I doubt the Lannisters would have continued to pay their debts

gotta agree... "you let him screw your reputation, honor, dignity, principles, and political priors. Why not your wife?"

no soul, no morals, no sense of dignity...

Boozman, and Womack. I'm tried of sending nice, calm letters to them and getting back responses that ignore reality. You should read the 'boatload' I got from Tom Cotton this week on Iran.

...or more.

"Saddamification"? Bull! The term is "Sovietization". Led by lovers of Bolshevik tactics.

Hey, look, I was using that precise term in 2004, and that was years after noticing the pattern.

More proof of the "Sovietization" of politics by this (mal)Administration

... Rick Wilson apparently feels that equating Chump's behavior with Saddam would have more impact on the GOP party faithful. He has a point because we already know that calling them "Soviets" doesn't move the needle at all anymore.

He had one of the world's largest libraries on Stalin that included many Russian and English books but was reported to have every Arabic title on the subject.

More than anything else he studied he really applied himself was Stalin and more than any other world leader he skillfully applied Stalinist techniques.

It is interesting to note and remember that Wilson is a Republican. If the nation survives the shambles Trump has created, Wilson will turn his attention to the progressive platform and launch attacks as incisive and pithy as here. We will all be angered by those attacks and want to pull out our hair in anger at him -- and that will be as it should be.

However, this man has fought along side of us against the American Saddam and I will never forget his efforts, intellect, and heart.

Dunno, I for one admire every single person standing up and working day and night to fight back to save our country from "Sadaamification" or Sovietization of our country. That includes people whose politics I despised. We have so much more in common I've come to realize, than I ever knew.

I wonder if things wil forever be positively changed between us after the Crime Family is gone. I hope so. I think I'll try to listen and understand a little more, not be so reflexive. (On the other hand, I'm a deep-dyed liberal so it may not be easy.)
