Yes indeed, but I don't actually know what is going on there either.

And the best threat Dems can make against everyone in the Administration is that they will hold them accountable for what they are doing now, after the midterms. Make them actually think they don't just have Trump and Miller to fear.

Here there are two (at least) example-less assertions, one about "our" expectations, and, underlying that, the idea that sufficiently good art can redeem someone from bad behavior. But I don't think art and bad behavior are connected in that weird transactional way at all.

Most Americans don't have the faintest idea what the ICC is, so to deal with this problem here they prepped people on what UN agencies & the ICC do.
I'd submit that without knowing how exactly they prepped them, these answers are meaningless. Let Fox news prep people and you get different results.

But is it possible to be rich today, with no moderating force, and kindhearted? Obviously some people concentrate on giving their money away, but that's not Wooster.

I meant lawyer having dinner with the judge as the resolution seems brazenly corrupt.
