1. K & R...for truth...nt

[Jilly_in_VA]

2. That's my senator!

I love him. He's real.

[11 Bravo]

5. Mine, as well. Tim is a good man!

[underpants]

20. Yes. Me too.

😉

[AwakeAtLast]

3. Mike. Drop.

4. Sigh. If only he had shown a bit of that spunk back when.

[StarfishSaver]

10. When would that have been?

[UTUSN]

12. My first pick for reference would be when he was our veep candidate. My allowable opinion.

[StarfishSaver]

13. Do you think that would have made much of a difference?

[UTUSN]

14. Yeah, a veep candidate usually fires things up. What is it about my opinion that is so radical?

Really, I'm missing something, about what the point of contention is, the game, the rules of the game - things like that.

I have nothing else here except to assert my privilege to have an opinion like anybody else. Nothing else meaning nothing else.

[StarfishSaver]

17. For someone proclaiming a right to have an opinion, this is a pretty odd and over-the-top response

to being asked what that opinion is.

Oh, well ...

[LanternWaste]

16. He did.

Re-watch relevant clips of necessary.

He was there. He was on point.

[AndyS]

6. No shit, as if we ever cared to see what that culture was before we go involved. nt

[Captain Zero]

26. When we send our military; it's to kill

Not to understand and determine options.

That would be the job of the PEACE CORPS, right ?

Which has been dissolved over the years since JFK instituted it.

[PatSeg]

7. Well said

[Icanthinkformyself]

8. Who it is

Thank you, Senator Kaine. May I make a small request? Next time tell the other 70% of Americans just who those 30% are, Republicans .

[littlemissmartypants]

11. Except that's not entirely true. There are plenty of 3rd party

Teabaggers, libertarians, greens and their ilk that make up that cohort.

[crickets]

9. So true. Thank you, Tim Kaine.

Great response:

That's the basic truth right there. We have our hands full getting our own house in order. And really, the best thing we can do for the rest of the world is improve the U.S., and the residual effects will do more positive than any of our military occupations will do.

15. I read a book detailing the breakdown of civilized bahavior in the Balkans

after the breakup of Yugoslavia.

It was written by a journalist who lived through it.

His conclusion is that about 30% of the population would willingly commit atrocities if released from the constraints of society.

[zaj]

18. This is terrible. It paints the 70% as the problem.

And it puts the failure on Biden and the Dems.

[Skittles]

19. that is some pretzel logic right there

[JI7]

22. no

[Elessar Zappa]

24. No it doesn't.

[smirkymonkey]

21. K&R

23. K&R

[Irish_Dem]

25. The US has lost its moral high ground. 30% of the population have made a mockery of our democracy.

And our cherished value of freedom.
