I do have Ryan Holiday's book The Daily Stoic. I find it immensely useful and I would recommend it to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Gallaway Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 17 hours ago, Steve Thomas said: Robert Costa @costareports An extraordinary moment in American history. A speaker of the House asks the chairman of the joint chiefs if the nuclear codes are safe because she fears the president is crazy and liable to make a deadly decision to stay in power. From Milley's testimony re: Jan. 8, 2021 call. https://twitter.com/costareports/status/1609924279818412034 Steve Thomas Yes, you beat me to the punch on this one,. Steve. I'm also having more problems copying from twitter lately. Pelosi: You know he's crazy, don't you? On Jan 8th, 2021, after the riots when it appeared Trump was not going peacefully and Pelosi phoned General Milley and as result Milley told all of his subordinates to not take a call from Trump. It's amazing to think that our system was so vulnerable that the Military could be used by Trump to overturn a legitimate election! But it's true, and there was only one person who had the foresight to make that call and though I personally don't think Trump would ultimately have gotten away with it, it would have been the most destabilizing period in U.S. history since the Civil War! To those Americans who would look at this period as a romp at the beach. I'll repeat what I think is an often needed phrase. This is real! This isn't a trial run! This is your life! To those abroad who think this couldn't happen because America is so exceptional. Well we've done a good job of snowing you. But think again! heh heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Thomas Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 [Andy] Biggs has led the anti-McCarthy faction along with Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), who chairs the House Freedom Caucus, plus Reps. Bob Good (R-Va.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) and Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.), all of whom belong to the caucus. WASHINGTON — Rep. Ralph Norman’s biggest regret about urging the Donald Trump White House to declare martial law so Trump could remain in office seems to be that he did so with bad spelling. The South Carolina Republican texted White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Jan. 17, 2021, that Trump should declare “Marshall Law” to prevent Joe Biden from taking office.
