If I’m not mistaken Turkey will be thrilled with this plan. They have a long history of really embracing Kurdish rebels.

It’s easy to forget that Marsha Blackburn is a senator and wowza is she not bright.

Another case of polliwoe. Instead of getting it in pools you get it by reading your first poll numbers.

He was powerfully stupid on top of being a confirmed pedophile. Johnson has the first one of these in the bag, jury out on the second…

4x worse than the average driver is bad. 4x worse than a Maryland driver is end of the world type shit.

I ordered this last week thinking I’d have a couple days to read. Love the new preface.

This would be fun to watch. I think he gets confirmed because, while all senators would love to humiliate him, they would be more pleased to not see him again. He might even garner a few dems (jk).

You spelled “medicate” wrong.

I missed Patel on the ice. Was he on the third reich, sorry, I meant line?

I’m lucky enough to call Jess a friend. She is the perfect candidate for this district. She understands the military as a vet and she doesn’t put up with anyone’s BS. Go get ‘em. Also, if you can, throw a little money her way.

Weird description. I’ll take that “moral snob” moniker. Better than amoral anything…

Fixated on a memorial arch
Loved watching his monuments being built (reacted a large scaffold to keep watch)
His end of life partner was trafficked to him and Much much younger.
Charming
Difference from dear leader? Smart

I just finished reading King Leopold’s Ghost by Adam Hochchild. Can’t recommend it enough. Some amazing facts about Leopold:
Obsessed with having his own (personal) colony.
Involved with a child rape ring that also included a member of the British royal family.
No taste in music.

The only reason we ever had an assault weapon ban was because people were scared of black people owning them. I hate the second amendment but love to see it exercised equally!

Reminds me of when Bob Kraft (Patriots Owner) met Vladimir Putin who asked to see one of the Super Bowl rings and once Kraft handed it to him Putin put it in his pocket and never returned it.

I’m reading an amazing book about one of the worst people in history (King Leopold II) and this paragraph really stood out in the similarities to our dear leader.

For those who hate “illegal” immigrants, they might want to consider building up countries instead of setting them on fire.

Excited to listen to this. I went to high school with a ton of really smart people but Molly was the smartest!

Why Doesn’t America Have Universal Health Care? One Word: Race (Published 2019) The nation’s first federal health care program served freedmen after the Civil War. From the beginning, white legislators argued it would breed dependence.

Sadly there is a more insidious reason:

Pretty dramatic move to get rid of Wink Martindale if you ask me.

when I worked in the senate it wasn’t any better. In 2003 we still had a 100yo Strom Thurmond and decrepit Jesse helms rolling around.
