I think Bush had the right approach here and Goldberg was off. Expecting others to come to you just because you’re powerful soon turns power into resentment. Going out and showing interest/curiosity about others wins friends and helps beget more diplomatic power.
H.W Bush was so clueless about what to do in the UN he’d call up random African nations with 3 million people because he was lonely & caused their secretary to have a panic attack because the United States was calling them

America was founded precisely to put a lid on nonsense like this.
My 16th great grandfather was King Henry VII, who funded the mission that claimed North America for England. My direct ancestors came to Jamestown and Massachusetts Bay. They fought in the crucial French and Indian War, and the War for American Independence. Two of my 6th great grandfathers fought as offices on the Patriot side at Kings Mountain! And on and on … blood, sweat, tears! And no one with your name was there!! So, no, you sit down and shut up child! Show some respect!!

Humans have always been more responsive to stories of violent deaths than of nonviolent ones. And so stories with violence get considerably more media coverage.
9/11 was very tragic obviously, but COVID killed 1.2 million americans and brought a bigger first responder sacrifice than ever before. Nurses and doctors worked 24 hour shifts and some died while helping people, yet we don’t mourn that even a quarter as much as 9/11.

It was important to send a PR message: “America is not at war with Islam.” Not even Islam as practiced by our worst enemy. If you asked people in Afg + Iraq why we invaded they knew nearly nothing of 9/11, nukes, or Bush admin blunders, many assumed: “You are at war with Islam”.

May we #NeverForget the victims of the 9/11 attacks, nor the many who stepped up to serve: public safety and firefighting, medicine, diplomacy and law, national security, and even journalism. #EPluribusUnum And may we emulate their examples in seeking a more perfect Union.

When a black Snape is somehow unthinkable so you rewrite him to be an American (and supposedly bullied over it). #UngratefulColonials

Personally, I’m not really sold on the casting, sorry. I would have loved to see a different actor. I really like Adam Driver as Snape

You cold call U.S. military contracts saying you have access to the dictators Then you call the dictators after and say you have access to american military defense contracts and that is how you make it happen

Jefferson shouldn't be "Great" either. That label seems to fondly loop in his pre-/post-Presidency achievements. The Louisiana Purchase mostly fell into his lap. And his embargo policies make Trump tariffs look symbolic by comparison. Don't get me started on Jackson + Wilson...
Not enough people are talking about the fact that *FDR* is in the “great” tier. If you needed a reminder that Trump is not a conservative—and is in fact a big-government Democrat—then here you go!

Syril is implicitly mocked b/c he's fussy, awkward, craves approval, and -amidst the drab nature of his work- rather performative/showy ("If that's not worth staying up late for, then I'm not worthy of the uniform.") He has the worst traits of C-3PO, Hermione Granger, and Azula.
The big thing I found off-putting about Andor was not the drabness or the darker tone but the writers' apparent antipathy for this guy. The show constantly mocks and degrades him for the great crime of assuming that two strangers deserved to live and their killer should be brought to justice. He's not doing it for glory or personal gain - he loses everything because of this obsession. I found this so amoral and repellent I felt no desire to watch season 2 - I wasn't surprised at all when I heard he'd been killed off unceremoniously with no personal arc or resolution to his story. Had the writers taken the character seriously and empathized with him a little, he could have been very compelling. As is the story would not change at all if he didn't exist. Thus every second he's on screen is a waste of your time, like so many other things in the show. RIP Space Javert.

Rogers is the lesser evil here, but... lesser. Pretty rich for him to woo those who "don't want to [back]... a campaign filled with anger, divisiveness, calls for violence, and views out of touch with your values" after backing Trump in 2024, despite knowing better in 2016+2020.
