“Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding.”
“As the audience erupts with applause, the camera pans over to Favre as he claps slowly before rubbing his hands together,” the Post reported, arguing that Favre’s failure to sufficiently gush over Jenner made the ceremony “uncomfortable for everyone.”This is eerily reminiscent of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago,
in which the director of a Moscow paper factory received a ten-year sentence for sitting down at the eleven-minute mark of a standing ovation to Joseph Stalin.

Your Say
Better keep your head down, if you intend to keep it. It changed right before your very eyes, and it's not done yet, not by a long shot, in fact it's just beginning.
You live in Crimeland, not america.
Criminals are everywhere, and they look just like you. Therefore, to be safe, you must treat everyone as a criminal, or else risk being victimized.
Get out of the loop anyway you can as fast as you can, or stay where you are and become a victim.
Watch the show from the little holes in the wall, never stick your head up very far, the holes that are big enough for a gun barrel.
If they don't know the secret handshake they don't get through the castle walls.
You've been warned.
Deny reality at your own peril.

Fidarsi è bene ma non fidarsi è meglio.
To trust is good but not to trust is better.
