Way to go Lawrence!

Great follow on to Rachel.

I appreciate what Lawrence is able to articulate. Listening to Lawrence, sounds like there needs to be a "Dear John" for at least one more member on the white house.

The guy in the white house, used one of the general's phrases. "He knew . . . . . ."

Listening to the bio presented on Representative Wilson, the woman is accomplished.

He mentioned the "women were sacred" bullshit that Kelly spouted. My wife and I both laughed out loud (in disbelief) when Kelly said that.

And religion is no longer sacred. Well, hallelujah to that one.

And the vitriol directed at Wilson. Fascinating how Lawrence placed this in the racial context of Boston.

love that guy

I know a lot of people enjoy Rachel's long, winding road to that core, but I am impatient. I like it when someone gets to the point and builds on it instead of building to the point.

At the very least, he is well informed and articulate.

Yet, the person he is disparaging is a woman. One who lost a friend, and a colleague in Niger.

Sacred?

He very respectfully, but forcefully dismantled every rambling comment Kelly made and left Kelly looking like a racist, sexist, addled moron... which is exactly what he is.

I hope the nation sees him for what he really is. He took the job because he likes what he's doing and who he serves, not because he has some benevolent desire to save the country from Trump. He's a Trumper through and through.
