#nuclear secrets stored next to the toilet

[tomorrowusa]

Just prior to the start of Putin's three-day special operation in February of 2022 Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed "stable genius" referred to Vladimir Putin as a "savvy genius". I think this is Day 526 of that three-day special operation.

Vapid bullying authoritarians only hire or appoint groveling sycophants, so there's nobody around to give them a heads-up on their galloping stupidity.

Remarkably, Trump got caught trying to cover up his cover up regarding the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. 😆

Trump's ketchup-stained fingerprints of stupidity are all over his administration. Here's another example...

"Incandescently stupid": Former DHS official says he had to "dumb" down classified memos for Trump

We'll likely be hearing many more examples in the upcoming trials.

Clarke vs. The Hot Customer

Meanwhile in DC, CIA Agent Lexa Woods and NSA Agent Anya Forrest sit across the desk with Homeland Security General Indra Beckman.  

Beckman starts, “Last night at 18:00, CIA operative Costia Daniels was killed in action. Before her death, she sent the entire Intersect Project to a civilian, a top-secret mission known only among those with the highest clearance in the CIA. The project consisted of every CIA mission and intel since the CIA’s founding in 1947. All contained in a supercomputer. The goal was for the intel to be downloaded into the human brain. While it has yet to be tested, it would give the agency’s top agents every piece of information necessary to complete their missions, without having to read every file, look through every photo, and analyze every document. This project is now in the inbox of one Clarke Griffin. As I’m sure you can guess, this is not ideal. The recipient’s unsecured g-mail means that every terrorist and their mother can track who it went to. And they will go after them without hesitation in order to get their hands on our intelligence.”

“Why did she send it to a civilian instead of a CIA contact?” Anya asks.

“We don’t know. As far as we can tell, she’s just some random college dropout. She works at a Buy-More. Your job is to find Clarke Griffin, find out what she knows, and download the e-mail yourselves so our nation’s secrets are not floating around in the head of some idiot civilian.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clarke wakes up on her bedroom floor to the blaring alarm on her nightstand. She’s groggy, and doesn’t quite remember why she apparently passed out on the floor instead of changing into pajamas and climbing into her bed.

Slowly, the memories of last night trickle in. She remembers a hot pocket, going to her room to play video games, and… an e-mail from Costia? That can’t be right. They haven’t spoken in years… But she distinctly remembers getting an e-mail from her, then a bunch of weird pictures, and that’s it.

She goes over to her computer to try and reread the email, but the thing won’t turn on. It seems to be fried from the inside. “Great, so not only did Costia ruin my life, she sent me a computer virus that destroyed my computer?” Clarke wonders.

Clarke’s still a little woozy from the unending strobe light of incomprehensible images her brain was exposed to the night before, so she skips breakfast, and thanks her past self for not even changing out of her work clothes so she can just walk right out the door and head to the Buy-More.

Raven is sitting at the Nerd Herd help desk waiting for her.

“You never logged on to LoL last night,” Raven complains. “Yeah, I got a weird e-mail from Costia and it torpedoed my computer.”

“I’m sorry what? Costia? Costia Daniels? The one that ruined your life and got you stuck working at a Buy-More with me?”

“The one and only.”

“What did she want?”

“I don’t know. It was a weird e-mail. It spazzed through a bunch of images and then fried my hard drive.”

“What a bitch.” “Yup.”

It’s a slow day at the Buy-More so Raven and Clarke spend most of the day chit chatting about nothing, planning their next video game all-nighter, and talking about starting their own electronics company to beat out the Buy-More. It’s an idea they’ve talked about for years, but is nothing more than a pipe dream. Neither of them have the capital to get that thing off the ground. No matter how many engineering degrees Raven collects. Eventually they fall into a game of “Guess what that customer is thinking.”

“I am going to hoard this for when the nuclear apocalypse hits us and toilet paper is scarce,” Raven says about the guy with 100 rolls of toilet paper and nothing else in his cart.

“I need a copy of Die Hard for every TV in my house,” Clarke gruffs about the old many with 8 copies of Die Hard in his basket.

The two are so enthralled in their game that they hardly notice a customer approach the help desk.

In a high-pitched valley girl voice, Clarke says, “I’m getting this video camera so I can finally make a sex tape with my boyfriend!” Raven laughs way harder than Clarke thinks the joke earned, but then the customer clears her throat and Clarke whirls around. The customer raises her eyebrows in surprise.

“Um… I… did you? That wasn’t… Hi, welcome to the Nerd Herd. How can I help you?”

Clarke chokes on her tongue a little when she realizes just how beautiful the customer is. She’s wearing tight fitting jeans, a tank top, and an unbuttoned flannel over her shirt. Clarke’s gaydar lightly pings in the back of her mind. Her hair is a mane of curly brown locks. She has a pair of sunglasses perched on the top of her head, and the greenest eyes Clarke has ever seen. When her gaze flicks back up to make eye contact, there’s something… intense about the way this girl looks at her.

“I’ve been having phone troubles. It doesn’t seem to be receiving calls.”

“Can I have a name for the intake form?”

“Lexa.”

“Well Lexa, I’ll see what I can do.”

Clarke fiddles around with the phone, looking for external damage or immediately obvious reasons for malfunction. When she finds nothing evident, she tells Lexa, “It must be something internal, I’ll take it to the back and see what’s going on. Come back in about an hour, and it should be all set.”

“That sounds perfect. Thank you…” Lexa pauses waiting for a name

“Clarke.”

“Thank you, Clarke. I’ll see you in an hour.”

As Lexa turns to walk away, Clarke stares at her ass and says a quiet, “Bye Lexa.”

“HEY CLARKE! You telling this customer goodbye or are you announcing that you’re bi?” Raven says a little too loudly for it to not be intentional.

