Exactly. This wouldn't even be a blip in the news if he weren't a former president. Judges lock people up for contempt all the time for way less than he's already said.
Most sane people agree you can't tamper with witnesses or threaten prosecutors (or anyone). He just has a loud cult of rabid defenders who would believe the sky was purple if he said it.
But if a particular demographic is dying more frequently of a specific cause, it's worth digging into why that's happening. These are people for fucks sake.
Not sure if you want advice, but maybe you could carry around a small notebook? Or if that's too inconvenient, write notes in your phone. Then if inspiration strikes you can get it down in the moment.
For me at least, this always boiled down to memory and not being inspired when I'm not busy.
Never tried meth but I was homeless for a time. I can absolutely see why you'd flock to it if you live on the street.
It's not safe to sleep, even more so at night. Cops make a habit of stealing/destroying your stuff, and because of that other homeless people steal your shit. It makes you feel invincible, helps you ignore the cold, and 10 bucks keeps you high for 2 days.
It's all well and good to say don't do drugs, but not having a place can really change your priorities in ways you'd never expect.

Toad The Wet Sprocket, Walk On The Ocean
And as we enter the "Entire cities burning down" part of climate change the world will do... Absolutely nothing.
"But they said they'd help me out if I told my side of the story! They said they'd put in a good word with the DA for me!"

Same.
I was like, huh seems like she was overworked I guess I wonder why there's so many comments... Oh fuck.

But normally the fucking happens in way-off corners of the country that the majority is happy to not think about.
Not that it makes it right, in any sense, but the grand fucking canyon? Conservatives are getting more brazen by the day.
They already know. And they already know they won't ever get credit.
The criminal court gave him a pass. I believe this is a civil lawsuit from the families of the victims.
It's not justice but it would be better than nothing to make sure he dies broke.
I don't know what the whole answer would be, but a huge part of it would be whiskey.
Hurt my knee cuz I sat down wrong. Had to add "can't tuck my leg behind me when I sit" to the old man list.
Always the nature. I'm probably more "west" than Midwest but, hiking, camping, mountain biking... What more could you want?
