Derrotar o PT é a prioridade. Sempre. Mas é preciso ser sincero. Flavio eleito seria governo centrão sem qualquer confronto ao sistema e ao STF. É refém dos monstros do pântano antes mesmo da largada. Vender outro cenário é enganar o eleitor emocionado. Chega de tic-tac…

this is when you know you're doing well in life

@TheRabbitHole ...Nuff said.

Guys it gets worse. This is the portrait that lost.

It’s completely over.

250 years ago today Adam Smith gave the world a fantastic insight. That order, cooperation and prosperity are not ordered from above by priests or chiefs but emerge from the social interactions of ordinary people. It’s the most revolutionary and benign idea ever proposed.

I have a 1960s mindset. 1. Defeat the communists 2. Build more houses 3. Build more nuclear powerplants

The spiritual moment when you go out to eat alone at night in another country

18 year olds after 13 years of government education: -can't build a house -can't work on a car -no idea how to farm -economically illiterate -historically iliterate -no idea how our bodies work -no clue about healthy nutrition -is chronically depressed

American Giant. One of the best to have ever done it. Be Theodore Roosevelt >Born 1858. New York. Wealthy family. >Sickly child. Severe asthma. Can barely breathe. Weak. >Father tells you: "You have the mind but not the body. Make your body." >Build a gym in your house. Lift. Box. Push until your lungs work. >Will yourself into strength. >Enter Harvard. Box. Row. Hunt. Study everything. >Graduate. Enter politics at 23. >Mother and wife die on the same day. Same house. Valentine's Day 1884. >Write in your diary: "The light has gone out of my life." >Flee to the Badlands. Become a cowboy. Cattle rancher in Dakota Territory. >Hunt grizzlies. Capture outlaws. Live hard. Forge yourself in wilderness. >Return East. Marry again. Re-enter politics. >Become Police Commissioner of New York. Walk the streets at night in disguise. Fire corrupt cops. >Spanish-American War breaks out. >Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Resign immediately. "I will not stay behind a desk." >Form the Rough Riders. Volunteer cavalry. Cowboys, miners, Native Americans, Ivy Leaguers. >Lead them up San Juan Hill. Bullets everywhere. Horse shot. Keep charging on foot. >Return a war hero. >Become Governor of New York. Too reformist. Political bosses want you gone. >"Make him Vice President. That'll shut him up." >President McKinley gets assassinated. You're 42. >Youngest President in American history. >Trust-bust. Break up monopolies. Take on J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller. >Create National Parks. Preserve wilderness. 230 million acres protected. >Build the Panama Canal. "I took the Canal Zone and let Congress debate." >Win Nobel Peace Prize for ending Russo-Japanese War. >Finish term. Hand presidency to Taft. >Go on safari in Africa. Kill lions. Collect specimens for museums. >Return. Taft has betrayed your policies. >Run again. Third party. Bull Moose. >Get shot in the chest before a speech in Milwaukee. Bullet lodged in rib. >Refuse hospital. Speech is 50 pages folded in your pocket. Bullet went through it. >"Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot." >Speak for 90 minutes. Bleeding. Then go to hospital. >Lose election. Split the vote. Wilson wins. >Son Quentin dies in WWI aerial combat. Never recover. >Die in your sleep 1919. Age 60. Vice President Marshall: "Death had to take him sleeping, for if Roosevelt had been awake, there would have been a fight." Leaves behind: The National Parks. The Panama Canal. Trust-busting precedent. The modern presidency. A regiment. A stuffed bear named after him. Proof that the sickly can become titans. The belief that action conquers everything.