Lexa turns to flash a smile at Clarke, and Clarke turns to Raven and says, “Reyes, I will kill you in your sleep.”

An hour spent tinkering in the repair shop, and the phone is back to fully functional. Clarke waits at the help desk for Lexa to return. This time she ensures that she’s not mid-game so she doesn’t embarrass herself a second time in front of this customer. She most certainly notices when Lexa walks into the store. This time, the flannel is tied around her waist and Clarke stares at the tattoo curling around her bicep. Then she stares at the biceps themselves and considers tracing the lines with her tongue. Scolding herself for being just as big of a perv as fellow Nerd Herders Jasper and Monty, she smiles and pointedly does not stray from making eye contact. Lexa is less successful as she sneaks a peek down Clarke’s shirt that may have one or two fewer buttons done up this time around.

“What’s the verdict doc?” Lexa asks, leaning into Clarke’s space at the counter.

“All fixed,” Clarke smiles.

“How do I know it works?”

Clarke grins, “Aha, watch this.”

She digs her own phone out of her pocket and dials a number. She waits a few seconds until the phone in Lexa’s hand starts to vibrate and “NERD HERD HOTTIE” pops up on the screen.  

“See? Good as new”

“Thank you, Clarke. I really appreciate it,” Lexa says, and turns to leave the store. Clarke’s bubble of hope pops as she watches her walk away. But then, after a few steps, Lexa picks up her phone, scrolls through a screen and lifts the phone to her ear.

A few feet behind her, Clarke’s phone buzzes on the counter. She answers.

“Do you want to get dinner tonight?” Lexa asks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They agree to meet at Grounders at 7:00. Lexa arrives 15 minutes early and waits at the entrance. She’s wearing a green button up, tight grey pants, and her hair is done up in a neat braid. She has a stun gun tucked into her jacket, a knife hidden in each boot, and a blade laced within the braid. But this is supposed to look like a first date, not a mission, so she tries to make herself look nervous by shifting her weight from one leg to the other, and gets ready to flirt some information out of her mark.

Clarke steps out of an Uber at 7:06 wearing a light blue sundress that makes her look even more like a ray of sunshine. It’s a stark contrast from the unisex Nerd Herd uniform, and Lexa can’t help but give her a once over. Twice maybe thrice if she’s being completely honest. “I thought you might have changed your mind,” Lexa confesses, looking at her watch.

“Of course not! Just bad LA traffic,” Clarke replies and leads them into the restaurant.

Conversation is easy. They make each other laugh. The waitress comes over three times in 45 minutes before either of them have even glanced at the menu. Lexa assures the waitress that they do, in fact, know how to read, and a few minutes later they actually order their food. Neither can stop themselves from long looks and bashful smiles. Clarke learns that Lexa just moved to town and is still looking for the right fit job. They talk about their childhoods and interests. Eventually, they stumble on the topic of whether or not it’s weird that Lexa asked out her phone repair woman. Clarke immediately reddens at the memory of the first words Lexa heard her say. Clarke apologizes for her having to overhear the game she plays with Raven at the Buy-More.

“Speaking of which, how does a girl as beautiful and smart as you end up working for the Nerd Herd?” Lexa asks incredulously.

“That’s kind of a long story. The spark notes version is that I am one semester shy of a computer science degree at Stanford. My senior year, my former best friend and roommate Costia framed me for cheating and got me kicked out of school. No explanation. Since then I haven’t really had the drive to finish the degree. Or trust anyone. I’ve really just been surviving ever since. No sense in living when everything you loved is gone, right? Sorry, that was probably a little heavy for a first date…”

“No, no, it’s fine,” Lexa assures. The name Costia did not go unnoticed, so Lexa presses on, “What ever happened to that Costia girl?”

“The funny thing is I haven’t really thought about her in a few years, but the last two days it’s been at nagging in my mind. I actually got an e-mail from her yesterday, but all it contained was a virus that fried my computer,” Clarke shrugs.

The waiter interrupts to fill their wine glasses, and Lexa’s opportunity to press more about this e-mail vanishes as Clarke switches the subject completely, and they fall back into easy conversation, longing and somewhat thirsty looks, and grinning at each other.

Lexa pays their check while Clarke runs to the bathroom, and they have decided that 3 hours taking up this restaurant’s table is probably long enough. Yes, it’s a mission, but Lexa is genuinely enjoying talking to this girl. She’s sweet and funny, and looks damn good in that dress.

“Can I drive you home?” Lexa asks.

The drive is a comfortable silence. Lexa’s hand rests on Clarke’s knee and mindlessly draws patterns on her thigh until Clarke intertwines their fingers. The drive ends too quickly as they pull up to the complex where Clarke lives.

Lexa walks Clarke to her door. Clarke’s walk slows to a crawl, trying to prolong her time with Lexa as much as possible. But the trip from the car to the stoop is only so long, so she settles for pretending to struggle to find her keys. God she wants to kiss her. She wants to kiss her so badly she hasn’t listened to a word Lexa has said because she can’t think about anything else. Lexa pauses in front of the door, and shuffles a bit closer to Clarke.

“Goodnight, Clarke”, she says as she leans in. Clarke closes her eyes in anticipation, and then feels Lexa’s lips land just left of the mark. Lexa places a chaste kiss on the corner of Clarke’s mouth, then turns to walk away. She turns back with a wink and a wave as Clarke unlocks her front door, and melts to a puddle once she’s crossed the threshold.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lexa paces outside the front of the Buy-More while on the phone with the General. “Beckman, she’s just a normal girl. She hasn’t done anything wrong. I don’t even think the e-mail made it to her. She said she hasn’t heard from Costia since college!” “Agent Woods, Daniels was one of our top agents. There must be a reason she sent it to her. Now, go find out if she’s just a really good liar, or if she’s actually as innocent as you seem to think.” She hangs up without a greeting or dismissal.

