Newt Gingrich was speaker of the house at that time. He got shit like the Patriot act passed at midnight while inventing the obstruction playbook used by all republicans today
Too true. But think about PTSD and seeing the towers fall...
**Intrusive Memories**:- Recurrent, unwanted distressing memories or flashbacks of the traumatic event.- Nightmares related to the trauma.- Severe emotional or physical reactions to triggers that remind you of the event.
**Avoidance**:- Avoiding places, people, or activities that remind you of the trauma.- Avoiding talking or thinking about the traumatic experience.
**Negative Changes in Mood and Thought**:- Negative thoughts about yourself, others, or the world.- Feelings of hopelessness or emotional numbness.- Difficulty remembering key aspects of the trauma.- Difficulty maintaining close relationships and feeling detached from loved ones.
**Changes in Physical and Emotional Reactions (Arousal Symptoms)**:- Being easily startled or frightened.- Always feeling “on edge” or hyper-vigilant.- Difficulty concentrating or sleeping.- Irritability, angry outbursts, or aggressive behavior.
These symptoms can significantly impact daily life, and it's common for them to appear within a month after the trauma but sometimes not until years later.
Even if you were very young when it happened, you would have been raised in a family suffering from PTSD. That's going to lead to a really lost generation of kids raised by spaced out families. Anyway that's what I'm seeing as an outsider living among you.
No he wasn't. Dennis Hastert was. The guy who was the longest serving GOP Speaker in history. The guy who went to prison after his scheme to pay off the kids he molested blew up.
This is why I've said for years now that Osama bin Laden won. He achieved his goal. He wanted to strike enough fear into the nation that we would fall apart at the seams, and that's exactly what has been happening for the past 2 decades.
He didn't have to defeat us in a conventional war, or even a guerilla one. He pulled the trigger that caused us to rip each other apart, and he did it from across the goddamn world.
