Now can you please return from fantasy-land and name one successful peace deal with a nuclear-armed enemy which has been achieved with the same criteria before a meeting of the leaders took place. Let me save you the trouble. You can't. You seem to regard the office of the presidency with some...

What concessions did we get from Iran? And how are hostage releases, two meetings over the DMZ between Moon and Kim, a total cease of missile tests and a signed agreement on denuclearization not concessions? Especially when the only thing given in return (and only yesterday) is a cessation of...

That won't do, sorry. Exactly what criteria do you think is requisite?

In light of history and common sense, it's not just nitpicking, it's blatantly hypocritical propaganda.

On what basis?

Exactly. And the left here is just picking up on the not-so-subtle cues and subconsciously (or not) following press-release guidelines. What they don't realize is that WE KNOW that angle of criticism is just a desperate convolution to make this seem like a bad thing. Never mind the hostages we...

Well, that's you. And that's great, really. Integrity is hard to come by, if you can call putting reputation first integrity. But you have to admit the folly in expecting others to feel the same obligation to integrity as you do. Especially people like Al freakin' Franken. Whether these men are...

There's nothing obvious about it. The wording of several of their statements makes it plain they don't (or didn't) think they were doing anything criminal, but they're sorry they offended anyone. Not wanting to drag out their time in the spotlight of shame, knowing the venomous nature of what...

"They would fight for truth..." Sorry for saying so, but that's a naive sentiment. Shame is a powerful weapon that can take out the innocent as quickly as the guilty, and fighting for truth in a lynch-mob atmosphere is the province of the extraordinary. Most people are content to keep their...

And exactly when has that occurred over the last couple months? I don't recall any of these fellows facing their accusers in a court of law yet. But they've already been convicted in the court of public opinion. Lauer got fired and will always be a scuzz. Franken will probably be fired by...

I don't remember her testimony, oddly enough. The witness that sticks with me after all these years is John Doggett (sp?). He was really pissed off, and said as much. I remember being both surprised and impressed by his outrage as the inquisitors were telling him to calm down. "No, god damn it...

It's not a new problem. I was coming of age in the late 80's, early 90's, and PC culture was already well-established when it came to sexual harassment. The Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings were the first manifestation of it. I was just a high school kid working an evening job as a...

Probably, Tonto. Some people enjoy dining on the regurgitated leftovers from his campaign, apparently.

Did you look into any of the information in that article?

If Hillary is out of the question and you can live with Trump, you ought to vote Trump. Voting for Stein won't accomplish anything significant except to put the power of your vote in Hillary's favor. It's one less vote for the only one who can beat her. I'm all for boosting third parties...
