"Does Rory really think his duties to his own children are the same as his duties to a stranger who lives thousands of miles away?"
I believe Jesus said something about that. Can't remember. Hmmm. What could have been?

Over the last 45 years, 50 trillion dollars have been ripped from the middle and lower classes and handed to the top .1%. How about we talk about cancelling school breakfast and lunch programs right after we get the 50 trillion back?

The people who were pardoned shouldn't be asked to carry this load for the rest of us. At best, being attacked by the new administration would mean financial ruin. Any confidence we may have had in the federal judiciary seems unjustified now in light of recent events.

My grumpy take: Heroes are for children. I admire some people's work, but I don't pretend to know what they are/were to the core.

For me, it's something like Asshat. It varies.
This won't happen, because it would be a giant blue state, or, better yet, many blue states, in which case the Senate would be in dem control for decades.

Sorry, this doesn't make sense. Of course many PDs need to be reformed, but that has nothing to do with how much money FDs and PDs need for their respective missions.

Thank you for reminding me that I have one billionth of the power a billionaire has. I will treasure it.
Not a personal dig, I just think you don't really have a point here.

No, I don't think so. This one seems reasonably coherent, though clearly wrong-headed. There are better examples of his intellectual bankruptcy elsewhere.
