I won't shut up. And heaven knows I certainly have annoyed enough people here in my day!Reminds me of another obnoxious rummy quote.
"Oh, that's Old Europe." Said with a smirk.
Welcome to DU, geretogo!
Glad you're here! This bastard makes me boil! Arrogant schmuck! I saw that documentary about him - "The Unknown Knowns." NEVER have I heard such pretzel logic. Such convoluted gobbledygook. He can sure talk a polluted ocean-full. No wonder so many have been swayed. You get lost in the wild, roaming, twisty-turny wording that takes you absolutely nowhere. But it's a lot of fancy-sounding phrases and allegedly-profound NONSENSE. He could have been the Jabberwock. The chapter in "Alice in Wonderland" could have been "rummywocky." Schmuck.
Ironically, he's one of the very few in that den of PNAC iniquity who actually, astoundingly, DID wear his country's uniform. He actually did serve. HOWEVER, that was - for him - luckily-timed. He served in the military conveniently BETWEEN wars. I think it was between Korea and Vietnam that his tour of duty was. So yeah, he served, but he never saw combat. Never put his ass in harm's way. Never got his hands dirty. How nice for him. So he still never understood what war is. Never lost any comrades in the foxhole or the tank, never got shot at. Never faced what he sent thousands of our boys and girls, our sons and daughters, our most precious treasures, over to that hell hole to face. So he's still as much of a candy-ass and a fop and a pussy and a chickenhawk as any of 'em, in my opinion.
Pardon my coarse language. But considering the subject, I think he's earned it. AND worse!
We know where his head is.
It's in the area around his descending colon, and east, west, south and north somewhat.
Hope she has better luck with scalia and his fellow vermin than she did with Citizens United.
She was the one who argued against it before the high court when she was solicitor general. So she's the one who lost the case for the rest of us. President Obama said at the time of her nomination he thought she was really swell as a "consensus builder." Well, she did a piss poor job on that trying to win the case against Citizens United, thankyouverymuch.
Not all that impressed with Associate Justice Elena.
Well, I am holding out high hopes for you, laserhaas!
I think we ALL are! We know you have a winning hand. It's just the panel you'll be addressing, whose members tend to have their vision clouded by dancing dollars and their ears filled with wax (or maybe little teeny rolled up pieces of dancing dollars.
I hope you win. I would LOVE to see a perp walk or two. jamie dimon and lloyd blankfein are among the top two who come to mind. Besides myth wrongney and friends, of course!
That's what just burns me up. WHO is taking the government's case here?
I remember when President Obama picked Elena Kagan as a Supreme Court justice. One of his reasons - as Solicitor General, it had been her job to argue on the White House's behalf before the Supreme Court. He said she was a terrific consensus-builder. Well, I'm wondering what he was smoking that day. Kagan represented the government in the Citizens United case. What kind of consensus did she build in that one? Evidently NOT so terrific. She lost the freakin' case! I haven't been an Elena Kagan fan ever since.
Welcome to DU, Burf-_-!
Glad you're here! I must say I hope you're correct but I've seldom lost money betting on THIS Supreme Court leaning too far to the wrong.
Welcome to DU, homegirl!
Great to have you join us! Unfortunately, I fear you'd be waiting til you're covered in cobwebs. As I noted in another post here - when is the last time any of us remembers a corporate CEO was held accountable for some malfeasance his/her corporation committed? Every bankster we're aware of is still walking free, enjoying the high life, and forced to face exactly ZERO consequences for tanking the economy.
