Just say no.
No guns for terrorists.
Bright line for Assad.
We don't need no stinkin' masks.
We (Royal We) have an infinite ability to screw up.
No so Funny, in the 80s people were going to prison for life for getting
busted with some pot 3 times.
In the 70s when I was growing up in Oregon, pot was decriminalized. "some
people" grew it in their dorm rooms...
Now it is fully legalized in Oregon. I presume they let all those lifers
out of prison.
Pendulums swing back and forth. I hope that one has stopped.

Which also gave us the McNamara Military doctrine... You can have the
smartest guys from other industries, but we still need to depend upon
the guys in the field of battle to be the weighted input.. Otherwise I
agree...

When I was an engineering undergrad, we had to take a certain number of

at Northwestern, so even the professors teaching intro level classes were
pretty good.
This would be from about 1971 and I wasn't a poli sci major, so I don't
remember that much from the class. But I remember the prof talking about
decision making in the JFK White House. Take it with a grain of salt
because this was the administration that gave us Bay of Pigs, but I think
he kind of inherited that plan from Eisenhower, still shame on him for
going with it. (I liked both Ike and JFK, so not casting any aspersions.)
But prof said JFK would gather all the smartest people and hear them out.
Then with a smaller group of people he would weigh the various inputs and
make a decision. I think the lesson we were being taught was that ideas
are best generated with a large group, and decisions best made with a
small group. Something about large groups can too easily make risky
decisions because responsibility was diffused.
Or you can just "go with your gut". My gut wants a cheeseburger. Sorry,
gut, you're getting a lowfat yoghurt. Which the label says has sucralose
in it. Back to the diet sweetener thread. But honestly the Yoplait
banana cream pie light yoghurt is pretty yummy.

At least he has now said the words: “he won . . .”

able to win the election and refused to concede, writing, "I concede
NOTHING!
We have a long way to go."

I admire your optimism Lewis.
There have been times in the last four years when I thought he would
surprise us all, and grow into the job or manifest some semblance of
growing into the job. I've been disappointed every time.
So while I admire your optimism, I do not share it. I'm resigned to
the notion that he will muck it up somehow.

Honestly, he is always surprising people. So let me be the first to
say that since the popular opinion is that he will continue to be a
royal ass, I think he will surprise us all, Shake Biden's hand, and
manage to pull off two hours acting like a decent human being at
inauguration.

Maybe he could go back up the Trump Tower golden escalator.
I saw today that he has cited Sunset Boulevard as one of his
favorite films. Maybe it can be like the final scene of that
movie. I’m ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille.
