These are Snowflakes born bereft of a sense of irony:
Don’t call us snowflakes – it damages our mental health, say young people
Being called a “snowflake” is damaging to mental health, young people say. Figures show that the majority of young people think the term is unfair – and even more think it could have a negative effect of its own.
The “snowflake generation” is a disparaging term now commonly used to refer to young people, who are perceived to be over-sensitive and intolerant of disagreement.
But research by insurance firm Aviva found that 72 per cent of 16-24 year-olds think the term is unfairly applied, while 74 per cent think it could have a negative effect on young people’s mental health.
The figures also show that young people are more likely to have experienced stress, anxiety and depression in the last year.
Perhaps someone could start a Gofundme account to help cure this disease, Snowflakeitis. Please help now.
Kind of proves their status as Special Snowflakes.

Officials say the arrests stemmed from an investigation into Blood gang-related crimes throughout the area, particularly in Northern Virginia.
The ATF announced earlier Wednesday they were engaged in “ongoing law enforcement activity” from Woodbridge to Alexandria.

Top DOJ official demoted amid probe of contacts with Trump dossier firm
Until Wednesday morning, Bruce G. Ohr held two titles at DOJ: associate deputy attorney general, a post that placed him four doors down from his boss, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein; and director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), a program described by the department as “the centerpiece of the attorney general’s drug strategy.”
Ohr will retain his OCDETF title but has been stripped of his higher post and ousted from his office on the fourth floor of “Main Justice.”
Initially senior department officials could not provide the reason for Ohr’s demotion, but Fox News has learned that evidence collected by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), chaired by Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., indicates that Ohr met during the 2016 campaign with Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the “dossier.”

It hasn’t been cleared in a lot longer than a “Couple” of years. It takes decades of underbrush growth to fuel the fires you are seeing in L.A right now. Remember, this is Southern California, even relatively lust area’s like the Los Angeles basin are still desert ecosystems.
Grass grows practically by the hour, but the scrub oak and Manzanita that covers our canyon hillsides do not. They actually grow quiet slowly. Those “Bushes” you see growing on the hillsides that are on fire, those are typically 10 to 15 feet tall and 20 to 25 feet in diameter. (They look soo much smaller than they actually are)
After a good fire burns through, it take 10 years or more before they grow back enough that they do not show very obvious signs of having been burnt. The last really big fire in L.A was in 2007, and you can be pretty certain that if any of the area’s now burning were burnt back then, they have not been cleared since then.
The area’s that are burning, yea, Greenweeine super Enviro-Nazi territory.

Ever have days when you feel like perhaps you’re not as smart as you thought you were? Even stupid maybe? Not to worry. No matter how stupid you think you might be, YOU WILL NEVER BE THIS STUPID
Of all the news I’ve read this scares me most. Obviously we are not not going to Olympics b/c of ‘North Korea threat.” We are not going because Russia is not going. If you understand chess of geopolitics, this means our executive is wholly owned by Russia.

I’m only getting about half of your e-mails as a guess. My Junk Box auto-dumps regularly and when on occasion I peer in it’s got one of your e-mails hovering in e-mail purgatory! Why some get through fine and others end up in the Junk is anybody’s guess. I keep digging them out of junk and rehabilitating them to my In-Box but my mail gremlins are nasty little bastards and won’t easily leave you be!

Yup. That was her
It’s snowing here, in Houston.
Snow!
WHAT??!!
this wasn’t the Saturday forecast 5 hrs ago

looks like 3-6 locally 8 25 miles either side I-95 DC to NYC to me as axis of heaviest snow should be quite close to those areas. Southern New England looks like a widespread 6-10 inch event. Moves fast but good set up for fast hitting thumper

U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras is one of a very few FISA Court Judges.
I found out yesterday around noon that they’d scheduled me for a second interview today at 9 for the Quality position I interviewed for a few weeks ago. Of course I’d requested PTO for the day so I’ll head across town for a phone or Skype interview and maybe an Excel test.
I know at least one other person is interviewing. She didn’t apply at first since they told her she couldn’t because she was in a training class- the same one I was in. I know where I am with Excel. She could be ahead of me or behind me. Don’t know her experience either.
Training for this project starts Monday.
@ right_wing2:
well good luck!
dang
looked at the natl weather
massive weather systems both to the north and south

@ right_wing2:
a 2nd interview! great news, good luck

The problem with that theory is: then why didn’t Contreras recuse himself in the beginning? Why wait until the sentencing phase? someone suggested last nite when I asked that maybe Flynn’s lawyers never knew about his FISA position until now but I find that untenable. If you’ve ever been involved in a legal case, you know that lawyers make it their business to know everything they can about the judge trying the case.

My understanding is she’s a bottom-rung Olympic qualifier. And frankly, it appears EVERYONE is rooting for her to fail, big-time. USIOC should consider putting in the alternate.

I THINK the interview went well. It’s always hard to tell, especially on a phone interview. They’re supposed to let us know later today.
And in the world of weird things, my iPhone will randomly change ‘voices’ for Siri from female to male. It hasn’t started changing to a British or Australian accent yet, but maybe that’ll be next.

You know I’d almost love it if she won the Gold and Trump invited everyone from the Olympic Team who medaled EXCEPT her to the White House. Then when she complains….

That is a bullshit headline. She admitted to no such thing. She said she added the date and location notation. As far as I’m concerned that’s beside the point. The point is – what prompted her to call a presser about this now?
I’ve been running around all day but what I’ve managed to catch
CNN said that someone offered the Trump campaign access to hacked DNC stuff on wiki that was unpublished and gave them the decrypt key
Assange called bullshit and laid down a $100k marker
At 1 pm WaPo publishes that the wiki data offered to the campaign had been published the day before – nothing unpublished involved
David Gregory, aka “CNN’s resident gibbon’ apparently declared that this is the evidence that will point to the nexus of collusion but as of 1:10 pm, they’ve shut up about it and no retraction yet
It’s a good thing I stopped drinking cuz I don’t think there’s enough booze to get me thru all this
