    Milley took a strategy from Nazi Rudolf Hess

    Rudolf Walter Richard Hess (Heß in German; 26 April 1894 – 17 August 1987) was a German politician and a leading member of the Nazi Party in Nazi Germany. Appointed Deputy Führer to Adolf Hitler in 1933, Hess served in that position until 1941, when he flew solo to Scotland in an attempt to negotiate peace with the United Kingdom during World War II. He was taken prisoner and eventually convicted of crimes against peace, serving a life sentence until his suicide in 1987.

  2. Except that the monster was not living under anyone's bed, he was operating from Oval Office of the West Wing, and Milley's alarm was shared throughout the highest ranks of the monster's administration.

    Other than that, yeah, what you said.

    Trump’s Military Record Makes Milley’s Reported Intervention Even More Alarming

    Despite his bluster, the former president did not act like a trigger-happy leader eager for needless conflict abroad.

    It's always been known, since before the Greeks that political polarisation leads to personality types forming camps.

    These personality types have evolved for a reason as this provides the best average protection for the group. They needs to be kept mixed up, not allowed to settle. Conservatism club is later in life thing, life expectancy average was 35-40 if very lucky so it never had much sway till recently.

  8. Had to look him up. He posited on the fear of death, no? Republicans, as a group, have a complicated relationship with death. On the one hand, they're afraid of everything. And on the other, so many of them are waiting for end times, rapture or whatever. How, then, can they possibly be expected to know up from down? They fear what they don't know, and they don't know much of anything. They rely on faith-based politics, economics and science. They fabricate their own reality because they can't cope with the one imposed on all of us.

    You have the autism bad today eh?

    The fix is easy enough, the return of the fairness doctrine. That and making party whipped voting a no-no.

    Individual reps making their best determination for the people who elected them to represent them.
