I feel like the entire nation will need copies of this landmark trauma textbook once we are finished with this administration. Dr. Herman provides a thorough explanation and analysis of PTSD ranging from combat, dv, and political terror. The last category applies to everyone who is not MAGA.

If Biden fell asleep as often in the middle of the day at public meetings and events like Trump, Fox would have aired it nonstop day in and day out. But we know they won’t show Trump sleeping. But how much do the other networks show Trump falling asleep and why isn’t more often?

This investigation is at least an acknowledgement that vetting could stand to be improved.

A note to "Braintree" - Forget I exist. I know an attorney who has prevailed against your dept. After you had your hockey buddy threaten me the day after my birthday, I resented you. Also, I have more faith in a former sheriff to keep our city safe than someone like you who engages in mind games.
