"lets just move on as a country from the bush era torture" predictably did not heal the nation, it just empowered the torturers to grow bolder and entrench their power.

Damn you Aaron Sorkin, you destroyer of politics! These guys have no freaking idea about the coalitions that compose the Democratic Party. You sideline the 1st Black woman Vice-President for a generic white candidate, & you might as well hand Trump a landslide victory.

After decades of activism, Joe Biden’s administration finally was the one to ban USDA’s Wildlife Services division from deploying cyanide bombs on federal BLM lands. These things have killed pets and injured recreationists, and killing carnivores is bad policy anyway. Biden got it done.

Working for Bloomberg in late 1990s. Mining co. called Bre-X on Borneo. Wall Street had put a $2bln valuation on its "find of the century." Went to site in jungle. Clear there was no gold. NY-based Bloomberg editor: "Trust you or Goldman Sachs? I'm trusting Goldman." Spiked. Blew up a week later.

I once wrote a fact check of a Morgan Spurlock book. He included what he said was a direct quote from the FDA that aspartame causes cancer. I checked the footnote. An FDA newsletter did publish that claim — but *only to specifically refute it*. That’s basically how Barrett quotes Madison here.

The "Ukraine never in NATO" crowd seems to think they're avoiding confrontation with Russia, but they're actually encouraging Russia in a confrontation that's well underway. Events are past the point where "don't make Russia nervous, don't push back, or they might get aggressive" becomes denial.
