What is with the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal calling less than a day of discussion “marathon talks?“

Yep! Unable to sleep at all basically. I remember I had to sleep in the recliner every night and take many rx cough meds and an inhaler just to sleep for a few fitful hours.

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart.

And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

Uffda. I had it a few years ago and did not realize how insanely tired it makes you. And vomiting not from nausea but from coughing fits? Do not recommend.
