Basically, CBS, it’s like writing an obituary for Al Capone and mentioning only that he was jailed for tax evasion.

Does anyone else think the Lions’ Super Bowl window closed when they blew the 17-point lead in San Francisco because coach had to go for it on 4th down 17 times? The record the next year was a mirage, as was proven when Washington kicked their asses at Ford Field in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Just in case anyone’s wondering I’m not the least bit depressed, and it is my considered opinion that the Trump Administration either harbors or ignores child rapists.

A quote from Noel Casler's column, linked here: "We are casting off nations we are supposed to be helping develop, reneging on decades of investment and promises, while spitting in the face of the suffering. Our retreat on the world stage was caused by shattering USAID. This is about morality and idealism, and how we define ourselves as a people. That is what this election is about this midterm season."

"no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals, just warriors.
The ideological clowns are out. The patriotic cowboys are in, with testosterone testing on top."
Hearing the Secretary of Defense address our troops this way is degrading, both to the men and women sitting in that room and to the nation they serve.
This drunken frat boy is in so far over his head it isn't even funny.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
