The Department of Defense is always preparing for war. Saudi Arabia threatening to turn Qatar into an island by building a canal is an interesting development. Note that the base in Qatar is just temporary. “Permanent bases” are a red flag all over the Middle East.

What do the Cons want to conserve?
Raw Power
Unearned status
Celebrity
Leisure
Fluffing
The seven deadlies without consequence.
Authoritarians are people who claim the right to tell people what to do without any basis in fact for that exercise of authority. Authoritarianism has found some disfavor. So, as is the conservative wont, the Cons have come up with a euphemism. LEADERSHIP is the new term.
One of Georgia’s current state Senators is William Ligon. He’s a lawyer, supposedly an expert mangler of words, who apparently does not know that leadership doesn’t do any of the things he claims.
Leadership doesn’t
Protect
Defend

I denied the allegation immediately, unequivocally, and categorically. The next day, I told this Committee that I wanted to testify as soon as possible, under oath, to clear my name.
Over the past few days, other false and uncorroborated accusations have been aired. There has been a frenzy to come up with something—anything, no matter how far-fetched or odious—that will block a vote on my nomination. These are last- minute smears, pure and simple.
