Re “A look at loneliness” (July 22): Michelle Goldberg’s article was a poignant and saddening view of what has become of our society and the role social media plays in it especially for those lost souls whose lives have suffered the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.”
I gained a better understanding of, for lack of a better term, the “lunatic fringe,” about who they are and what led them to believe what they believe and why no amount of external coaxing will change that. The common denominators are loneliness and lack of belonging in their lives.
I’ve run into these folks and I find myself getting upset at them and their reality. No more. After Goldberg’s article, going forward, I’ll replace that feeling with empathy and sadness for them.
guest said, the courts would take too long. so we re trying, again, in the senate to put witnesses in front of the american people in part so they can also make a judgment about what happened here. so it says a lot what about coloradan cory gardner? i haven t been able to talk to him about it in the last couple of weeks. so i don t know where he is but i do think it s going to be very hard for some republicans to vote against having some witness testimony as part of this discussion in the senate. over this past weekend senator bennet, you told a town hall, assuming facts don t change, that you will vote to convict president trump. is that first of all still the case? has anything changed in the last 24, 48 hours? the only thing that s changed is he s underscored the fact he has absolutely no idea what he did what he did was wrong, which is staggering to me. i mean, if any ceo in america had done what donald trump has
that specific criminal acts were committed. these guys don t have that here. they know it. you know it. it s not on paper in the resolution in article one or article two. it s in nothing that s been said here in the last two hours. these facts don t change. this is a completely unprecedented, single party impeachment charade and everybody at home can see that clearly. these things don t change and they won t. i yield back to my friend. mr. armstrong. i yield to my friend from florida. i thank the gentleman for yielding. no evidence, quote, when time asked yermack if he felt there was a connection, yermack was adamant, we never had that feeling. we did not have the feeling this aid was connected to any one specific issue. i seek unanimous consent to enter this time magazine article of 12-10-2019. without objection.

in a really difficult situation, because the president, as was mentioned, is himself potentially liable for obstruction of justice in a broader sense. i m not saying there s the evidence publicly for that, but we also have the mueller two indictments charging conspiracy against a number of russian nationals with ties to the kremlin and their intelligence agency, and participating in that conspiracy could add to additional indictments of individuals, hopefully, as was mentioned, not americans. it strikes me sekulow says i had bad information at the time, i had a mistake. i look at my transcript, it says things happen in cases like this. facts don t change, that s the funny thing. maybe what you were told develops because the president misled sekulow, let s give sekulow the benefit of the doubt about that, but what does that tell you? who else could have misled him? sekulow says in the original
