Now I suppose I'm going to have a bunch of proponents of Democratic Infallibility coming after me, but...

where the fuck do we get off, going to Fattah al-Sissi over this? No, really, here's a guy who executed a violent, bloody coup that killed twelve hundred Egyptians. After the coup, he murdered another four thousand for protesting the coup. After thus securing his position, he sentenced fifteen hundred people to death for belonging to a rival political party, then was 'elected" with 90% of the vote, after outlawing most of the opposition - and having made it clear that voting for anyone else was a death sentence. He put the guy he overthrew on trial for treason with charges of killing the Egyptians killed by the military led by al-Sissi during that coup.

But there's John Kerry, glad-handing this asshole, legitimatizing his seizure of power, forgiving his butchery and terror, and asking him for a handout, begging for help... to stop someone else from killing civilians?
