      I don't think it's good or bad. I think it's fairly typical. The retweet of the anti-Semite would give me enormous pause. As for her having been outed for pure vengeance sake by people who lied the country into a war, I think she could sell that pretty well.

      So, it really does come down to "I just want to fight about Iraq and if that's the price of a Senate seat, okay." I'd have thought we would have learned about celebrity narrow-gauge candidacies by now, but okay.

      Tom: Do you think Valerie flirted her way through 20 years at the CIA and has been tending cactuses since?

      I'm sorry, did you just try to play the sexism card here? I think a lot of people have done fine work as public servants at the agency, but that doesn't mean they should run for office, especially if they think Jews start all the wars and stuff. (I notice you're ignoring that.)

      I'm not ignoring that. I'm inviting you to focus on that rather than your misrepresentation of the facts on why she was exposed. I'm also suggesting that it's rich you're demeaning expertise.

      I just want to know why you think this is a good idea. Both of you. I keep asking. The answer I get is "you don't know what really happened" and on the bigotry stuff, I get "...." You like her. You want to fight about Iraq. You think it'd be cool. I get it. But bad idea, imo.

      I want to know why you're claiming we think this is a good idea rather than I, at least, think correcting falsehoods is a good idea. This is at least the second time I've tried to make this distinction.

      Because you're in a lather over "democracy!" when if this were a similar candidate in whom you're less invested personally, I doubt you'd think it's a good idea to run someone whose two big identifiers in 2020 will be the Gulf War and being a bigot.

      Hi. Tom. I corrected your errors on a subject I'm an expert on. I don't give a shit whether Valerie runs and like the NMicans in this thread, I doubt she'll win a primary. But I do care abt the truth, and you're not telling it tonight, which is the sole reason I weighed in.

      Okay, Marcy. I understand. I will never say that 2002 happened before 2003 again. I do like your stuff on Mueller, though.

      Kids, if you have this much energy, could you perhaps just clean the dishes?