Lexa tries to shake off the conversation, and walks through the Buy-More doors to go find Clarke, who at the moment is helping someone pick out a blender. Lexa pretends to be interested in a video camera and presses random buttons while waiting for Clarke to be free.

“Looking at cameras for our sex tape?” Clarke asks with a cheeky grin.

Lexa rolls her eyes and replies, “No, I was just in the neighborhood and wanted to say hi. I had fun last night.”

Clarke lights up with a goofy grin and thinks about how she didn’t kiss her last night. Clarke eyes her lips, and catches Lexa doing the same. She does a quick scan of the floor, hoping to confirm that no manager is there to catch her making out with a girl while on the clock. She’s made it almost a full 360 when it happens.

She sees a man standing in the DVD section. He doesn’t look that much different than a normal customer, but once she sees the scar on his neck, images flash before her eyes. The scar. The man’s name, and seven different aliases. A Russian Prison manifest. A rank within Russian Intelligence operations. They flash before her eyes in rapid succession, pulling the information to the forefront of her brain, and making her a little dizzy with the completely unconscious recall of information she doesn’t remember learning in the first place. The images stop and her eyes refocus

“Lexa, this is going to sound crazy, but that man in the DVDs section is a Russian spy and he

is armed to kill. Don’t ask me how I know that, I just do.”

 Clarke watches Lexa’s eyes widen in alarm. “Holy shit, you downloaded it.”

“What?”

“The Intersect.” “The what?” “I have to get you out of here.”

Lexa grabs Clarke’s hand and pulls her towards the back of the store.

“Lexa, what is going on.” She doesn’t answer. Instead she goes into the breakroom, punches a series of numbers into the vending machine, and watches the machine slide to the right to reveal a passageway. Lexa pulls Clarke through, ignoring her questions and utter shock at what is going on. Clarke is led down some stairs into a conference room with screens taking up a full wall, a wall full of weapons, and a video conference call happening at the table in the center. An angry looking Asian woman sits at the table talking to the screen with a black woman with more medals on her military coat than Clarke knew existed. 

Lexa interrupts their conversation with, “She’s the Intersect.”

“She what?”

“She’s the Intersect. She downloaded it. She just recognized a Russian operative upstairs.”

The other women in the room and on the screen look shocked and horrified.

“So it works?” the woman on the screen asks. “WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. WHERE AM I? WHAT IS THE INTERSECT? WHY IS THERE A SECRET BASE IN THE BUY-MORE? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?” Clarke yells, finally getting Lexa’s attention.

Lexa starts, “My name is Lexa Woods. I work for the CIA.”

“Anya Forrest, Colonel in the NSA.”

“And I’m General Indra Beckman, head of Homeland Security”

Clarke begins to laugh hysterically. “Did Raven put you up to this? She always goes WAY TOO BIG or way too small for pranks. Jeezus how much did she spend on this?!” She wanders the base touching weapons, poking screens, and searching for a hidden camera.

“This isn’t a joke, Miss Griffin,” Beckman interrupts.

The tone sobers Clarke immediately.

Beckman continues, “Three days ago, CIA operative Costia Daniels sent you an email. That email contained every secret the CIA has in what was called the Intersect Project. That information is now in your head. Until a new Intersect can be built, the CIA and NSA’s number one priority will be protecting you.”

“I’m sorry, what now?” Clarke asks.

“You will assist in missions as needed.”

Clarke is, again, much too stunned to grasp anything that was just said. Instead, she asks every question that has run through her mind since she thought she was about to kiss Lexa at work to the current moment. Costia was CIA? Why did she send it to me? How does it work? Can I get it removed? You’re sure this isn’t an over the top prank? Costia is dead?

Lexa, Anya, and Beckman patiently answer every question Clarke has. For the most part, they are very understanding of the barrage of questions. The questions continue for about thirty minutes, but eventually die down. This is real. Clarke will be working with the CIA. Other countries will try to find the Intersect, so she is in danger. She is now their most important asset, and they will protect her at all costs. She doesn’t really have a choice in this.

“I didn’t ask for this,” Clarke states. “We know, but your country is calling,” Beckman answers.

General Beckman hangs up the call, Anya goes back to cleaning an enormous gun, Lexa starts to organize files, and Clarke… Clarke sits at the table staring at her hands. Deep in thought, and too stunned to form coherent thoughts. After ten minutes, she takes a deep breath and addresses Lexa.

“So that date then?”

Lexa reads the implied question and answers, “Was part of my mission to find out what you knew.”

“Ah.”

“Clarke.”

“I don’t know why I thought it was anything else. No one that model hot dates a girl from the Nerd Herd. Is that like a requirement for spy work?”

Lexa cocks her head like a confused puppy.

Clarke glances between Anya and Lexa, and waggles her fingers between the two of them. “You know, the mind-blowing hotness? I mean, it works. Girl that looks like you asks me to jump off the roof and I’d probably do it without asking any follow up questions. Of course it was all fake. You’re probably straight. Really deluded myself into this one. Big yikes.”

Anya looks up from the barrel of her gun and chuffs, “Definitely not straight”

Lexa blushes but doesn’t disagree with Anya. Instead she addresses Clarke directly. “You do realize that we will need to continue dating, right?”

Clarke continues rambling to herself about being an idiot for thinking a girl like Lexa was into her, but then the content of Lexa’s question sinks in. Her brain jolts like a record scratch. “Huh?”

“It’s the perfect cover for why I’m suddenly in your life and may suddenly vanish from it. I can keep a close eye on you when you’re not at work, and it won’t seem suspicious if I stay over. During the day, Anya will work at the Buy More with you.”

