How well this post has aged.

It is not that I am a wise man, I am just a curmudgeon behind a keyboard, the problem is you who believe in politicians.
It is so easy... but at the same time so difficult... it is called human stupidity, I am also stupid in many areas of my life, but not in politics, be stupid, you have the right to be stupid, but try not to be stupid in such obvious things, because if not you look much more stupid than you are, or maybe you are more stupid than you think.
Fucking life.
It's literally been 24hrs. Like on the dot.. and the man has had to sleep. Ross is important to us but he's not a big deal as a national priority.
Maybe we can give it more than 16 waking hours before we call it a disappointment.
🤷‍♂️
I’d tend to agree on being patient with the exception of releasing Ross Ulbricht. Unless Ross has been notified that it is in process and given some guarantee, it feels cruel. To a person in prison I’d imagine he’s heard all sorts of hopeful things that didn’t pan out. So even that assurance likely brings anxiety. Don’t tell someone imprisoned “Day One” unless you mean it. Words matter. If he didn’t mean “day one” then he should have said “in the first week”. Maybe Ross isn’t a “national priority”, but not making good your word casts doubt on anything to follow.
With regard to the rest… Don’t trust a politician.
