It is so funny that this guy goes to the palatial estates of the richest Nazis in Europe and all of them almost immediately get sick of him because he's a delusional moron given to hysterical crying fits and never shuts the fuck up. That's the Nazi wheelhouse, and he's too annoying even for that!

In public perception terms, nothing may be as big a liability to Trump as Epstein-Maxwell, so perhaps it was a problem that the 2016 campaign couldn't do anything about it because of the Clintons close personal ties to the same notorious pedophile rapist sex traffickers

No. Bessner gets slagged for minimizing the harms of the current GOP when he's actually arguing that real change requires upending the same institutions that Trump has subverted. It is not cynical to point out that there is essentially no political capacity or will to do that.

Even though Rahm Emanuel wanted to take all the credit for running a bunch of worthless blue dog shitheads, the Democrats won the '06 midterms in a wipeout because a House Republican was a sex pest to congressional pages. This would be the nuclear version of that.

My grandpa, a lifelong defense attorney, was born 103 years ago on this day. My brother interviewed him for a class project and asked why he decided not to join the FBI, which he had begun training for, and he said, "In the end, you find they're cops, too." What a king.

You think Iran is going to launch rockets at the American homeland? Also, has anything happened over the last year and a half that could cause a country to claim that "everyone" is a legitimate target? Might Iran be expressing the exact same logic as the country that attacked them?

No, they all acted butch. In 2003, professional liberals were deathly afraid of being seen as anti-war.