Clarke still hasn’t wrapped her head around “continue dating” so instead asks, “I’m dead, right? That Russian operative in DVDs killed me and I’m bleeding out on the Buy-More floor, right? Because there is no way the US government just asked me to fake date a bombshell agent for the safety of our country.”

Anya finishes reassembling her gun, looks up at the newly christened fake couple, and says, “Believe it, babe.”

SAVE TECH

REAL LIFE: 1950′S ‘FALLOUT’ NUCLEAR WAR EAR COUPLE: TBS X READER RATING: SWEET + SCARY + FLIRTY

‘WELCOME TO SAVE TECH’S NEW IMPROVED PUBLIC BATHROOM VAULT, IF YOU ARE HEARING THIS YOU WHERE NOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A PRE-BUILT HOME VAULT'

Y/N POV:

I stood making a pie I had little to do today I stood finishing off the pie looking out the window to the people who l’ve next door they where getting one of those, ‘Save tech’ Vault shelters fitted in there garden today they did look nice the family ones and they do hit you with constant advertising I do think they are a good investment But... I can’t afford one for my little house a two man shelter will set you back over 250 thousand pounds that’s as much as a band new house on top of running bills, Food stocks and all sorts of other things for it “Y/N!” My father yells from his room

“Coming Papa” I reply rushing off towards his room, his room is old and broken but he has been in here for almost twenty years

“Y/n what are you up to today?” he asked as I made his bed and helped him around his room 

“Not much Papa, just cleaning up and all” I smile 

“You should go out today” he says “go to the shops”

“I cant Papa, both our books are ticked up for this month, the store wont serve me till neck month” I tell him tucking him into bed 

“please y/n do go out today” he told me

“Why papa?” I ask

“I think it would be best for you, you hardly ever leave this house, I can look after myself for a while” he told me 

“well if your sure papa” I smile giving him some tea and going and grabbing my bag and going out the house locking it up behind me going off towards the town

“Oh Morning Y/n” the lady next door yells Mrs Millar I don’t much like her I find her a rich snob always waving her money in peoples faces 

“Oh Morning Penny” I smile 

“So Darling, You must come over one evening see the new Vault” she smiles

“I’m sure I would love to” I smile

“All new features you know, carpet interior, leather seating, open fire, nuclear oven, my gosh Darling I don’t know what you do, but I suppose I rather have got used to the finer things” she smiles

“I guess so penny” I smile beging to go towards town

“Oh and Y/n I hope you don’t mind dear but I passed your number along to our friend Marcus the poor boy’s just lost his third wife to a terrible nuclear kettle accident” she said

“Oh well tell him Im sorry for his loss, but I’m not really looking for a man right now” I tell her quickly wondering off before she can say something else  rushing off to town looking though the windows at the beautiful golden birds to eat, the Glamorous pink and blue dresses, the wonderful new technology, all the little bits of life I cant afford I couldn’t tell papa but our books had been taken away as I was whiting out the stamps in order to get more I wish I hadn’t but at the time it seemed best, for little Harriet and Helena, but there not around anymore. so I wondered the cobble stone streets enjoying the sun and the sweet skies until a group of ladies about my age wondered past me and laughed at me a little so I sighed going off to the ladies public bathroom the room clean and shinny still very my un used by many I stood in the mirror fixing my hair and my dress trying to look as nice as I could until 

“ALL CITIZENS REPORT TO SHELTERS THIS IS A OFFICIAL BOMB DRILL” I sighed knowing I cant get home before the officers march the streets yelling at people for not having shelters until I noticed a little button on the back wall with a little smiley face on it  so out of curiosity I pressed the button and it opened a sealed vault door so I hopped inside quickly shutting it behind me I saw this place, It was a room the size of a large front room it had a bed in the corner with some pale green bed sheets on it and a large wall mounted mirror on the same wall a bit apart from the bed a small new fully fitted kitchen area and a large brown leather recliner facing a desk and tv screen that was playing the outside like a window it had another little room to the side with a toilet and a bathtub it seemed so glamorous like a five star hotel in here

‘WELCOME TO SAVE TECH’S NEW IMPROVED PUBLIC BATHROOM VAULT, IF YOU ARE HEARING THIS YOU WHERE NOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A PRE-BUILT HOME VAULT' a voice above me said “BUT WE WELCOME YOU THIS WILL BE YOUR HOME UNTIL THE END OF THE RADIATION PERIOD”

great so I’m stuck in here until the drill is over

“PLEASE ENTER VAULT OCCUPANT NAME” the voice told me so I sigh sitting on the chair and typing in my name so the vault knows me 

“WELCOME Y/N WE MUST FIRST TANK YOU FOR CHOOSING SAVE TECH AT THIS HIGH PRIORITY TIME, WE ENJOY INFORMING YOU, YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE NUMBER ONE VAULT SECURITY IN THE UK, WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR CONTINUED LIFE THANKS TO SAVE TECH” the voice told me 

“Wow preachy lady” I sigh “Okay how long am I going to be in here?” I ask 

“YOU WILL BE INSIDE UNTIL THE RADS CLEAR” the voice said

“Okay how long will this whole drill last? I kinda need to get home” I ask

“THIS IS NO DRILL” the voice answered

“What?” I ask

“THIS IS NO DRILL, THE GOVERNMENT ISSUED A DRILL SO PEOPLE WOULD GO TO THE VAULTS WITHOUT PANIC NOW YOU ARE INSIDE WE CAN CLARIFY THE BOMBS HIT LONDON CENTRAL AT EXACTLY 10:45 AM AND CITIZENS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE UNTIL THE RADS HAVE CLEARED” the voice explained

“What? No! let me out! i can’t stay in here! LET ME OUT!” I scream

“YOU WILL BE RELEASED IN........63.6 YEARS” the voice told me

“63 years? you don’t understand, if those bombs really have gone off I have to find my family, I have to help my father and my children please let me out” I beg

