I'd call it an attempted beatdown. Z took no sh*t, and had it been a real 2-on-1, my money'd have been on him.

Yes, Congresswoman. Please put out a statement, strongly worded. Your constituency is listening.

Actually, worse. Munich was Munich 2025. The meeting in KSA last week was Molotov-Ribbentrop. This would be more like the Nazis sitting out invading Poland (for a ransom) but blaming the Poles for defending themsleves during the USSR invasion from the east.

Would like to see movement in Congress toward subpoenaing him. I know he'll be shielded and ignore it, but issue it anyway. Make nothing easy.

Bill Burr always picks his spots. BB Playbook 101: support the worst people until the moment you'll be called on the deck for it; then act like a courageous defender of L&O. A KEY, longtime proponent of Unitary Executive ideology. If he wants to play antihero now, great; I won't trust him.

Normalization will include, in-between carving sessions (Donald's attention span) convos like: "Vlad...don't you think Little Marco's more handsome than Ulrich (Ribbentrop)? I mean, Ulrich was taller--what a guy, terrific, tall man. Terrific. But Marco's adorable--I could put him in my pocket..."

Wish I disagreed but cannot. I might tweak that to say "enraged or stoked fear in." I've lost count how many people I've known--none who considered themselves racist, of course--or observed over the past 15 years who were swallowed whole by the Birther Hoax and/or "Obama's a secret Muslim" insanity.

For some reason, Cipolla's 3rd law re: frequency distribution of stupid people came to mind. I'm sure it's just me.
