Get well soon. And my heart sank a bit when you wrote something like “it wasn’t a good time to be away” because of the news in the middle east. No job is more important to self-care and I am not even talking about this related to your accident and your immediate needs of self and family care. Your time away matters more than the outside news cycles

She’s using what’s called a non-exclusive or.

ETA: a similar example – “It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious”, said Mitt Romney, anticipating his charity boxing match with Evander Holyfield. Something Mitt did right BTW.

David, so sorry to hear about the traumatic accidents you’ve had to endure as a parent and as a victim. Relieved that you both are recovering and will be okay in, hopefully, the very near future. Please take care of yourself. The TPM staff will continue to do a great job providing the news, but I’m happy to see you back even on a temporary basis. You and your son come first.
Take care.

I peg his odds at reelection at better than 50%. The power of a cult can be immense and far-reaching. The Trump cult is deep and wide. More deep and wide than the Left wants to ponder or admit.

Buckle up.

The pastor who was harassing Ruby Freeman. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

The sailing accident sounds terrifying. I’m so sorry y’all are dealing with injuries and hope your recovery is uneventful. It sounds like your family has more than its fair share of injury and trauma over the last few months.

Take the time you need. All the mess will still be here when you check back in. And if it’s not, well, let’s all have a helluva party and break out any champagne we haven’t guzzled in despair over the last few years.

Have we gotten to the point where no bad act is punished unless it’s a prosecutable crime? I never believed that “sex trafficking a minor” would stick on Gaetz given the facts of the case (the minor set up a web profile asking to be trafficked and lied about her age), but shouldn’t the extreme “eeewwwww” factor about his actions have led to Gaetz’s expulsion from the House anyway? And if Menendez doesn’t meet the insane legal standard that the SC has established for corruption, will our press then call him “vindicated”? Trump/ Mueller all over again–can’t be legally prosecuted= innocent? Something has gone very wrong and our obsessive focus on the law seems to have become part of the problem.

The GOP crazy will continue to with their crazy and ignore that they have an actual job of which they are failing the people of the US.

Thank you for sharing David, my heart goes out to you and your family. As a parent I can’t imagine the additional grief of watching your son go through so much pain & trauma & in such a condensed period of time. Please take care of yourself & your son, the bat-shittery will still be here when you’re ready. :heart:

Why can’t he be both? I’ve heard that Navy Seals can multi-task.

Hannah Arendt might have agreed. On the other hand, arguing with the likes of him using logic is a fool’s errand. Better just laugh instead.

Christamitey, David! Heal up fast and take care of yourself and your family. I have to admit though, that my first thought was that it was some rogue participant from a Trump boat parade “wot did it!”

Get well!
