t would be useful. It would change the votes. I think people would say oh that's me at that lunch. I have exactly those questions and I wish that was me but oh the person who is there asked my question. So you would totally pull yourself into the lunch. You would be one of the people at the table and that to me would be a whole new model of news. So debates are stupid and press interviews are stup…

bmission? It might but here's the thing I worry about. What would stop that? Because none of it looks real to me in terms of a regular person would not be prosecuted for this sort of stuff. I feel like the Republicans need some kind of mutually assured destruction and the mutually assured destruction should be in the same domain meaning lawfare. And I think what they need to do is say all right if you lawfare Trump here are the three leaders in the Democrat Party that are going to have non-stop legal cases against them through and ideally you should all be legal right. I'm not talking about doing anything illegal in response but the same way it's legal for them to do infinite lawfare that would not be done for another candidate or another person another citizen why can't Republicans do the same thing but hold it as a threat not necessarily as something that's executed on moment one but rather they should say if you're going to lawfare Trump out of office or if you're going to lawfare him after office we're going to put a billion dollars into destroying the lives of whoever is behind it because you can't do that and get away with it.

I don't think we can have a society where one side can get a billionaire to fund their infinite lawsuits against one candidate they don't want to run for office. I can't live in that country. I need that billionaire to be lawfared out of office or out of the public life. So there needs to be some massive really well-funded, you know like a billion dollars that says we're not going to operate if everything's going fine. You know we're not an attack dog. We're simply NATO. We're not an offensive operation. We're like a legal NATO. If you lawfare one of our team we're going to put a billion dollars into burying you. But if it's just lawfare I mean if somebody actually broke the law then the legal system needs to handle that but if it's clearly lawfare we're going to put a billion dollars into ruining you specifically for being behind it. Anything short of that and we lose everything because this whole lawfare thing is so out of control it seems to be the dominant way the government is being run by lawyers right and we don't trust the legal system because you just pick your venue and you know what the answer is going to be. So I'd say a billion dollars of legal NATO like defensive force for Republicans would be necessary for the health of the republic but don't use it offensively. That would be my recommendation.

Well the American Society of Plastic Surgeons of which almost all plasti

In other words doing surgery to change their physical bodies to match their preferred identity. Now I've largely stayed down on this topic because it's getting enough attention and I just don't have anything special to add. I mean the only thing I have to add is don't do stuff to…