“You can find them on the vault map” the voice says

“No I cant they... they wont be in one....there...I will never see them again” I cry ...

after what felt like days in this little box I returned to the chair and opened the computer 

“complete occupant profile” It told me 

so I sighed filling in all the data it wanted about me my age, my gender, if i smoke, any existing health problems, if I have had children before... I answer honestly except the last I answer that I have not had children I know this is like a Facebook page that other vaults are able to see and I would rather keep my girls a secret and i sigh as it loads up the map of other vaults I could chat with and such like I looked around for a moment there was millions almost everyone had a shelter of some sort I looked to find the Millar’s it read no inhabitants on there address so I clicked to read more detail it seems the shelter wasn't wired properly when the bombs dropped they died instantly, that’s fun to know, so i keep looking know one I really knew or was overly friendly with until i got an alert 

“New Local Occupant” it told me it does that when someone close by to you finishes there profile so I sighed pulling back Oh i didn't have to as the new one is literally next door and as soon as I read it I got a call so I answer

“Hi, your literaly next door to me, i wanna ask can you hear when I hit the wall?” a male voice asked and I heard a loud bang on the wall by the mirror

“Yeah I can” I giggle

“Oh cool, you are actually a girl I saw your name and I thought it might have been like a odd guy like being weird” he laughs 

“I didn’t even get change to really read yours” I answer

“Oh Im thomas Tommy's okay too” he said

“Y/n, just y/n is fine”

selected tweets 2016-17

These are tweets from my first @luisneer twitter account. Recently I made a new twitter account with the same username, after having deleted my account and having been without twitter for several months. These tweets are from August 2016 to March 2017, which was most of my first year of college at Shepherd University, in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. I don't go to Shepherd anymore; I transferred to West Virginia University, in Morgantown, WV, after my second semester. My tweets from late March 2017 to [July or August] 2017, when I deleted my twitter, were not archived. 

I'm creating this blog post so the world will have access to some of my tweets from the deleted @luisneer, in case they have any merit as literature. I'm still not sure if I will continue to use twitter in 2018/the future. Usually when I use twitter I feel like I'm actually wanting to be doing something else, but I don't know what; or wanting to be using "another app" that doesn't exist. Twitter generally seems bad for me. Questions about my tweets August 2016-March 2017 can be directed at luisneer@gmail.com. Thank you

    2016

   morgantown has ~48 vape shops

 **morgantown has ~480 vape shops

 siri has werner herzog-like inflections

 considering changing outfits when i take several walks in one day (so nobody thinks im a serial killer, stalker, spy, alien)

 think i remember ~5% of things i said today

 imagined vague connection btwn 'vitamin d' and 'reptar'

 felt distinctly that i was a monkey or chimpanzee while crouching in the corner of my dorm room eating peanuts out of a jar

 just thought (as a request to my mom) 'fax me my skateboard...'

 looked at toilet in bathroom stall with expression of 'utter terror' for what felt like ~15 seconds while it flushed

 listening to bright eyes with headphones at house show

 feel that the toothpaste i use is advancing decay of my teeth

What many people with only a superficial knowledge of the Trump classified documents case don't realize is that he held on to documents even after claiming he returned "any and all responsive documents" as a result of a subpoena.

Even if he somehow manages to convince a jury that it was fine for an ex-president to store nuclear secrets next to an unsecured toilet, there's the concrete matter of him lying to the FBI and not complying with a subpoena related to all of those documents.

As Ari Melber points out in this vid, Trump had more than one opportunity to come clean but intentionally chose not to.

Special Counsel Jack Smith presented the basics of the case against Trump in a well-written indictment. Though there is additional evidence which will likely come to light in the context of the upcoming trial.

Opening Bell: April 21, 2017

A gunman opened fire upon police officers on the Champs-Elysees in Paris yesterday. One officer was killed and the other two were wounded. The gunman was almost immediately cut down by fire from responding officers. Within hours, ISIS claimed that the gunman was a “fighter” associated with the organization. His identity was not released by the Paris prosecutor’s office, but the man was allegedly from Belgium. The attack occurred only three days before French voters go to the polls to select a new president. Nationalist candidate—and well-known immigration opponent—Marine Le Pen condemned the rising tide of Islamism in France. It will be interesting to see if she gains any votes based upon this incident, given that it took place on Paris’s most prominent boulevard. Independent candidate Emmanuel Macron, in contrast to Le Pen, called on French voters not to give themselves over to fear-mongering. Le Pen, Macron, or François Fillon will likely prevail on Sunday in an election which could have an enormous impact on the future of European politics.

Venezuela has been wracked by increasingly large demonstrations and protests by civilians over the last month. The demonstrations center on the policies of the government of President Nicolas Maduro, which have, largely due to the low price of oil, caused the nation’s economy to nosedive in recent years. Lines at grocery stores stretch for hours and the shelves are generally bare of basic necessities, including things like toilet paper and cooking oil. The nationalized oil industry is run by Maduro cronies who replaced technocrats who had run the industry for decades. Maduro has dismissed the protests and organized counter-protests of his own; Maduro’s political support remains strong among the nation’s poor and rural populations. This week some of the biggest protests occurred. Two people were killed and six were injured in the capital of Caracas and other cities. While the protests occurred, Venezuelan authorities seized a General Motors plant in the country, prompting GM to announce that it was suspending all operations in the country until further notice.

Amid speculation that North Korea was preparing for a sixth atomic weapons test, satellites passing over the test site at Punggye-ri in the mountainous northeast of the country spotted personnel participating in a volleyball game. Volleyball is a popular sport in North Korea and games have been spotted going on in the past, however, analysts think that this particular game was orchestrated by Pyongyang knowing full-well that satellites are passing overhead almost constantly. The intent of the regime, according to some North Korea-watchers, would be to exhibit a façade of calmness, even nonchalance in advance of the next nuclear test.

