I hear you, buddy. I don’t understand the temptation of power, and I’m glad I don’t. Freedom is my ultimate temptation, and it has been stripped from all of us. But live day by day. I hope your day gets better because you have made someone’s life special. Hang in there.
I rationalize it as this ... I have a great husband, 3 beautiful children. They're 29, 24 and 20 1/2. They'd be fine without me .. as in they're independent kids and don't "need" me. My husband .. well, he can cook and do laundry and he'd spend his time playing his guitar without me ever saying "that's enough".
I guess my point is that if I wasn't here, people might miss me but they won't miss what I do for them. Does that make sense? I'm not in any way having issues of harming myself -- just if something happened, oh well.
And I haven't said anything here that I haven't said to my husband and one of my kids so they're well aware of my "whatever" attitude.

No, she's bitching that the journalist didn't walk up to a Talib wearing a hat with a big flashing Star of David on it and an arrow pointing down with the word "Jew" in blinking lights on it.
She's claiming that unless a journalist shows up with a detailed biography and CV to hand the interviewee, the interview is unethical.
frick her.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Still a lotta pandemonium outside the airport.
BIDEN: Oh, there is. But, look, b-- but no one's being killed right now, God forgive me if I'm wrong about that, but no one's being killed right now. People are-- we got 1,000-somewhat, 1,200 out, yesterday, a couple thousand today. And it's increasing. We're gonna get those people out.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But we've all seen the pictures. We've seen those hundreds of people packed into a C-17. You've seen Afghans falling--
BIDEN: That was four days ago, five days ago.
STEPHANOPOULOS: What did you think when you first saw those pictures?
BIDEN: What I thought was we ha-- we have to gain control of this. We have to move this more quickly. We have to move in a way in which we can take control of that airport. And we did.

Good for Clarissa Ward. She’s actually doing her fricking job.
Let's see how long she remains at CNN.

No, she's basically repeating the "sneaky Jew" trope without saying it upfront

Ah okay so the picture everyone was sharing was misinterpreted. Got it

I think the bigger worry is the flow of that transcript. The guy can't complete a full, lucid sentence.
Yeah trying to read that was a chore. And I still don't quite grasp what he said.

Clarissa explains it all.
