I have no idea how someone can look at children with anything other than awe and respect.
They are supposed to be the end result of parents who have endured the pain and suffering of this world to bring forth what can only be described as the next step in our progress towards a better tomorrow. Its a whole "Be Better" thing. Or taken one step further, and stealing Melania Trumps words, "Be Best".
If anyone sees that in a sexual context they have missed the big picture, whole point, what it means to be human.
Do we look at people like this with pity (being too stupid to understand humanity) or disgust? Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law.
Disgust it is, then.
But...
How does the legislative branch cause anything to happen without the cooperation of the executive branch?
The executive branch won't do anything. Proven track history.
So this is one of those "It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." kind of things that we have become conditioned to accept. Like all congressional inquiries and interrogations and interviews over the last 4 years. "Lets call the president of university X in front of us", "Lets call the CEO of company z in front of us", "lets call general Y in front of us"...
And... we accept it as some kind of action. Read that Shakespeare quote above one more time and let it sink in. Repeat until it sinks in.
Rock Band fist pump until... nothing ever happens.
I am not trying to be a Debbie Downer but how does one turn the words into action when the system is obviously broken?
We can circulate petitions until we are blue in the face and have 100 million signatures and still... nothing will happen.
We can file a class action lawsuit that will take years to litigate and millions of dollars to push through the "system" and... nothing will happen.
There seems to be a piece missing where an American citizen can make something happen. When did that disappear? Was it ever there?
The question in all of this appears to be, what can WE do?
I certainly don't have the answer. The only thing closely related to a Q answer would be class action lawsuits.
What would the crime be? We are mad at you for lying to us? That even sounds stupid. Would it be dereliction of duty? Intentional incompetence? Treason? I thought only congress can accuse someone of treason. And we are back at square one.
I debated posting this due to no answers and only questions. My XO on the submarine said never to go to the captain with a problem unless you have a solution. So, I have lots of problems with no solution at this point. This is where you ask the crew for insight.
For me it was like panning a really slow frame rate camera around the room. Kind of like the images from your eye were not travelling to the brain fast enough so you had some "drop out". Very disorienting but I finally figured it out. Don't be discouraged by that.

It's like lead that you kick up accidentally by walking through a dirt parking lot. It's everywhere and you can't avoid it. You inhale it. It's no one's fault.
Or core radiation, cosmic radiation slamming you all day every day. Thousands of ionization per second. Your body deals with it without you thinking about it. Your body has no worries but apparently this causes you great distress.
Trust your body. It doesn't worry, why should you?
Everyone that is not you is most likely lying to you. Worry about your family instead of what everyone is telling you to worry about. Time better spent , methinks
Didn't the FBI even say to do this years ago? Due to hackers (and school staff activating these in kids bedrooms)?
Electrical tape all around. I'd even put it on the front facing cameras on my phone/tablets. Unless you have kids and grandkids and do facetime or whatever. See, you let your guard down and now the govm't owns you. FML.
I'd be more concerned that what is happening in France with migrants that do not speak French are parading around in police uniforms to quell riots against immigrants will happen here. Basically the immigrants are attacking French citizens using government issued equipment. The government is waging war against its own citizens at that point.
If you took the oath, will you honor it when this happens here with 20 million illegal immigrants parading around as police or military come into your neighborhood? That's a hard call and I bet they are counting on that.
Quien estar Quien?
God wants all of his children to be with him.
He has a bus chartered for you to go to his home.
There is a ticket with your name on it. It's already paid for and signed for by Jesus Christ with his own blood.
Will you pick up the ticket? The path to the ticket booth twists and turns and has many diversions. There is a book that shows the way.
Will you claim the paid for ticket?
Choices, choices...
I always heard iodine is one of the principal elements used by the thyroid. I only know about this due to being a once upon a time radiation worker. Iodine can be easily irradiated and they hand the iodine pills out like candy in areas where a radiation accident has occurred. Apparently it concentrates in the thyroid. Don't want it irradiated.
If that is NOT the case consider this. Low fat/low sodium diets limit the intake if iodized salt, something done since WWI or WWII if memory serves. It boosts thyroid activity, I think. The drug you listed is for hypo thyroidism. Low functionality, not hyper thyroidism.
The iodized salt is not naturally occurring but so many chefs say to use sea salt or some other natural salt. They may be doing individuals a disservice. Iodine is not bad for your health, in other words.
I read someone post drawing a one square inch box on their leg and swabbing iodine on it. If your body needs it, it will absorb it. If not, no harm, no foul. Might be worth a try.
Now the world knows how to down an American drone simply and cheaply. No missiles needed.
I don't think the MIT PHD design engineer ever thought hosing down the drone with jet fuel was a viable attack strategy.
I noticed the jet didn't just settle down in front of the drone and just throw up a cloud of fuel in front of it. Too much risk of creating a fuel air bomb using the drone as an ignition source. Very smart. Also, if it did what they planned it to do, overspeed the turboprop engine, the drone would end up in the back seat of the fighter. Very smart again.
There was a time they said they lost video for 30 seconds or something. The turbine engine probably over sped due to a massive increase in fuel in the combustion chamber and circuit breakers started tripping and safety shut offs kicked in. So, either the turbine would start throwing ceramic metal blades through the engine casing or... it would severely over torque the propeller, bending and throwing blades there.
No fighter pilot in their right mind would risk their aircraft or themselves rubbing against a high speed turboprop with the aircraft belly. I think the unlikely scenario of dousing the drone with fuel caused an overspeed condition that destroyed the propeller.
They did this over water. More and larger parts to recover vs scattered across a few miles of dirt and be about the size of a pinky fingernail. I also wonder if the same engineer that designed the drone designed the self destruct, if it has one. Why would you need to waterproof the detonator, its an aircraft not a submarine. So, critical components are probably intact.
The Russian officer that came up with this attack strategy is going to get a medal. This was not amateurish or unprofessional pilot behavior. I think someone carefully thought this all out and implemented it to snag a drone.
Does that mean we can call all democrats unconvicted felons?
It sounds catchy as hell.
