I will never forgive Kevin Sorbo for ruining what was a good Sci-fi series, Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda.

He's focused on O-4 level shit, because that's the highest rank he ever got.

Same, if you had told me beforehand one of the two from Hawaii will vote "yes" on cloture, I would have bet it would be Hirono and not Schatz.

There is an old joke:
No I don't belong to an organized political party, I'm a Democrat.

Between Nadar in 2000 and Stein (herself) in 2016 I would have thought that most voters would have understood the rules of the game.

We can agree Biden has acted in creepy ways at time, but by all accounts there was nothing malicious or predatory in his actions.

Meanwhile, Trump (and his father) were literally found liable for discriminating against black renters.

So Grant knew how to overcome that weakness.

IMHO Grant is an unrated figure in US history (to include myself until recently) and we can learn a lot from him

And so end my thread, though I did not accurately measure it.

Ok, quick aside, I'm not fluent on writing threads, so mea culpa. On with the story:

So while Grant is remembered as drunk, records show that he never drank when things mattered. Which quick aside, I have a similar relationship with alcohol.

So unlike Hegseth, Grant knew his weakness.
