   'Night everyone. Still sorting tech stuff out a little.

   How do we wake up every morning to these atrocities? How do we sleep? It's so hard, but we will find ways to deal and fight this stuff.

   I'm glad at least Maddow did her A-Block on shaming members of Congress. That was the only place on TV where I've seen someone actually say, "This can help, try this."

   And before you comment without fully understanding what I just said, watch the segment.

     @MelodyWainscott @GottaLaff timely counter and reminder that most of the MAGAty narcissistic psychopaths entirely lack any sense of guilt, or shame.

     They only fear transactional retribution, or anger from a mob of enraged victims.

     Watched Maddow’s A block on shaming members of Congress.

     I mean, really, is there a more uncomfortable and undesirable emotion than shame? Public humiliation? Embarrassment?

     Guilt is a powerful negative emotion as well.

     I think Maddow is spot on.

     Pounding officials daily with questions designed to promote feelings of guilt and shame is a great idea.

     I’m going to talk to my therapist about provoking shame through questioning next week for resources.
