said customers document with green cards, etc. that they aren’t eligible for voter registration. Nevada SOS warns that not only are noncitizens landing on voter rolls, but they voted in 2016, too,” Churchwell said.

Churchwell added that liberal groups funded by liberal billionaire George Soros are working to “handcuff election officials” from cleaning up voter rolls in a number of states.

“Leftist groups funded by Soros & Co. are now working to handcuff election officials from removing or even questioning voter records that aren’t dead or relocated leaving noncitizens, felons, and fakes free to be. This showdown is the fruit of their handiwork. This is also an example of how county voter files get ridiculously bloated.”

Demos, a Soros-funded liberal advocacy group located in New York City, has intervened in three states where the Public Interest Legal Foundation has filed lawsuits against counties over their unusual voter rolls. Elizabeth Warren’s daughter chairs the board of directors at Demos.

They used an unverified document to get a FISA warrant to perform surveillance on Trump Campaign Team members, LOL. I’m not even sure this was legal evidence for a FISA warrant to begin with.

Nevermind, I found this … The bar for obtaining a FISA order is fairly low. So this is their evidence? LMAO

http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/18/politics/fbi-dossier-carter-page-donald-trump-russia-investigation/

Comey’s briefings to lawmakers stand in contrast to efforts in recent months by the bureau and US intelligence agencies to try to distance themselves from the dossier.
US law enforcement and intelligence officials have said US investigators did their own work, separate from the dossier, to support their findings that Russia tried to meddle in the 2016 presidential election in favor of Trump.

Comey hasn’t mentioned the dossier in all his briefings to lawmakers, according to people familiar with the briefings. To some of them, he has emphasized that the FBI gathered evidence as part of its investigation to support seeking FISA court approval and to take other steps as part of the probe that began last July, according to the officials briefed of the probe.

I should add that Susan Rice started out denying the unmasking ever happened. Her story has changed remarkably since.

You also don’t have a posse waiting to (the) kick people in the teeth when they’re down.

You’ve taken your first step into a larger world.

Weird, I know. I think the difference is, possessed doesn’t go around masking jabs at people he doesn’t like, with semantics. I believe him to be genuine as well, so there’s that too.

Saw the new psychiatrist, finally. My doctor has an odd definition of “real nice guy.” He’s a little brittle and distant. I don’t necessarily mean that in an unpleasant, and being detached from emotions is part of his job, but it felt like I was in a movie or something; getting dry questions, having him write everything down. I know, I know, it takes multiple sessions. I was pretty disappointed not to be prescribed any new medications or dosage increases, but he did recommend some psychological. I’ll be honest, the experience wasn’t particularly pleasant or helpful, at least not yet. I know, I need to be patient, and hurting takes a long time to heal. I just wish I was a little better than I’d been before the appointment.

Part of healing is participating. It is a conscious effort to do so but it’s probably not something you’d do normally which can make it difficult to start. There are some good suggestions in this thread but you have to be vigilant if you want to get better. It can be hard work but I promise you, it’s worth every moment. I am proud and happy for you, that you’ve come this far, you can overcome.

I am rooting for you Mike.
