Yeah, but it is kinda British in a way, despite having broken away from England, what with all that fantasizing for such a long time about (and abusing, stealing, and killing on the basis of) “white Anglo-Saxon” superiority.

As soon as someone mentions the ‘deep state’, they lose credibility with me. There is no ‘deep state’, there’s just the stability of career government officials who put their oath to the Constitution above that of any one party or President.

I listened to the Impeachment proceedings today because I was driving cross-country. At some point while listening to the Republicans make fools of themselves, I realized we are living in an absurdist dystopia. It’s not enough that everything is shit, it has to be ridiculous too.

Mod Note: Folks are entitled to their opinion provided that it is within the guidelines, without being personally attacked or bullied for it. If you want to take issue with an opinion, you are free to do so, but debate the position, don’t attack the person.
Additionally: We are not Quora and do not require credentials to posit an opinion. If someone chooses to provide such information, fine, but if they do not do so, then do not ask them to - instead, don’t assume they have any special knowledge or expertise and treat their opinions with the appropriate weight in light of that fact.
Thank you.

- The fact he risked his life in voluntary service to his country.
Smearing those who choose to put country ahead of personal gain for no good reason is WAY more ill-mannered and disgusting than challenging someone’s qualifications.
