This is a well written article that delves into the industry around politician penned books. Interesting and ridiculous. Thanks for sharing op!

One step closer to bankruptcy for the rnc. Here's hoping!

In another thread someone mentioned the pipedream of the rnc going bankrupt to pay his legal bills. I haven't stopped thinking about it. That would be so glorious.

I really wanna see his hair wet. I wonder how long those whispy little strands really are. I bet they're like a foot long, all coming from the one random spot on his bloated head that still grows hair with any structural integrity, the rest being brittle and unable to hold any shape, even with a whole bottle of hairspray applied. Disgusting. I'm mad at myself for making myself think this thought lol hence why I am now cursing all of you.

Libraries are legitimately one of the best things about modern society. I worked at one during college and it was amazing. Go support your local library everyone! Librarians are master researchers, they are like untapped oracles.

Everyone, please, keep your dogs leashed. Keeps them safe, keeps you safe, and keeps other hikers safe. Never let a dog off leash while hiking. You're asking for trouble.

Senior citizens being the outright meanest demographic. Not by frequency, but by intensity. The amount of stubbornness, entitlement, and just absolute resentment for everything around them shocks me. The way they react to things not going exactly how they think they should go is astounding. Don't get me wrong, the majority of them are pleasant and wonderful. But when an old person is mean, it's on its own level. I'd say middle aged people are more likely to be difficult, but they never even come close to the tantrums that seniors will throw. Part of this could be chalked up to mental decline, but the main part is entitlement. Plenty of people experience mental decline, and dont become vitriolic assholes. They truly think they're special and should get whatever they want at all times. Its exhausting explaining to an adult why I can't do something for them that our organization is literally unable to do.

Agreed. I understand the flippancy with him in particular, but prisons should not be a place where your life is in danger. Think of the other inmates, not just him. There are lots of inmates who can be reformed, but living in an environment that is so dangerous makes that much less likely. Sucks all around.

They all lie on the stand. Such cowards. They feel no remorse at all. I don't believe they are sorry for a second.

Sucks. We had lots of fun there when it first started. But I've deleted my account now. It's hilarious to watch Jake try and make an empire. What a loser.

You should be proud of yourself. Thanks for being here, we need perspectives like yours to help us remain empathetic.

This is a bad take to me. Them having a surplus of money is good. We want them to be operating as strongly as possible. Is it shitty to use an appeal to emotion like that? Absolutely. However, that shouldn't mean we all stop donating to them. For some people, the shitty appeal to emotion doesn't outweigh the importance of what wikipedia provides. Don't donate if you don't have it, but if someone still sees the value in what they do and it is easy for them to donate then they should do so. Personally, I put my money elsewhere, but discouraging people from donating at all is a weird stance to take.
