1. I prefer this analogy
If there's a leak in your upstairs bathroom that is coming through the ceiling in the living room, you don't just fix the ceiling.

2. We need to start building some gallows on Capitol Hill.

Real working gallows so the clowns there get the idea. bring your pitchforks, torches and AK47s as well.

8. I was thinking guillotine...but the gallows is more American.
I think tar and feathers was eliminated in the cruel and unusual punishment clause.

BUT WATERBOARDING IS A-OK! Nobody minds if we do that.

Shun these assholes.. don't publish their lame books, don;t "invite" them on TV shows..don't give them radio shows..

deprive them of a way to stay in public..They THRIVE on attention..humiliate them, mock them, and then send them away with no way to rehabilitate themselves on tv

3. We don't need accountability, we just need to move forward
accountability is backward thinking....


Well, we're there now so now let's deal with it


In all kinds of ways the exact same thing is said...

Tough shit. Suck it up and move on - there will be no accountability. Let's not look into how we got here, because that might mean someone has to be held accountable.


I'll take the knife out of your back - and you'll feel some relief...but you have to let me shoot you first.

4. Just as they have done with everything they've fucked up since
and including 9/11. They NEVER want to look back and see where the fault lies and they NEVER want to hold ANYONE AT ALL accountable. Because doing so would result in their violent demise.