As the Trump administration’s first hundred days come to an end, one significant achievement which it can declare, and which has not been widely reported by the media, is his successful attempt at freeing Aya Hijazi, a U.S. citizen imprisoned by Egypt without charges for three years. Hijazi was imprisoned on unsupported charges of child abuse related to the non-profit organization she and her husband founded in Egypt prior to 2014. After rounds of negotiations, the Egyptian government released Hjazi and she and her husband boarded a U.S. government jet in Cairo and returned to the United States.

Entering this week, Arkansas was scheduled to execute eight death row prisoners over eleven days because the state’s supply of the drug used in lethal injections was due to expire at the end of the month and there remains a national shortage of the drug. The execution of eight men in eleven days is a faster pace than any attempted by any other state ever since the death penalty was reinstated in 1977. A series of court ordered stays has prevented some of those executions from being carried out, including stays by both the Arkansas Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court. However, just as I was writing this shortly after midnight, it was reported that Arkansas executed Ledell Lee, the state’s first execution since 2005.

After first extending, and then withdrawing, an invitation to conservative commentator Ann Coulter, the University of California at Berkeley, long recognized as a liberal bastion even among universities across the nation, reversed course again and re-invited Coulter to speak at the university. The initial invitation was rescinded because of the threat of violence, but after Coulter threatened to come to the campus and speak regardless of whether she had an invitation, the university reversed itself. Coulter is a prominent Trump supporter and well-known for her outlandish statements, but, just as prominent evangelical churches used to give time to Christopher Hitchens, it is vital that institutions like Berkeley give time to individuals like Ann Coulter.

In the aftermath of Congressional Republicans to agree on passage of the American Healthcare Act (AHCA), began a new effort to reform the legislation to gain the support of both moderates and conservatives in the House. The AHCA failed because its provisions, which did not include a repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), turned off conservative members of the House Freedom Caucus. While any attempt to attach a repeal provision to it, and to strip out some of the most popular features of the ACA, was rejected by moderate House Republicans and, of course, all of the chamber’s Democrats. The reformulated legislation promises to appeal to both moderates and conservatives in the GOP caucus, and the White House has called for a vote as soon as next Thursday, but this seems highly unlikely to occur. Privately, Congressional aides are wary of such a short timetable on what will still be a major piece of legislation. House Republicans should be careful here: another attempt to bring forth the legislation that meets with further failure will undermine their ability to address tax reform, their next legislative goal.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) made a surprising announcement this week that he would not seek a fifth term in Congress in 2018. Chaffetz became known during the latter years of the Obama administration for his vigorous investigations of the executive branch through his status as Chair of the House Oversight Committee. Prior to the November 2016 general election, Chaffetz allegedly boasted that he would deluge a Hillary Clinton administration with subpoenas. When Donald Trump unexpectedly won, and immediately made a number of ethically dubious statements and moves, Chaffetz’s silence was noted and immediately criticized. There are rumors that Chaffetz is considering a run for Senate in 2018 or governor in 2020. At the age of 50, Chaffetz is still quite young by political standards and so it is highly unlikely that this is the last we will hear of him.

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) faces reelection in 2018 in a state which Donald Trump won by a landslide in 2016. Manchin, a former governor and secretary of state, is probably one of the only Democrats left in West Virginia who can hold the seat, such is his reputation among residents of the state. Nonetheless Manchin, who is one of the most conservative Democrats in the Senate, has received a great deal of help from out-of-state contributors; the vast majority of money he has raised so far for 2018 has come from Texas, Florida, and New York. This is the new age of nationalized elections, where potentially close races are identified by supporters on both sides and money pours in to what is otherwise and local or regional election. There are some who speculate that Manchin, in order to save his seat, could switch parties. That is a distinct possibility especially given the rapidly changing party affiliation of his home state from one of the most Democratic states in the union to one of the most Republican, but as of today Manchin remains a member of the Democratic Senate leadership and seems to relish his role as one of the few remaining politicians who can successfully cross the aisle to work out deals with Republican members of the upper chamber.

In response to increased breaches of the White House perimeter, especially in the latter years of the Obama administration, the Secret Service announced this week that it would restrict access on the sidewalk on the south perimeter of the White House grounds 24 hours per day, as opposed to just evening hours, as it has done since 2015. The extension of the White House security perimeter is an effort to lower the rate of fence jumpers onto the grounds. The add-ons to the White House perimeter have been incremental ever since the Secret Service closed Pennsylvania Avenue to automobile traffic during the first Clinton administration. Critics of the Secret Service plans say that this only further removes the White House, and the president, from the public. Though it is worth pointing out that White House tours are still a daily event.

President Donald Trump this week nominated former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown to be the next ambassador to New Zealand. Brown, a Republican, famously won the seat of longtime Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy in 2010, only to lose to Elizabeth Warren in 2012. Brown then moved to New Hampshire and contested the seat of Senator Jeanne Shaheen in 2014, only to lose again. Brown’s past as a male model has already been brought to light by the New Zealand press.

The State Department this week approved $300 million worth of equipment, including rifles and Humvees, to equip two brigades of the Kurdish military. The Obama administration was generally reluctant to provide certain forms of military aid to the Kurds in order to prevent inflaming the Turkish and Iraqi governments. $68 billion of aid was approved by the State Department in 2012, but this new approval already brings up the 2017 total to $47 billion.

