Agree that this congressional cmte hearing is an terrible embarrassment. Even tho we as anons are not directly responsible for the proceedings and profoundly disagree with the way they are being handled, there is still a sense of responsibility many of us feel–and a desire to set things right. I personally want to apologize to Mr. Whitaker and thank him for his service under difficult circumstances.

A proceeding like this really points to the difference between (((them))) and us. We might advocate severe penalties for ultimate crimes. But we advocate above all the rule of law over the rule of the mob. The dems have made a mockery of the rule of law in the service of creating the kind of chaos designed to deliberating destroy everything for which our country stands.

It is very difficult to witness this Star Chamber in modern times. But it does renew my resolve to persist in doing what we do on this Board. Doing what we can do to Make America Great Again.

Yeah, I just called it a Star Chamber.

Re "deranged": that's why they call if Trump Derangement Syndrome.

(Can't wait until that diagnosis makes it into some future edition of the DSM.)

Nice quads, anon.

Re "concern" for children:

Some people may buy their concern, because Dems equate personhood with personality. So they genuinely relate better to older children, who have more fully developed personalities, than to babies (who, while individuals even at birth, cannot express it in a way that Dems relate to).

This is not an apology to that point of view, just an explanation for why they believe themselves to have real concern for "real" (older) children. And why others with a similar outlook may buy their logic.

Two things: there are dems and dems.

Vast majority are deluded people who (IMO) have high flung ideals but don't live up to them. So they rationalize absolutely EVERYTHING. Re traffickers: they will tell you (and themselves) it's exaggerated, the Repub's are lying, etc., in the interests of preserving their self-image as inclusive, caring people. They will refuse to entertain any other explanations. I know a lot of people like this. They reinforce one another's opinions and just never talk to anyone who holds a different view. (They also hate people like that.)

The other dems are the ones who KNOW. And are getting a one-way ticket to GITMO.

I have digs to finish but it's hard to tear myself away from the harrowing Whitaker spectacle. TYB for your efforts.

IDK, haven't been tracking Reiner. Just really remember that flick because there was something creepy about it. Now that I think about it, I didn't like it because it deliberately mocked the male coming-of-age experience. Showed boys not becoming men but becoming a caricature of a man (an aimless, sex-obsessed, "groupthink" follower).

I was in a meditation group that had some diehard Dem party folks. Years went by, they never changed. I didn't say much but enough that they knew I wasn't one of them. They would be friendly sometimes and then snap back into their Dem personas. The dissonance was unpleasant for them and they projected it on the nail that stuck up.

Even when you are having that experience, it's hard to believe. You think, "these people know me, they know I'm decent, etc." And yes they do. But the FORGET. Over and over again. It's remarkable. I did finally have to leave.

Dumb remark, anon. But agree that many women aren't suited to politics. But then again, there's women like Phyliss Schlafly (sp for sure!).
