I hope it was a fun laugh. I am sure you looked closely to the edge...😆 I give you a lot of credit for flying with twins. 🫡

I think i kinda get it, but Navalny was the one with the suddenly toxic underwear.

I think youth gives you a feeling of invincibility. But the older we get, the less we care if we're invincible or not 😁

Oh, I know. But I'll be surprised if Trump is incarcerated—behind bars. He should be if found guilty, but I just don't see it.

Almost. #Trump is a bioterrorist and mass murderer (covid), in addition to his other charged crimes. After his conviction, he should be sent to Guantanamo where he will be safe and there won't be any demonstrations outside the facility to cope with.

It was wild. I kept thinking we were being pranked.

On the way back there was a massive snowstorm in DC. We were stuck there for the night

However, I was able to flip off Dubya and he saw me. So everything was worth it

Yes. And people tend to avoid that pain.

There's a book by philosopher Paul Watzlawick on the matter: "The Situation is Hopeless, But Not Serious: The Pursuit of Unhappiness"

One way to become unhappy is: The same, but more of it"

I do not agree with Constructivism as a philosophy, but this book is brilliant. Funny, and full of insight.

Mark Twain had a similar idea expressed in a 'space opera' story.

Pol Pot was responsible for the deaths of 2 million+ Cambodians, and got house arrest. 🤷‍♂️

Yep, actually said that to me. I was a defiant little shit. I almost walked out. But my Mom stopped me 😂

I'm glad you can laugh about it now. 😁

There was a panel in the bathroom to the cargo hold knocked out. So, they arrested everyone on the plane.

Turned out someone on the cleaning crew accidentally forgot to put it back. Was a hassle. We lost our hotel reservation.

I smoked at the time. I asked one of the cops, "so what would you do if I just left to have a smoke?" He said, very matter of factly, "shoot you."

Awe! That's TERRIBLE! I'm so sorry. I would have been sobbing.

The only thing I have that's close to that, personally, was in January 2005, the plane I was on, from Chicago to DC, with my Mom and sister to go to the protest of Dubya's inauguration, was arrested. We were first kept on the runway for hours while the Chicago police, TSA and FBI were on and off the plane. Then we were kept at the gate, guarded by Chicago cops and K9 units for a few more hours.

nostr:npub1eeujhtd8lgaqey3jrw20mr0d90z0l635d4efltghe7qdc0fcurnqr7u43z I sobbed so hard! Now, it's funny.🤣 And, what do you mean? The whole plane was arrested?
