I'm not aware of the total picture, but I assume we are in a Catch-22 revolving door where these unlawful "police" activities at the federal level can only be investigated by themselves and/or the Trump "Justice" Dept.
After all, the Attorney General has signed off on a $400 Million bribe from a foreign government!

Hi guys. Um, please don't ever make the "owner" email of your domain an address *on* that domain, because if it ever expires you won't be able to get emails to renew/fix it because it will be expired.
Yes. Look. It's obvious, but clearly it *happens* or I wouldn't be writing this and watching my work email all evening. (I didn't do it. But it Was Done.)
Be safe out there admins 
The only sane response to an insane world is to be insane yourself.
Thats life in the second quarter of the 21st century of the common era for you. War, genocide, neo-liberal / late stage capitalism, mass extinction, global heating, climate catastrophes, fascists, bigots... The list goes on and on.
If that doesn't make you depressed and anxious there is something wrong in your head.
Ah, maar daar zit ook een ander probleem. Wij zijn zo'n systeem aan het maken, maar om het zo goed te maken als Bert voorstelt (en ik zeg niet dat hij daar ongelijk in heeft) dat kost tientallen miljoenen (als je het ook nog snel wilt doen).
Die miljoenen krijg je niet zomaar, sterker nog, als je een product hebt (bedacht) waarmee je die wel kunt krijgen is het waarschijnlijk veel makkelijker om naar de USA te gaan om het daar gefinanciert te krijgen. #catch22

Donald Trump grins at text which reads,
“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”
A passage from the novel Catch 22.
@User47 The drug I'm thinking about is expensive and prescribed and has been proven to have long term health benefits for people who take it. A generic is available, but they won't cover that either.
The trouble is, health insurance companies don't want to pay for long-term benefits because they don't see their customers sticking with them.
Of course, if they provided better coverage, we'd be more likely to stick with them.
#Catch22… (1/3)
" ... the chaplain was ready now to capitulate to despair entirely but was restrained by the memory of his wife, whom he loved and missed so pathetically with such sensual and exalted ardor, and by the lifelong trust he had placed in the wisdom and justice of an immortal, omnipotent, omniscient, humane, universal, anthropomorphic, English-speaking, Anglo-Saxon, pro-American God, which had begun to waver.
So many things were testing his faith. There was the Bible, of course, but the Bible was a book, and so were Bleak House, Treasure Island, Ethan Frome and The Last of the Mohicans. Did it then seem probable, as he had once overheard Dunbar ask, that the answers to the riddles of creation would be supplied by people too ignorant to understand the mechanics of rainfall? Had Almighty God, in all His infinite wisdom, really been afraid that men six thousand years ago would succeed in building a tower to heaven? Where the devil was heaven? Was it up? Down? There was no up or down in a finite but expanding universe in which even the vast, burning, dazzling, majestic sun was in a state of progressive decay that would eventually destroy the earth too. There were no miracles; prayers went unanswered, and misfortune tramped with equal brutality on the virtuous and the corrupt; and the chaplain, who had conscience and character, would have yielded to reason and relinquished his belief in the God of his fathers—would truly have resigned both his calling and his commission and taken his chances as a private in the infantry or field artillery, ..."

NSF actually required investigators to highlight outreach to diverse audiences in their grant applications. ( #catch22 )
If you are camping to avoid the perceived dangers of shelters, what do you do when government officials send armed people to destroy + discard your last belongings, including ID?

Most nations won't allow you in if you're not #vaccinated.
So attempting to get vaccinated in another country is a #Catch22
The irony of Presidential Immunity is that what it empowers a President to do is revoke with extreme prejudice the immunity of any former President - while ensuring that he can't be effectively prosecuted for doing so, because Presidentially-ordered assassinations would be official acts, & no evidence of the President ordering them could be admitted.
This shit makes #Catch22 look straightforward & honest. We could be carbon neutral if we could hook up a generator to Joe Heller's grave.

I'm reading #Catch22 for the first time (no spoilers pls), and oh my God is it one of the most hilarious terribly, horrifyingly bleak books I've ever read.
DURING YESTERDAY'S #SCotUS HEARING as to whether the #Potus is #AboveTheLaw, Justice Jackson asked #DarthTraitor's lawyer that "If a president can't be prosecuted, what's to stop them from braking the law?"
Mr. Sauer said there were multiple other ways to respond, including "impeachment".
But one can only "impeach" a Potus for breaking the law ("High Crimes & Misdemeanors".) So if the president is above the law, how does one #impeach a president for breaking the law? #Catch22 @ThomHartmann
What sort of absurdity by EE (Uk mobile phone provider):
The only way to enable roaming is to send a text from your phone number.
Sounds simple enough? Well, not when you are abroad and suddenly realise that roaming is turned off.
So I now need to send a text to turn on roaming, but I can’t send a text because roaming is off
