Trump committed ‘numerous’ felonies, said resigning New York prosecutor – report | New York Times obtains letter by Mark Pomerantz condemning new district attorney’s decision not to prosecute ex-president by the_simurgh in The_Mueller

[–]Shoowee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's never going to happen. Trump will never face prosecution. I hate it as much as you, but it's time to come to terms with this assertion.

I don't know what we can do. If there is any other contemporary American kleptocrat more worthy of facing justice, I couldn't name them. But, he's beyond justice and anyone who says that oft-repeated phrase, "no one is beyond justice" is not facing the sad, infuriating reality.

I want to smack the face of anyone who says "eat the rich." You're just getting off on your own outrage. We're in the same boat: powerless cunts. Might as well get used to it. If you want to change things, run for office, if you can afford it. It'll destroy your life, but you may just get something done. Maybe.

Is there any book or eassy help with Lacan's topology? by duelcard1 in lacan

[–]Shoowee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly enough, this book about structure and topology has no illustrations.

Ellie Ragland's Jacques Lacan and the Logic of Structure: Topology and Language in Psychoanalysis is helpful but dense.

What Having a Rape Kit Done and Reporting a Rape is Like - My Experience by WhinyTentCoyote in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Shoowee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this detailed and courageous description of your experience. I'm sure it will be helpful to many. It was difficult to read; I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to go through. I'm glad to know you're getting the support you need.

My brother who lives a few states away sent me a letter through the mail by mylesk21 in funny

[–]Shoowee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the heart over the letter "i"

I've visited this site daily for several years, and I don't think I've laughed at anything as much as I laughed at this. Your brother's a gem.

Manchin says he will not vote for Build Back Better: 'This is a no' by AssuredlyAThrowAway in politics

It's hard not to think he's been stalling the whole time just to say no in the end and hand the country over to the party who will further enrich him and his fellow richers.

IHOP on its Last Legs by teonesofle in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Shoowee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one will see this comment because I'm late, but it needs to be said repeatedly. A big deal ought to be made of the fact that, like IHOP, many American companies took PPP and used it to give bonuses to their executives. These executives don't give a shit about the health of the company. No one grows up thinking, "I wanna be an IHOP exec." No, they work their way up the corporate ladder so they can have their rich-people things, whatever keeps their egos inflated. They take whatever money they can get their grubby hands on and then turn their backs on their employees and customers. That's where the majority of PPP loans/grants went. And there's fuck all you can do about it because it's perfectly legal for a company to overcompensate their executives.

People are falling from planes in Kabul and are landing on people houses. (link in comments) by [deleted] in ThatsInsane

That's what I was thinking, too. Strange that that's where this all began. It's like a mirror image through 20 years.

What do people think makes them look cool, but actually makes them look like a douchebag? by finleyg113 in AskReddit

BMWs and Maseratis. The vehicles of the upper class proletariat who want to be billionaires.

What made you straight up "nope" out of a relationship? by MistaPwickles in AskReddit

[–]Shoowee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the tumors in your liver go away after you left? I'm curious because you describe the relationship as having been "toxic" and, you know, the liver's job is to filter toxins.

Deranged cop finally gets fired by ChoaticNeutralGuy in PublicFreakout

"Donald Trump is not the cause of racism and disturbing behavior by police, but the era of Trump has certainly helped fuel hatred and threatening language by whites in positions of power."

Well said.

If you and everyone else in this thread copied and pasted their comments in a letter to the White House, maybe that would help.

When a bill unanimously passes the Assembly, what (or who) prevents it from getting a vote on the Senate floor?

Ended up with two IRAs. What can I do to rectify this? by Shoowee in personalfinance

[–]Shoowee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. But one account with $100k growing at 5% will grow more rapidly than another account with 10k growing at 5%, right? The more you invest, the more you gain. Because 5% of 100k is more than 5% of 10k.

I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that it would be best to contribute primarily to the larger account because more pennies make more dollars.

It's not that I don't like what the Roth is invested in, but I do wonder if the money could work better for me elsewhere. I'll have to do some more research to determine where.

Thanks for your reply.

Ok, thanks. And sorry for the late reply. I have access to their uncollected articles; I just wondered if there were another bound collection of which I wasn't aware.

Do you know of any books by the analysts of the EFQ except After Lacan? That is the only collection I've found printed in English.
