I'm old enough to remember when CNN and Jake Tapper had a "roundtable" where the jagoffs in Broward County were treated like heroes who then got to slam Marco Rubio.

Why is the issue being raised now? Did I miss something?

I posted a link about the security guard who hid rather than helped being charged criminally.

An attempt to piss people off?

Guatemalans kicked me out of their country once.
Were any of them named Agador Spartacus? Were you fearful of their Guatamalan-ness..... their natural heat?

It was more mind-blowing to me that Biden ran in the primary against Michael freaking Dukakis, 32 years prior to the upcoming election.

It's amazing to me how these epic, huge, history-shaping battles so often come down to the actions and bravery of such a small handful of people.

Overlord possibly would have failed if a handful of Rangers at Pointe du Hoc hadn't scrambled up sheer cliffs 100' high to silence the guns raining death down on Omaha Beach with impunity.
I know there's some more recent scholarship that indicates this might not be true about Pointe du Hoc, but for the time being I choose to not believe that. :wink:

“He is really into climate change, and I think that’s great. What he really wants and what he really feels warmly about is the future. He wants to make sure future generations have climate that is good climate, as opposed to a disaster, and I agree.”

"I did say, ‘Well, the United States right now has among the cleanest climates there are based on all statistics.’ And it’s even getting better because I agree with that we want the best water, the cleanest water. It’s crystal clean, has to be crystal clean clear.”

Trump really has no idea what's going on with the Irish border or the wants of the Irish governments.

Didn't see your tweet Eddy, but here is an article about the visit.

I know so much about nuclear weapons. Don't forget I'm the one who gets trained and has to study this.
