Manuel #Hagel: "Im Wahlkampf haben zuletzt nicht Inhalte, sondern andere Themen eine Rolle gespielt - zum Teil mit Angriffen weit unter der Gürtellinie .."

Ähh.. DOCH, GENAU UM DIE INHALTE GING ES.

Wer Grundprinzipien der Physik als zukünftiger Entscheidungsträger nicht verstehen WILL, der hat in einem solchen Amt nichts zu suchen.
Das ist quasi #Selbstverteidigung der Wähler.

Es wurde kein "Klimahammer" oder "RehbrauneAugenHammer" irgendwo kolportiert.

Was called out by dash(1) man:

Aliases provide a convenient way for naive users to create shorthands for commands without having to learn how to create functions with arguments. They can also be used to create lexically obscure code. This use is discouraged.

GetOverIt should be a rally cry for Independents and democrats and even Republicans in the next election cycle

GOP can GetOverIt when they lose congress.

Seriously, I don’t get what the fuss is about. Anyone who has sat in an informal setting & talked with someone who is in their 80s cannot be surprised. Even when I recall personal experiences from 8, 9, 10 years ago, I have to orient events in the chronology.

Try talking to my 82 year old mother —who is sharp & capable & fit — it’ll take her an hour of meanderings about people events etc. It’s the product of a long & eventful life.

I'm coming to the conclusion that it's safest for the 96% of the world population to temporarily just ignore the 4% with that rogue administration. I mean, let's get over it.

Happy Sunday to all my fellow reprobates. Enjoy whatever you have planned.

Nice walk here soon, followed by the obligatory coffee from a gorgeous coffee shop we have nearby & then I best get my car cleaned in & out.

As you can tell I’m real hardcore here & I amaze myself with the crazy shinnanigans I get up too !

On National “Get Over It” Day, you might be tempted to push yourself to get over your grief.

Don’t do that.

Societal expectations pressure us to return to normal ASAP, but it’s not realistic or helpful. Grief is, unfortunately, a journey with no finish line. You don’t get to “end” grief.

Does the death of a loved one continue to impact you for the rest of your life? Yes.

Does it help for you to pretend you’re “better,” ignoring your emotions and refusing further help and support? No.

Are there ways to make life livable again, despite continuing to feel the pain and loss? Yes.

If you’re grieving a loss and someone tells you (or even implies) that you should get over it, assume it’s meant with good intentions (they don’t want to see you suffering). Then take that sentiment and drop it in the trash. It’s not a healthy mindset.

Continue to grieve. Learn to live beside your loss.

Freedom of speech means Scott Adams can spout racist hateful shit if he wants. Free markets and a caplitalist system means that news media outlets are free to chose who they pay to provide content for their publications. They don’t have to buy a product from a person or company that expresses beliefs or opinions they or their consumers find offensive. That’s just how it works. #dilbert #scottadams #freespeech #getoverit

Honestly: all the fucking WHINING from Niners fans about the results of their O-line's inability to protect their QB…

#GetOverIt

@KarenWyld the dreaded phrasei get #getoverit ugh it just doesn't stop

If #QuoteTweets were only allowed if you had under 100 followers then maybe I'd support them.

Trevor's Axiom still would apply, but would be far more muted.

Until then, #getoverit

@malwaretech @dalfen Exactly! I don’t understand why some people believe that they can pressure a privately owned company into doing anything at all. Twitter will never be the same place it was. Everyone needs to accept it and move on. It isn’t the first platform to be relegated to the trash bin. Just a short (incomplete) list: MySpace, Yahoo 360, Google+, and Open Diary. #twitterisdead #GetOverIt

I just saw some dude on the train I wouldn't sleep with 30 years ago, just looked up & there he was. Awkward, he's clearly still upset, 30 f*#&ing years! #getoverit

#OTD in 1995 #MarionShepilovBarry Returned To #TakeTheOath for his 4th Term As #MayorMarionBarry of #WashingtonDC . The caustic & charismatic former 60's & 70's #CivilRights leader had lost much of his sheen and the mayor gig he'd held since 1978 a few years earlier, due to having "violated the public trust" and serve a #FederalPrison sentence after being videotaped smoking #CrackCocaine in a hotel room #StingOperation set up by federal agents.

When Marion Barry left prison in 1992, he was met by six church busloads of supporters who prayed for him and cheered him on, and the seasoned slickster quickly re-ascended DC's political ladders and Barry's supporters unfurled the reassuring #CivicMinded #CampaignSlogan "He May Not Be Perfect, But He's Perfect for D.C."

As Barry ran for his fourth term for mayor, it shocked outside observers and when his critics brought up his past felonious failings, they were told "#GetOverIt ". Union Temple Baptist #MegaChurch Reverend Willie Wilson who helped organize the #MillionManMarch on Washington during Barry's 4th mayoral term said of him ″People are often stigmatized because of transgressions they may have committed and many times observers don’t realize that a human being is an imperfect thing, #MarionBarry, while not being perfect, has many good qualities that can be used to the benefit of the #community.″

Barry's #triumphant #SecondHoneymoon #VictoryCelebration was short lived, as the city, which had been plagued by #corruption scandals, and led the nation in homicides under his last two admittedly #DrugAddled terms as #Mayor, was now amidst a spiraling 90's #BudgetCrisis, and over a billion in debt since he'd last held the reigns of power. Barry's first accomplishment was to float a bond and get #WallStreet to lend the city $250 million to keep the empty city coffers paying bills.

Newt Gingrich's #GOPControlledCongress soon stripped #theChocolateCity of its symbolic vote on the house floor, and the #ClintonAdministration assumed control of the city's operations, hiring, firing, #debt payment liabilities and day to day spending, leaving the former #HomeRule champion mayor #stripped of all authority other than #performative #oversight of of #ParksandRecreation, #publiclibraries , #DCTourism board and mostly #CeremonialDuties.

Barry declined to run again in 1998, but stayed active in #Ward8 #Soufeast #DistrictPolitics serving as an #outspoken, #controversial #CityCouncil member oft hounded by petty political squabbles, #PressScandals and #TaxTroubles for much of #TheNineLivesOfMarionBarry until his death in 2014.

To see a multimedia slideshow and better understand his enduring appeal as #MayorForLife to many citizens of DC, and how he arose from poverty to join #SNCC and emerge from the civil rights struggles in the 1960s to an indefatigable #PoliticalPower broker in the nation's capital , visit this link : https://artsandculture.google.com/story/marion-barry-mayor-for-life-dc-public-library/wwURqe0pMAhWFw?hl=en