In 2010, the U.S. Navy lifted the ban on female sailors serving aboard submarines. Up until that point, submarines were, along with many other posts across the U.S. military, male-only preservers. As of 2017, however, there are upwards of 70 female officers and 50 enlisted personnel serving on submarines across the entire fleet. This number is expected to increase over the next decade. In response, the U.S. Navy is retrofitting current submarines to better accommodate female sailors and is incorporating major design changes into the later Virginia-class attack submarines and the upcoming Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines, the latter of which are expected to begin entering the fleet in 2031.

In the latter four years of the Obama administration, the EPA sought to impose the so-called Clean Power Plan on American energy producers. The plan was immediately controversial and several states sued the administration to prevent its application, including current EPA administrator Scott Pruitt when he was Oklahoma Attorney General. The Brookings Institution analyzes how the Trump administration is likely to gut the Clean Power Plan.

As the United States presence in Syria has increased, something which has been mentioned in previous Friday Opening Bells, there remains an open question of whether the United States would deploy combat aircraft within Syria similar to how the Russians have. While the United States has developed and used a primitive airfield at Kobani, this has mainly been for cargo aircraft bringing in supplies for Syria rebel forces. The one Syrian airfield which has been seized is not up to the standards necessary for U.S. strike aircraft. Therefore it is likely that the U.S, will continue to operate the majority of its air missions out of Incilirk Air Base in southern Turkey.

Foreign Policy on the upcoming French election and the international doubt which hovers over which candidate will prevail. There is an open question of whether France will follow populist trends in Britain and the U.S. or whether it will elect a more internationalist type candidate. The election is likely to be affected by the events of this week noted above.

Geoffrey Skelley and Kyle Kondik do a deep-dive—and I do mean a deep dive—into the 2018 gubernatorial races, on a state-by-state basis. This is highly recommended analysis. The party which controls the most governorships heading into 2020 is the party which will have an outsized influence on how redistricting occurs after the 2020 census.

Stuart Rothenberg on what the results of the Georgia 6th District special election mean, and what they don’t, going forward into 2018. It is far too early to predict the outcome of the 2018 midterm elections, regardless of how unpopular President Trump appears in recent polls. A lot can happen between now and November 2018, while the Kansas and Georgia special election do seem to indicate a broad current against the GOP because of Donald Trump, there is no guarantee that this momentum will extend into 2018. However, Congressional Republicans should be wary. Only twice in the last half-century has the party in power in the White House gained seats inn a midterm election,

Finally, New York Times Magazine has an intensive analysis on the state of Singapore, and specially how a city-state-nation takes practical steps to create more land for itself, especially in anticipate of rising seawaters due to climate change. Whether you are ascribe to the idea of climate change or not, this story is an excellent read.

Welcome to the weekend.

Welcome to Chapter 8 of my blog-to-book project: Life After High School: Secrets To A Successful Life By Those Who Have Had Twenty Years To Think About It (or) What They Didn’t Teach Us Gen Xers In High School. This chapter is called The Apartment. If you missed the last post, click here, otherwise, you can start at the beginning here.

I decided to get out of the dorm and get my own place. The Apartment was on 43rd and Brooklyn in the University District. It was a fantastic top floor condo with a view of downtown. I lived there for something like thirteen years, with all kinds of roommates on and off. At one point my “sister” (cousin) Stacie was a roommate. She was doing well at the time with a great job but partied a bit hard at night. I did what I could to be supportive. At another point, I had five roommates in the one-bedroom apartment. I lived in the closet, all in the name of saving money and helping friends out. Scott stayed there during our monk years, where he prayed all day, and I measured all my food for the Zone diet and studied. We did not talk and we did not party for a year.

The funniest time at the apartment could fill another few chapters with stories. Scott’s brother Jon was a roommate, but we never saw him. He had a pair of shoes that lived in the corner of the room, with jeans and a shirt folded on the top. That represented Jon. Their younger brother Ryan was our butler, and literally had a list of chores to do every day in exchange for rent. When you have five guys with drunk friends coming over it was an endless job. The toilet alone required a Hazmat suit and a set of three-foot prongs to clean it without being exposed to the nuclear filth. Luke Pinnow lived there and worked at Trader Joe’s and for a short time the gym I worked in. He graduated high school the year after us. Luke was later a minority partner and employee of the gym I opened up in 2005, which probably ruined our relationship. One of my friends from the dance department, Michael Bilikas, who also majored in a bunch of science stuff and Greek, and took nearly as long as Scott McKinstry to graduate, used to run big events at the Show Box downtown, and the crazy nightlife kept him on his cell phone late into the night. He used to fall asleep sitting up with the TV blaring. He later went to NYU dental school. Of all the roommates over the years, 9-Ball was the funniest roommate by far.

Formally John “9-Ball” Angus, who later legally changed his name to “Jawn” Angus, was in a phase of his life that one might call the partying years. To me, he was just full of life and living every moment. Others might call him a drunk. To me, he was a friend and a very interesting roommate. One day, he invited the homeless man who sat out on University Way Northeast, colloquially known as The Ave. The man went by the name of Bear and had a hook for a hand. He had a cardboard sign he would proudly display next to his can (pun intended) as he sat with the other Ave Rats waiting for a handout. His cheeky sign read, “It’s For Beer.” At least he was an honest bum.

Now, I prefer to view 9-Ball’s invitation an act of generosity, charity, and as philanthropic humanitarianism. One could also make an argument that he was just doing it for a laugh or as a bizarre social experiment, perhaps to see if the man could out drink him.

Upon arriving back home that day, I was surprised to see 9-Ball and Bear hosting a poker party. I can’t remember for sure, as many of those parties were a little hazy in my memory banks, but I seem to recall cigars and several other gentlemen from our usual crowd. The apartment had become an episode of Cheers, but Norm sitting at the end of the bar had been replaced by a homeless derelict who indeed could drink everyone else under the table… And he did.

After that, Bear became an honorary member of the Stoddard Tenement House, and his hook became our crest.

