I know it is not nice to make fun of someone’s looks but when he is an a$€ hat like this guy it really does make it hard. I will never get used to those eyes ! I mean if you ran into him you would be forgiven for crossing the road in order to escape.

They have a hard on for the way he (and other dicktators) operate (and how they have executed on it) but agreed these guys are in weakling class when it comes to their economic heft.

I am afraid I found the new superman movie disappointing. Red October is a better bet!

Frankly I find such moves quite disgusting. Erasing people’s contributions is reprehensible. But that’s the trend isn’t it?

I will admit that more and more I align with you in many instances and really enjoy your point of view and how you put it across in a manner that encourages a conversation (much as how this is described in Jonathan Rauch’s excellent book The Constitution of knowledge). Thanks for being there!

It’s even possible that some might face their own “Nuremberg” moment or at least that’s how it plays out in my fantasy :)

It’s a terrible display of waste. It’s one more instance of Trump’s pathological need for self-aggrandizement and, the irony, someone who avoided military service due to bone spurs.

Your phrase “gratuitous cruelty and indifference to life” really hit the nail on the head. This seems to totally capture Stephen Miller’s driving force every evening he climbs out of his coffin.

Completely agree. If the objective is to decrease the competitiveness of the US, then they are on track. There really would appear to be no cure for stupid!

That does indeed make you go wow. In what way is this “feel good”.

I meant to type “….look forward to your…..” and not “you”. Please add an edit feature onto this :) Serves me right for not putting my glasses on.

Just to echo the thanks of others. I really and truly look forward to you intelligence analysis of the various situations we find ourselves in. I have long lamented for decline in empathy in the US and elsewhere. You practice what I would compassionate conservatism and wish more would follow you

His reference to more masculine energy was beyond cringe-worthy. It was as if he was seeking Joe ( and his audiences’ ) approval like a dog looking to its owner for treats.

I can’t believe it but this guy , who is woefully deficient in all the skills and qualities for such a critical role, is actually going to be confirmed. It’s simply unbelievable.

Agree. Just as with Trump, Vlad will view him as another “useful idiot”. Listening to the Republican sides ask about whether he knows how many bullets fit into a certain gun is simply ridiculous! This is simply another example of how low the standards are dropping.

Yes I was going to add that his appointment would make enemies rub their hands together with glee! Talking about shooting yourself in the head with such an appointment!

It’s beyond disgusting to invoke MLK Jr in support of this. Folks like this need a good spanking (in the voting booth).
