Polonia / Elon Musk tells Germans to "move on"! [247]
A former lawyer, congressman, senator... Yes, I'd say so.
He certainly made missteps in his long career, e.g. the Anita Hill
hearings, where as junior senator from Maryland, he really
lambasted Hill on the stand. Then there was that intern thing....
However, on the whole, Biden didn't serve as president with
childish glee, trying to see how much chaos he could cause
while leaving others to clean up his mess, as compared with
the current Buzzard - in - Chief.
The way he works a crowded room, he missed his calling as
a Borscht Belt comic. He's got the timbre in his voice, almost
like Groucho Marx and he's nasty to boot!
@Rich, I never said that qualified experts are perfect, did I?

As I've always maintained, the minute the MAGOT-Republicans got back into
the White House, Proud boy wannabes etc., cronyism returns and competence
goes right out the window!
Albeit far from "perfect", at least in former administrations, the likes of Dean Rusk,
Acheson, Ted Sorensen, Bob McNamara etc. were imminently qualified for their
jobs, any number holding doctoral degrees and having background for their jobs,
even if being a well-born W.A.S.P didn't hurt either:-)
But this crowd??! Gaetz barely missed not getting confirmed, but RFK, Pam Bondi
and most others are real greenies. Again, being a maverick in office a la Sarah Palin
can only go so far.

While I don't necessarily expect central casting figures, being only a maverick

Rich, I never implied or stated that every gov't. program meets with my approval, did I?
No. Therefore, why throw the baby out with the proverbial bathwater??
As George Bailey said in "It's a Wonderful Life", to paraphrase, it's the middle class who
do most of the living and dying in our community! Is it too much to ask that they live and/or
die in some semblance of comfortable surroundings?
This thinking was prevalent during the immediate post-War years, up through the mid-'70's.
Then The Reagan Counter Revolution all but destroyed all of such hopes and dreams.
Frank Capra, above all FRD, must have been turning over in their graves!

@Rich,
The US doesn't need a specific government body devoted to business efficiency!
The ineluctable eugenic conclusion of such thinking is that certain Americans are
simply born and bred entrepreneurs who will success no matter who's in office,
therefore, to hell in a handbasket with the rest of those deemed too slow or just
incapable of keeping up with "progress" or "regress" as the case may be.
This is all a direct result of Reaganism, a derivative of that EST (Erhard Seminar Training)
jazz I've already mentioned here ad nauseum. The question is not "Why aren't you a mega-
billionaire ten times over?", but rather, what is YOUR particular skill set and how can the society
make the best, most profitable, use of it. Everyone has a comfortable place in society as we once
had, be it the bagger at a Walmart or the CEO of Microsoft. Of course the earning scale will be
different, granted. However, need those less talented in all areas be made to feel as though their
contribution is worth nothing??
Not all Americans are natural born math genii or creative accountants. When ordinary folks began
being penalized for what they weren't instead of rewarded forwhat they were, this is when things started getting
dicey and "just plain folks" tragically started taking matters into their own hands, egged on, not by
inbred criminality, but by frustration that the United States was brazenly, smugly passing them by
in a brave new world order which marginalizes individual achievement, solely in favor of the Zuckerbergs,
Bezos' and the rest of those who ignore standard and quality.

Musk and his D.O.G.E., not to be confused with the rulers of Renaissance Venice,
are as much a disgrace to America as the Felon-in-Chief himself!!
Elon Musk isn't even a US citizen, who sounds somewhat foreign when he
speaks, aligns himself with Germany's AfD ("unofficially", of course), and wants
to slash and burn at his boss' every whim.
Reminds me a little of that Al Dunlap character back in the '90's, or even
the late former Reagan appointee, Don Rumsfeld, so-called efficiency
experts, who eliminated entire corporate department for questionable
reasons and put uncounted Americans out of work. Many never found
jobs again, or at best, at pay far below their background.

@Marrakesh, you seemed to have missed the point! Roosevelt
decided not to bomb the railway connections to Auschwitz because
of a virulent anti-Semitic contingent in the US Congress, led principally
by the likes of Messrs. Breckenridge Long, Rankin, Bilbow and their cohorts
in the Senate.
An attempt had already been made on FDR's life in 1935 or thereabouts,
assassinating the mayor of Chicago instead. Roosevelt didn't want to
fall to the assassin's bullet a second time. He was between a rock and a
hard place; appease Hitler, and the Left would cry that he's kowtowing to the
Nazis, fight the Nazis, and the Right would have said he's succumbing to Jewish pressure groups, such as intimated by Norman
Thomas and the (original) America Firsters, among others. FDR was damned if he
did and damned if he didn't.

Not the old German film with Ferdinand Marian directed by Veit Harlan, surely!! Marrakesh, you must be older than the hills, as
that film came out in around 1942.
If you read through the original agenda of the Wannsee Conference, you will see that Heydrich, Eichmann and the rest of the participants
PLANNED on killing off 11,000,000 Jews throughout entire occupied Europe. They only got away with around 6,000,000. Had the Allies not
forced Germany to surrender, the Nazis might well have achieved their horrific goal.
Rich, Jews have been hated throughout the millenia because they were seen as interfering with the
plans of Pontius Pilate to expand the Roman Empire, later, by the Catholic Church based on the myth
of the Jews murdering Jesus.

In addition, I had the misfortune of having once watched the infamous documentary

Therefore, I advise you to kindly refrain from commenting on matters of which you

@Marrakesh,
Don't know from which corner of the universe you are (although I have a pretty good guess) but
if you're selling "cultural relativism" as pitched by Germany's
revisionist historians, go peddle your propaganda elsewhere!
First of all, devious, indeed, ignoble as many acts of the US have
been throughout our short history, from the Indian Massacres
during the latter half of the 19th century up through the Tulsa Massacre
in the mid-1920's, nothing quite holds a candle to the unrelenting,
systematic sadism of the planned extermination of nearly 11 million
Jews, along with Sinti-Roma at the hands of the Nazis between 1937-
1944. Slavery here at home, horrible and unforgivable, did not involve the depopulation of
sections of the United States for the purposes of expunging an entire race.
While John Perkins's "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" does lay a large degree of
blame for 9/11 at America's doorstep as corporate provocateur, impoverishing much of the
Third World, especially poor Muslim nations, mere mention of same alongside the Holocaust
beggars comparison from a sheer historical perspective.
