For some and I pray it is many Dionne Warwick set the tone for individual freedom in personal relationships with her song Promises, Promises. In these political currents it may apply to those who realize the most dependable promises are the ones we make to ourselves. Not the promises made to us.
Released November 1, 1968. Studio A&R NYC. Writers, producers: Burt Bacharach, Hal David.
First verse may say it all.
Promises, promises
I'm all through with promises, promises now
I don't know how I got the nerve to walk out*
If I shout, remember I feel free
Now I can look at myself and be proud.
*For civic recognition: Brandon Straka began a movement (#WalkAway) of enlightened ex democrats et. al. May 26th, 2018. Technically I say that he has served and paid for that service when jailed demonstrating for his country, with honor.

In the Manufacturer's Design Specifications (Human Beings) find the paragraph on the "HAYWIRE" switch. My manual is so old the writing is obscured but it seems to say, "no off setting".

Please bear with me as I venture for only a moment in my vision of Donald J Trump's vision (my assumption) of America. I believe I can convey the essence by being direct to the point in an abstractly constructed question. The question, if I am correct, clears away intellectual diversions. What is the potential productive capability and achievable capacity of all American citizens who want to work with their vision untethered? If it is of similar drive and self-motivation as his own, the debt (and deficit) can become things of the past sooner than later. That last statement is my opinion. Enjoy it if you like. Shrug it off if you don't like. Free will in a free society provides the opportunities to do what you want and think what you want. As long as you do not hurt someone doing that freedom stuff.

There is always the possibility that the Big Beautiful Bill that requires a lot of promises fulfilled by those voting on the Bill which results in the elevation of its moniker to "fat pickings" shall confront a timely resurrection of DOGE which reduces the Bill to "slim pickings". A hope, for the current momentarily (yes, a dynamic moment) final implementation. I say prayers.
