@PJ_Evans@Nonilex When I was a baby lawyer, a very wise mentor advised me, "Fight hard. See that your client receives passionate representation. But in the end, if someone is going to jail, make sure it's not you."
Because we all fzcking deserve to indulge in a little schaudenfreude, let's revisit some Donald Trump quotes from 2016, shall we?
“As you’ve heard, earlier today the FBI after discovering new emails is reopening their investigation into Hillary Clinton… The investigation is the biggest political scandal since Watergate and it’s everybody’s hope that justice at last can be delivered.” (10/28/2016)
“She’s likely to be under investigation for criminality for a very, very long time to come... We’re going to be tied up in court for the rest of our lives with this deal. She’s not going to win the election, but I’m just saying. If Hillary is elected, she will be under protracted criminal investigation likely followed by the trial of a sitting president. This is just what we need.” (10/31/2016)
“If Hillary Clinton were to be elected, it would create an unprecedented and protracted constitutional crisis. Haven’t we just been through a lot with the Clintons, right?” (11/02/2016)
“Hillary is likely to be under investigation for many years, probably concluding in a criminal trial.” (11/02/2016)
“She'll be under investigation for years. She'll be with trials. Our country, we have to get back to work.” (11/02/2016)
“Hillary has engaged in a criminal massive enterprise and cover-ups like probably nobody ever before.” (11/04/2016)
“There's virtually no doubt that FBI Director Comey and the great, great special agents of the FBI will be able to collect more than enough evidence to garner indictments against Hillary Clinton and her inner circle, despite her efforts to disparage them and to discredit them. If she were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial.” (11/05/2016)
“Her current scandals and controversies will continue throughout her presidency and we will make it honestly, look, it's gonna be virtually impossible for her to govern. Now, the Republicans have talked very tough and the Democrats. It's gonna be just another mess for another four years, folks. A mess. We've got to get back to work, right? I mean, we have to get back to work.” (11/05/2016)
“First thing you should do is get rid of Clinton. Hillary Clinton will be under investigation for a long, long time for her many crimes against our nation, our people, our democracy, likely concluding in a criminal trial.” (11/06/2016)
“The investigations into her crimes will go on for a long, long time. The rank and file special agents at the FBI won't let her get away with these terrible crimes, including the deletion of 33,000 emails after receiving a congressional subpoena. Right now, she's being protected by a rigged system.” (11/06/2016)

Delhi temperature hits 50.5C as India’s capital records hottest day
"Authorities warn of water shortages as temperatures reach nine degrees higher than expected...
At the SMS hospital in Rajasthan’s capital, Jaipur, so many bodies of casualties of the heat have arrived at the mortuary that its capacity has been exceeded. Police in the city say many of the victims are poor labourers, who have no choice but to work outside, and homeless people."
I'm gonna share some completely anticlimactic TMI for the benefit of other middle-aged men:
The day before yesterday, I was very stressed and anxious for a variety of reasons, and we were moving some furniture out of a storage locker, and I was feeling lethargic and a little lightheaded and generally out of it, and then I began feeling nausea and indigestion and my jaw was tight and then my left arm and hand started feeling a little numb. Nothing terrible! Just: feeling meh, and those minor symptoms.
And then guess what crazy thing we did?
We went to the nearby emergency room.
Yep.
And they were very nice to me, and quickly administered an EKG and blood tests, and guess what?
I wasn't having a heart attack.
I was just stressed and tired and anxious. That's all.
But if I had been having a heart attack, going to the E.R. could have saved my life. And even though I wasn't, they were very nice to me. No one made fun of me. No one called me a whiner or a hypochondriac. My wife expressed gratitude that I took my survival seriously. And I was home again in less than two hours.
So this is for my fellow typical men, who are inclined to ignore health issues because: John Wayne or something, and fear of embarrassment:
Don't ignore stuff. Don't wait until you're sure. Be willing to overreact. Be willing to waste everyone's time. It's okay! The world won't end! (And you may even get to take a nap under a warm blanket, like I did!)
Thanks for all the supportive responses! And an important P.S.: during possible heart attacks, it's nearly always better to call and wait for an ambulance than drive (or be driven) to an E.R. Why? Because ambulances carry good drugs and defibrillators and can administer CPR and therefore keep your brain alive during the drive to the hospital. I probably should have done that, too.
@GottaLaff Oh, and hey, since it's not a court day, and so you know I'm not just "in the moment", thank you again so much for the live-posted multi-stream work you've been doing.
I know you mostly can't do it on Tuesday. I mourn your absence at the same time I celebrate the actual day of the move!
I hope it all goes smoothly, and that you find the right house when you get there.
