This should really tell you how tremendously hosed up things are right now. I did not give a shiiiiiiiiiit about politics in 8th grade. For things to get so bad that these kids know who Paul Ryan is and to have formed an opinion about him means poo poo is done approaching real status. I'm even willing to accept that their opinion was probably influenced by their parents, would not surprise me in the least. That it's happening at all is significant.

The French that I've dealt with in the military tend to be excellent negotiators. They know exactly what they can and cannot ask for, understand the limitations of their and others' power, and especially relish the opportunity to display those limitations to pushy Americans. It's a lot of fun to watch.

The last time I had Koelsch was over a decade ago, as an exchange student who had very little beer drinking experience.

I recall it being distinctly kinda bad. The bartender, amused, noticed us dumbass American kids making yuck-face as we drank it. He gave us very accurate advice, in German. "The faster, the better" as he poured us each two more little glasses on the house.

We slammed it down, which did somehow make it better, then went and toured some churches.

Fresh Air had a good interview with Thomas Ricks about his Orwell and Churchill biographies, but the interview talked a lot on both Flynn and McMaster

quote:

I do know these guys. And as you listed them, what struck me as I envisioned each is what a diverse group they are. General Flynn, I think, rose to levels above his level of competence, is a very naive man, not well-informed about the world despite being an intelligence officer. And I wasn't surprised to see him flame out very quickly.

General Mattis is almost the opposite of General Flynn. Mattis, who's now the secretary of defense, is one of the more thoughtful people I've ever met in uniform or out.

...
It's been sad for me to watch McMaster in recent weeks because he's a thoughtful man as well - more emotional, more big and physical than Mattis but an intellectual himself. He wrote a very good book, called "Dereliction Of Duty," about the Vietnam War and the failures of American generals to tell the truth to American politicians, especially President Lyndon Johnson. And so it's almost Shakespearean to see McMaster in the White House as the national security adviser faced with the same situation, in many ways, that the Vietnam generals had. And when it's his job to get up and speak truth to power, instead he appears, in recent days, to have stood up and shielded the president from the truth and dissembled about the truth rather than insisting on the truth.
...
And then the next day, he got up, and he kind of quibbled on that a little bit. He said, well, he actually confirmed the facts of the story, but then said the premise of the story was false. I'd gone through the same situation with McMaster where I'd written a story about McMaster in Iraq in 2006 that put his unit in a very good light and him in a very good light about the work they had done in taking a new approach in fighting the war.

But there was one paragraph in it he disliked. He didn't dispute the truth of it. He just disliked it, and so he called me and yelled at me for two days over the phone in Iraq to complain about it. And I heard that exact same tone when he got up at the White House and called the story false. He actually never said what he thought the wrong facts were, but he basically was saying I don't like that story.
...
He specifically wanted to defend his unit, his regiment and protect the morale of troops who he thought might be demoralized by seeing the previous tour of duty that they had criticized. I...

GROSS: And you think that's what he's doing now is trying to kind of protect the president or protect the morale of the administration.

RICKS: Yes. And I think he failed to see that his job is not to protect the president. It's to protect the nation. And what I fear General McMaster has done in recent weeks by coming out and seeking to protect the president is not his job. He shouldn't protect the president. He should protect the nation. And I fear that through his recent actions, he has enabled President Trump to continue to operate in this very reckless, ignorant way. Now, I think what McMaster thinks he's doing is the best he can do in that situation. What I fear he doesn't see is he's enabling it to become worse.

GROSS: So you've written that you don't think that McMaster will dutifully defend President Trump for long. Why do you think that?

RICKS: It's a crushing burden to be in political power in Washington these days, and you see people almost lose their souls. I think Sean Spicer, the president's spokesman in recent weeks has been pushed almost to the edge of a nervous breakdown from his public appearance. And he's kind of lost a big part of his soul, and I think that's true of some other people. And H.R. McMaster is a man of great soul, of great feeling. I remember talking to him in Iraq, and his voice would grow thick. And when he was kind of angry a little bit, he'd rolled his shoulders as he talked to you, almost as if to loosen up those back muscles.

And watching H.R. McMaster, an officer I do admire, over the last few weeks, I feel like I've seen him come out and give up a slice of his soul a few times. And I wonder how many more times he can do that before he just says I am becoming part of the problem, not part of the solution here.
...
In a general way, I do know how Flynn wound up at the White House, which is that Donald Trump is a profoundly ignorant man. And the people around him are equally ignorant. He doesn't trust anybody. He doesn't know a lot about Washington. He knows almost nothing about the U.S. government and, in fact, appears not to understand the U.S. Constitution. And so people who would kind of drift across his attention would wind up working for him.

I think he gets most of his information from television and from conversation. And I think he's very good at acquiring information from conversation, like a lot of people who are not really literate. He listens well. He hears well. And he remembers well. And so you see, disproportionately, he's inclined to hire people who've appeared on Fox News, which is a very small and dangerous segment of American society.

Missionary Positron: Jul 6, 2004; And now for something completely different

Theresa May accused of being �Donald Trump�s mole� in Europe after UK tries to water down EU climate change policy. Leaked documents show UK wanted to change EU targets on energy efficiency and renewable energy that would not apply until after the expected date for Brexit

quote:

Theresa May has been accused of being Donald Trump�s �mole� in Europe after leaked documents showed the UK attempted to water down EU policies designed to tackle climate change.

While other European politicians have made clear to the Republican billionaire that his denial of climate science is a problem, the Prime Minister has remained resolutely silent on the issue.

Her visit to Washington � when the two leaders were pictured holding hands � was widely regarded as an attempt to build a strong relationship with Mr Trump, despite concerns about his attitudes towards women, migrants, Islam, Vladimir Putin�s Russia and other issues.

The leaked documents, obtained by Greenpeace�s Energydesk, show the UK tried to make a policy designed to improve energy efficiency � reducing greenhouse gas emissions and making goods cheaper to run for consumers � voluntary rather than mandatory.

It also essentially argued EU member states should be allowed to make no progress at all towards a 2030 target on renewable energy until the last moment.

Brexit might've been a blessing in disguise for the EU.

In a normal world sure. In the darkest timeline it would be...interesting.

Donnie's been a little loose with classified information, learned that he specifically can declassify anything when he hosed up then needed someone to hand him an excuse afterwards and is the closest thing he can be to "loyal" with family.

I used to work in an office that stocked those. Some people actually did a blind taste-test competition, and more than one was able to successfully identify each flavor. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
