President Donald Trump vetoed a bill designed to block his emergency declaration at the Southern Border on Friday, in a ceremony at the White House.

“Today, I am vetoing this resolution,” Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I’m very proud to veto it.”

    And Runaway needs to follow GW Bush's lead with a pretzel, only with more permanent results. You know this will end badly for you, Runaway? You will be the guy in Pennsylvania, or the guy in NZ, you will end up being Timmy McViegh, or Charles Manson. It is all right there in your head, already. Here is what I suggest: turn yourself in to the FBI. Just show up at the local office, right there at 24 Shackleford West Boulevard, Little Rock, AR 72211, and tell them that you might be a white nationalist terrorist. They will know what to do. And your long mental anguish will be at an end, and you can make friends with the Aryan Brotherhood, in prison.

    You've always had a few cogs loose. It is not I who has a mental illness history, but you. But, there is no need for you to become a burden on the FBI. Call a taxi, or call an ambulance, and go on down to your local hospital. Check yourself in to the looney bin (Where I grew up it was known as "The Fourth Floor") and allow the good doctors, nurses, and orderlies to shove you into the proper padded round room. There, you can contemplate the mysteries of the universe, such as, "How can I piss in the corner of a room that has no corners?" and "I must piss, but I have no hands free to piss with!"

      So true. You only have a single mental illness episode, only one!
      A life long one, granted, but still a single episode doesn't not a history make.

      I never killed anyone.

      The white supremacists who commit domestic terrorism like have such issues as crystal meth addiction - all the rage in here in Patriot Prayer's Vancouver - but cannot be rightly said to be mentally ill in any way.

      Good Day.

      MDC is insane, and he still writes better than you and has more basic human decency than you. What the fuck is YOUR excuse? I know which of the two of you I'd rather spend an afternoon with.

          Karma is a bitch. Much worse will happen to them in "Hell" for much longer, to say nothing of what they'll be forced to reincarnate as (hint: I see a lot of babies in the NICU born opiate-dependent).

          tl;dr: I'm not "nice" and never claimed to be, and if that bothers you, go have an attack of the vapors on yonder fainting couch.

            Cheyne-Stokes Respiration while awake, in the absence of cardiac disease, increased intracranial death nor imminent death.

            But _with_ Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, thirty years of Psychogenic Polydipsia and my entire life - 55 years - of Circadian Rhythm Disorder, Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome.

            Also childhood Apneac Diving Breathhold Training, Mercury Vapor Inhalation Poisoning, decades of self-induced Insomnia and of course Bipolar-Type Schizoaffective Disorder.

            PubMed yields no insight, but I'll try Google Scholar this evening.

            I don't think I mention my Syncope yet. I'll add that after I eat supper.

              I've actually been thinking about you and your case a fair amount, and am completely utterly baffled. My first guess was some sort of seizure disorder well beyond TLE, maybe with involvement in Broca's Area among other places, perhaps with the pons or other parts of the lower brain involved as well considering the horrible agonal breathing you're suffering. And that it may be secondary to an actual physical lesion (mini-bleeds? Transient ischemia?) rather than just electrical glitches.

              Have they done an EEG workup for you at any point? Also, have you ever had a fainting spell brought on by severe substance use or any of its sequelae? I am thinking specifically of a case of hyponatraemia here, especially if you were improperly resuscitated with too high a concentration of saline and may have suffered some demyelinization.

                I'll get my Neurologist's [peacehealth.org] report on April 1st, mercifully but two weeks from now.

                That the film "Lorenzo's Oil" depicted his parents convening a world-wide conference of the - tragically few - researchers into his condition inspires me to convence such a conference of my very own!

                How Cool Could That Be?

                To start with, I'll compile a curated link-list [soggy.jobs] of all their homepages, their CVs and their C-S papers, then I'll snail them all dead trees with a two-page writeup on what I know so far - for example, I don't get Syncope if I'm well-rested! - then ask them to prepare travel grant applications that they may attend. I'll send out a call for papers after reading _all_ their abstracts as well as those _complete_ papers that may yield further insight.

                Want to come yourself? While my hypothetical Lear Jet is but a twinkle in my eye, likely I _can_ cover your travel and lodging expenses.

                Portland is _beautiful in the warmer times of the year, likely late this Summer, so as to not interfere with their teaching.

                Likely at Oregon Health & Sciences University [ohsu.edu].

                I'll reply to your other items after I've had me some fresh, hot, strong, black, bitter coffee.

                Much as I like my women.

        Quite likely I can pick you up in my Lear Jet [guacamoleroad.com] towards the end of Summer.
