“No matter what good news shows up, there’s always someone at the top of the thread claiming it won’t have any effect.”
Nevertheless, what is stated is true; I’ve presented information to friends for many years to no effect.
If it was true, there'd be no film. If it was true there'd be no Trump Effect and Bernie wouldn't be snapping at her heels. If it were true, the NYTs would never have broken the email story and Putin wouldn't have let it be known that he has 20,000 deleted emails and the FBI investigation would never have been pursued at all.
When the dime finally drops, you'll be nowhere to be found. It's easy to sneer at hard, patient and courageous work against huge odds - most of the time you get to say "I told you so" against people showing tremendous courage. But that's not wisdom - it's far from wisdom. Vegas might admire it, but that's it. God spits at it.
