I suspect Mulvaney will be taking some time off to spend with his family. Did anyone think it was a good idea to send him on the sunday morning talk shows with even more experienced interviewers that had tons of time to prep?
You call that âmelting downâ? Correcting Wallaceâs mischaracterisation is âmelting downâ.
Wallace started the clip at a point where it would appear "âŚthatâs why we held up the money would sound like âthatâ was âthe serverâ. But in context, his comments about the server were parenthetical, and not related to withholding aid.
Today itâs two reasons the aid was withheld not three⌠What changed on September 11th that suddenly resolved the two or three reasons the aid was being withheld?
He could have started quoting Kiplingâs If; that might have helped.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, donât deal in lies,
Or being hated, donât give way to hating,
And yet donât look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth youâve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss[es];
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your [or our] turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on [to it] when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: âHold on!â
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
â Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count [on you,] with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty secondsâ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything thatâs in it,
And - which is more - youâll be a Man, my son!
It looked like he was wearing peach lipstick to me.
Otherwise it was OK.
The forcing of the quid is just not taking hold. Forget that the funds were released.
The problem for the Secret Society of Impeachers is that the explanation is too long and the connections are just not there to make the case to the voters.
