Mutually assured destruction is my likely guess. If the list came out, I imagine there would be massive casualties on both sides.
Good. They should be destroyed.
Unfortunately the people making that call are largely people that are on that list or closely connected to people that are.
That's kills me inside..like I grew up being told, "Don't cover for your friends if they do something stupid." I learned that includes things like rapes and assault, or child molestation or anything that proves they are not a good person.
How is it that so many people in power don't have that type of mentality? How is it that somehow none of em, not one, has the balls to actually stand up and say, "A, B, ans C have done this and this and that."
I'm lost for words on how to describe my feelings towards the Democrats that let this through.
Because information is power. They can use knowledge of another’s wrongdoings to buy support for things.
