And didn't they hang Ribbentrop (Nazi foreign minister) for crimes against peace and conspiring to wage wars of aggression? Trump's justification's for military action against Venezuela has less basis than Hitler's justification for initiating war against Poland in 1939.

these boats. But Trump is the president and this horseshit is discussed as if there might be something to it. The only credibility this administration has with respect to the Venezuelan affair is its raw power.

I look at Megyn Kelly and Karoline Leavitt and I see in my mind one of those horror movies in which a whole town is composed of clones bred for some evil purpose.

in our military that rise to the highest levels. An even worse example is retired general Michael Flynn whose final rank as lieutenant general continues to baffle and alarm me.

To parphrase Groucho Marx, That's my argument, cut military spending.

'furiously violent or out of control'. Berserkers are attested to in numerous Old Norse sources."

But I'd greatly appreciate if someone could create a picture or perhaps video of Hegseth in berserker mode.

"In the Old Norse written corpus, berserkers (Old Norse: berserkir) were Scandinavian warriors who were said to have fought in a trance-like fury, a characteristic which later gave rise to the modern English adjective berserk

I can read Bradley's biography. I can view his picture. The people on the boat are abstractions. If Bradley was in fact responsible I hope that someday he will be brought to justice. But today my feeling for him is one of pity for a man who had the the intelligence and strength to say no and

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow—
‘Shadow,’ said he,
‘Where can it be—
This land of Eldorado?’

‘Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,’
The shade replied,—
‘If you seek for Eldorado!

But he grew old—
This knight so bold—
And o’er his heart a shadow—
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
