It is undoubtedly grounds for considering a person's qualifications for a job. It is never grounds for dehumanizing somebody.

He's an educated and competent adult. That's is about as much as one can hope for.

In the end, Wiesel's humanitarianism didn't extend to Palestinians. And that damaged his legacy.

Well, it's a general standard. I'm not an expert on the details they might use as a proof standard. But there is deliberate and systemic destruction of a protected class, that's the general definition.

Agreed. But in this case they won't "get" anything, realistically. I'm just suggesting analytically there is substantial proof for genocide.

There is a case for genocide. I am not sure I agree with your analysis.

Quite right. Fine to be a free thinker. But that might not be the best type to manage the massive FDA.

This is true. However I'm a US citizen living abroad (Vietnam). For me, marriage is largely the reason but nobody is obliged to "stay" in their home country to make it better. Many things come before country for me.

The best possible outcome is that American voters learn hard lessons on what Trump style authoritarianism brings. I don't wish hardship on anyone, but if it leads to people recognizing Trumpism brings failure, that's positive.

The darkest night is just before dawn. Trumpism, and the extremism, incompetence and corruption it will bring, just might be the medicine America needs to wake up

Republicans govern every branch of government. It is a mandate. I don't like it, but I believe that Americans should get exactly what they voted for.

As an old attorney, from the US, I have mixed feelings. A good dose of lawlessness and corruption might be exactly what Americans need to wisen up.

Twitter is a cesspool of hate. I don't want a social community like that.

Well it's interesting. History has a lot of different definitions. The ancient Greeks thought history written had to be contemporaneous and personal. Writing history as past events, records, or statistics would not have made sense to them.

That's so environmentally irresponsible.
