My guess: reporting on the Biden administration is probably more dull and boring than recounting the zany antics of the Trump administration.

To be fair, he did punch out Matt Cooke. That earns a bit of karma.

It’s also worth noting that Kane has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, being close to $27million in debt; and was sued by a lender after that filing, where they’re asking for $15m - an alleged fraud of $1.5m, with 10x damages.

Do you mean the ones that were investigated and found to be untrue?

Yeah, why don’t they suspend him for his wife lying about him?

I was. Death comes for us all and his should’ve happened in jail serving a life sentence for war crimes.

His Iraq performance AFTER Mai Lai is how you know his VAGUE REGRETS were performative. His bones were made, career sundowning, kids grown, educated and gone...what other non-excuses did he have?!

Please don’t be THAT guy - the one reflexively defending other Black men without regard to what they’ve done. Our brains gather and weigh information against our individual moral code at the speed of micro-milliseconds. The more education, exposure, experience and training we get enables us to do it even faster. Our…

I remember watching his briefing to the UN very clearly. I had just seen a “Frontline” episode where they analyzed Iraqi intelligence around centrifuges and yellowcake uranium. They had a ton of scientists who basically concluded that the aluminum tubes that they received could never be used to enrich uranium, and the…

Oh he was a slimy piece of shit. The way he dangled half apologies and partial truths after the Bush administration worked wonders. You see people here on these comments “well, he sort of acknowledged that his choices directly killed hundreds of thousands and destabilized the globe so that makes him COMPLEX!”

Mistakes?

My guess?

Weird, I would have wanted to see both groups hang for their crimes.

I have to wonder how old some of these people in line to shit on his corpse are, or how aware they were of what was going on back in the early 2000s

I get where you are coming from, but the dude investigated the Mai Lai Massacre back in the 70s when he was far, far away from Secretary of State, and he decided the soldiers didn’t do anything wrong...20 years later, he reached a different conclusion.

“Hey Cheney, wait a goddamned minute!. We can’t do that seriously fucked up shit you want to do, but we can certainly do some other really fucked up shit to other brown people.”

Powell investigated the My Lai massacre, in which hundreds of people—mostly women and children—were killed by a group of U.S. soldiers. At the time, Powell concluded that the soldiers had done nothing wrong, but in his 1995 memoir, he had a different take.

Didn’t know that about his involvement in Mai Lai. Between that and his involvement in Iraq, I think we can safely say he had a serious case of careerist moral cowardice whenever it mattered most.

He’s not escaping that final war crimes court. bye bitch. 

but his involvement in the Iraq War—more specifically, a 2003 U.N. speech he delivered that used flawed intelligence to make the case for war—tarnished his credibility in many people’s eyes.

Whats with this weak take? Seems more like a loving eulogy than a real examination of this man and the very real harm he caused. I looked at the byline to see who was responsible and damn Michael, def expected something a bit more hard hitting from you.
