Well, the best course of action if they feel he's guilty of criminal wrong-doing is to pursue charges relentlessly. Appeal if they can, pursue if possible, continue to investigate other wrongdoing as need arises. At a minimum, this occupies his time, perhaps generates legal fees he has to contend with, serving as a deterrent to others of similar mind. Of course, he should certainly have his day in court.

Get a 17 pounder, drink early in the day to take the edge off. Tell them fatties at the table there’s a new sheriff in town, and he’s all about discipline and self-moderation. Supplement the turkey and trimmins with scrambled eggs for those who feel the need to engorge themselves on your dime. Tell em eggs are cheap, like $&@$ing Planet $&#*ing Fitness. I’m just spitballing here for now, let me work through it a bit. My gift to you.

Dick Cheney was accused of complicity in fabricating intelligence in a for-profit war. That war left a million people dead, including American sons and daughters, and many more catastrophically injured. Lives were changes, families shattered. You are allowed an arm's length view and the perspective that comes with it...you can sit and drink a Timmy Ho's, contemplate your time at University, plan a holiday. You use the term 'zed', your money is artistic, beautiful and colorful...and your painted ladies dance in the same suits as they were born in often artistic, beautiful and colorful. I ask you, NB, as a casual observer, was Dick Cheney a patriot?

I learned about American history when I went school and took classes about American history. I understand that history is written by the victors, that times change, opinions shift, new evidence can uncovered, people lie now, people lied then. I have no beef with a Ken Burns scripted version of history, with understanding it may be wholly or partially accurate, but do not feel compelled to accept his version at face value without question. A good storyteller can tell a good story. We live in a time when we cannot find consensus on important historical events that happened just a few years ago, where words and actions are interpreted or misinterpreted for political gain and to tip the scales of power. Like him, hate him, but the amount of material we have access to simply because Trump was elected v Harris most definitely impacts how history will be defined, at least until the next version evolves. Cynicism is a good thing, after all, doesn’t that bring us a Ken Burns in the first place?
