Agreed. I figured that Vietnam should have been the ultimate lesson.

a/k/a trolling. 

Exactly. My point is that we have to see out our existing obligations but stop pretending war is easy, and only get involved when we really, really need to (like WWII).

College is well into my rearview mirror, but I have to imagine my psych professors are excited to have such a textbook definition of a narcissist.

Which means we can hire private mercenaries to do more of it ourselves.  Profit! /s

I agree with you, but the key to doing that is to prospectively stop being the world police.

He’ll be out of office before it bites him and that’s all he cares about. The GOP will blame Obama because....reasons, and that will be that. It’s also setting up our next war, which the military industrial complex loves. It’s a win-win for the GOP and warmongers, and isn’t that what matters?

Yes. I think he (along with Clinton and the Blue Dog wing) is one of the catalysts of the Dem’s shifts to the right and the meet-them-halfway strategy, no matter where the Republicans position themselves.  It was temporarily effective to win an election, but then spectacularly backfired as Dems became viewed as weak.

And that’s fine. But don’t destroy public lands and archeological sites, expect everyone to steer clear of your photo shoot, get angry when we get in “your” shot, ask for free shit, extort people to get your way, etc.

I’d also add that he’s forgiving her BECAUSE she is going to jail.

You seem to assume that they have shame. They will be shocked and appalled when Democrats do it. The DOJ will investigate and indict them.

If we dedicated some of our military budget used for the ME and Persia to renewables, we wouldn’t have to worry about securing sources of oil so much.

We don’t even know if the transcript is real. Remember Barr’s summary of the Mueller report and the media accepted it as gospel.  I can only imagine what he really said.

These same people who demand David Chappelle levels of proof for Trump will jump on any old conspiracy theory about Clinton or Obama. 

Strange how these are NOT exploitation:

Exactly, a part of his act to distract.

I think it’s part of his act- he intentionally messes up his hair and generally acts like a buffoon to disarm people and relate to the common man. The difference between Boris and Trump is that Boris knows exactly what he’s doing.

The referendum was not binding and parliament represents the people.

Boris will continue to bend norms, ignore laws, etc. to bomb out of the EU. He wants disaster economics so he can use the economic emergency to sell assets, privatize, cut taxes, reduce benefits, etc. under the guise of an economic emergency.  Any reasonable deal will prevent that from fully occurring and won’t be…
