Reagan stated one of the pillars of modern conservatism is personal responsibility. Explain how, “the liberals made me do it.” aligns with this philosophy. Republicans drafted Nixon, courted the religious right, and said nothing to refute the lies spread by conservative media. Own your choices.

The behavior was shocking for a Senator? Two R senators were illegally given info stating a D senator had a son who was homosexual. They privately harassed the D senator until he announced his retirement. The D senator shot himself in his senate office… in 1952. Spare me your righteous indignation.

1) How about; “HUAC was awful-AND they were right about Hiss. Where as but negates everything that comes before it, and affirms both statements are equally true.

2) As a side note, one of the most compliant Hollywood witness for HUAC was Bertolt Brecht, who fled to Europe the day after testifying, and lived out his life in East Berlin. So your sentence should read; “HUAC was awful-and they let the actual Russian spy in Hollywood get away.

Tom Nicholas hates Nashville, you dislike The Brutalist. Somebody hide Citizen Kane, Throne of Blood, and The Seventh Seal.

David, I respectfully submit this: Pundits who go on MSNBC, CNN etc. and criticize minutiae in (D) candidates because they are not a combo of FDR, Truman, JFK, and Carter are more responsible than “We” are for this mess. The pundit class planted doubt in independent voters in 2024 cycle, not “We”.

It was reported that everyone in the Army received a three day weekend in honor of the birthday…except these men and woman who were forced to go into work, and march. If true, it would explain a lot about the vibe.

Worked in Jackson Hole Wyoming in the late 80’s/early 90’s. I was walking around the shops down town and waded through a large crowd of people not moving…right into the secret service detail of Pres Bush. My 19/20 y.o. self was terrified I would get tackled for bumping into one of the agents.

His only baseball crime is specifically posted as violation of baseball rules, and is on the door of every clubhouse he ever walked into. He met and knew people personally involved in the Blacksox scandal, and knew the direct and indirect consequences of his only baseball crime, and still did it.

Narcissism passing as thoughtful insight. Easy to bail when you have millions. Entitled, spoiled, rich brat buying zone 1 property in London from entitled, spoiled, rich Russian oligarch. She will begin her passionate defense of American democracy from the safety of the tea room at Harrods in 3,2,1