It was an amazing time. There were women in the place here and there (I am so sorry for those poor souls), but the primary players were a motley crew of young men somehow loosely connected to one of the tenants. In addition to those formally paying rent, there was a cast of characters that rounded out the mix.

My childhood friend Gary Hunter, a math genius who went to Whitman college, would come over and help organize the poker parties and bring exotic liqueurs, food, and cigars. He was on his way to becoming a successful bond trader and highly sought-after analyst of some kind. He worked for Washington Mutual Capital Corporation before the crash. I would go and visit him when I was working at the 5th Avenue Theater on our lunch break. Gary always has at least two computer monitors in front of him at all times. There is a legal statute somewhere that says that whatever is on the monitors must be at least three years ahead of everyone else and at least thirty IQ points above my head. Gary is one of those people who saw the crash coming and warned me, but I bought swamp land in Florida anyway (literally and figuratively) and lost my shirt. Years later, real estate investment trusts and really smart people in California pay Gary a lot of money to be smarter for them as he sits in his underwear in his living room. To be honest, no one really knows what Gary did or does. From what I have been able to deduce, Gary creates Excel spreadsheets that other people use to try to figure out other spreadsheets, that analyze things that other people try to figure out using spreadsheets that Gary made. There is then a bunch of smart people who ask Gary when they should jump and how high, and then somehow at the end of it all some guy in Rhode Island ends up owning twelve apartment buildings for a nickel.

Another friend I met at the gym, Nick Lacy, was an African-American singer and club hopper who I loved dearly and somehow ended up at the club Neighbors with. I did not know what Neighbors was when I went, and it made it that much more interesting. I grew up very fast in those years. I dated Tania, who’s family was from Mexico and was an exceptional Salsa dancer that I met at the University of Washington Ballroom Dance Club. We went out dancing all the time for several years. The culmination of our relationship was a bronze in the Seattle ballroom dance competition. We tried for a while, but it wasn’t meant to be. That was that and she moved to Australia.

Nick’s buddy (who I shall not name to protect the innocent), would come over already high and looking to get more stoned. He had completed a master’s degree in a very competitive program at the UW, and now was doing nothing with it. One time, at the end of a long drawn-out soirée, he couldn’t find any more beer in my fridge. He looked at a half-empty (which he saw as half-full) glass of beer that someone had put a cigar out in, and with only a brief pause, shrugged his shoulders and chugged it down, ashes and all. These were lengths to which one would go to keep the party going at the Stoddard Tenement House.

Those years ended abruptly when the owner of the condo, an airline pilot with a stressful life, suddenly passed away from a heart attack. His wife and daughter were in shock and mourning, and I knew they wanted the daughter to be able to stay there, as she was a college student too. I decided it would be for the best if I just moved out to get out of their way. I had a deposit all wrapped up in a new building up the street that was already past the opening deadline and kept postponing. I had nowhere to put my stuff, so I stored some of it downstairs in the laundry room and some of it out in the alley behind the building in our garage space that was not at all secure.

What seemed like an act of courtesy turned into very bad timing. A few hours before I was to move out, we were all having one last little get-together. 9-Ball noticed some young punks in the alleyway four stories below who were mouthing off and throwing insults at us through the window. 9-Ball very correctly set the young hooligans straight and they fled the scene, not knowing that they would throw something much worse than insults in a matter of hours. We left the apartment to finish our work (I literally had to go work at University Fitness) and I came back later that evening to find splattered egg all over the walls of the living room. Somehow, he had insulted the next pitcher for the mariners or something, because that kid had an arm like a cannon. Either that or they had some kind of deadly accurate egg gun. I realized we had left the windows open on that hot evening and from four stories below, these kids had managed to launch those eggs through our windows and all over our walls, destroying the paint.

The others were gone, and all I had with me was the newest roommate on the scene, Andrew from the dance department. Andrew had just moved in and never even knew any of the other guys and yet from the goodness of his heart, he stayed with me that evening to paint the entire living room and clean up the mess. He lasted most of the night, and I pulled the rest of the all-nighter and finished the job. I turned the keys in and went to the gym the next morning. Without a home, the backroom at the gym became my new living space. I worked during the day, and then pleaded with Fahreed, who started at eleven, not to tell the boss that I was sleeping there. I am not sure if the boss would have cared, but I felt ashamed. Fahreed’s shift would end at five in the morning and I would start. It was a strange time.

Years later, after acquiring a well-paying oil refinery job, no doubt with help of his sheer charisma, 9-Ball began to travel to exotic locales in order to help with the expensive process of the winding down of refineries. On location in a tropical setting, he was a major car accident that should have taken his life. Swearing to become changed man, he swore off his previous lifestyle, including all drinking, purchased a race bike, and became an avid marathon runner and tri-athlete. I visited him once when he lived on Alki in Seattle, to see his many ribbons and accolades lining his wall when he was running an average of one marathon per month. He was lean and sinewy and truly embodied a new man. He legally changed his name to Jawn Angus.

Farewell 9-Ball, your memory shall forever be cherished and worshiped by the suppliant Ave Rats and Bums of University Way North East. Thus is the tale told by descendants on the Ave who’s cardboards signs now read, “It’s For 9-Ball,” and who wear pendants and various pieces of flair, all with the image of a hook on them.

In the next post, I will continue with more interesting interviews.

I still think a Russian submarine will try to help Trump flee from Mar-a-Lago. Though he won't be able to supply them with the nuclear secrets he had been storing next to his guest toilet.

Argentina's goofy anarcho-fascist president-elect Javier Milei may not last very long if he actually tries to implement the policies which he promised during the campaign. According to rulers.org, Argentina had 6 presidents in 18 months during a previous economic crisis early this century.

So Argentina may not be the most stable place for a notorious fugitive.
