It's not even the quiet part out loud anymore. It's just out in the open now. What a collosal moving feast of war crimes and violations of the Constitution from this administration the worst in American history unless my memory is drawing a complete blank.

I like the Loop earplugs; I use the Experience 2 for concerts/live music. They also have some for sleeping. They stay in, and if you get a magnetic lanyard (theirs or aftermarket), they also stay around your neck when you want to take them out for a while. I used to use Etymotics, but I lost those in Nashville and had to change to something less easy to lose!

Yes, Bernard, I agree. He lacks a viable plan to exit, can't control the fact the war is escalating, and has no viable plan to win, winning being something for which he lacks a definition. Yes, Ron, I agree. The machinations that led to him to start this illegal war cannot be undone. We have heard about the desire to wage an illegal war on Iran from both Netanyahu and American Neocons for the last forty years. It was always going to be a disaster.

Always enjoyed their stuff.

I think his he has dementia, and forms his decision making process on what he's told and what he wants to believe. I know he's the center of a cult of personality, but man, even the left doesn't get this screwed over after a Democratic presidential win.

I guess that means that they made the flamingo tongues?

I don’t know anything about seizures or their treatment, but I would imagine there many more options than in generations past, so that should be helpful as well. Best wishes that it is!!

OK, I took a dry leaf out of the jar and just bit a piece off directly, and chewed it a little. Definitely a camphor flavor. And bitter. FWIW, it is from Penzey’s, and they claim it is of high quality.

That’s what happened when I tried planting grocery store green pepper seeds The plants I got were very small with only one or two tiny peppers.

I apologize for my tangent. The topic is obviously the cabinet. I think there's "nobody home" in this government. The knowledgeable, capable people are in the Pentagon and intelligence. They have been ignored. Both houses of Congress are corrupt and useless. This isn't the Supreme Court's finest hour, either. I'd like to think that this administration is aberrant and there will be a return to some kind of normalcy but I don't know.
