Is this a follow-up to my observation about appointments potentially terminating well before Trump is even sworn in?

I think we landed on using negative mooches.

It was a bit fuzzy, but this is localadmin only, right?

Wouldn’t it be interesting if they were able to crater the entire operation before he even takes office?

What would that do to measuring in Scaramuccis, if his entire slate is fired months before he can officially hire them?

They both somehow fit the situation.

He’s run a good grift living on other people’s money.

I’ve got “Hotel California” and “San Francisco” battling it out in my head now.

Not really; he matches the description of one of the minor henchmen that precedes The Beast.

Any drawback doing too much stair climbing?

If you do it before running, your muscles can be over-stressed at the start of a run, increasing risk of impact injuries. So make sure to give yourself recovery time after stairs before you do a hard run again.

Done in this way, you can build up your support muscles which will actually decrease the risk of running injuries.

That’s what I do… my running route has flights of stairs in it.

That’s the question, isn’t it?

China and the US are unlikely to care right now.

It’s too bad the full extent of my bitterness can’t show through in my previous statement; that’s not the country I hoped to live in, but it seems to be the one I do live in.

That said, I’ve lived in provincial and federal Conservative ridings for the past 26 years. I have no illusions about my neighbours’ political leanings, or the infinitesimal influence my vote has.

If the NDP chose a new, outspoken leader who was a straight white male, they might have a chance.
