Did you read his history as a JAG at Guantanamo? He fucking tortured people.
Unfortunately, there's a scary sector of US voters who will see that as a plus, rather than a deal-breaker.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Today is the Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May: [link]
I shall have to find some lilac.
Today is also Towel Day: [link]
Do you know where your towel is?
Don't panic.

Yeah, it was a horrifying read... and completely unsurprising that he seemed to enjoy witnessing the torture... and was so cruelly deceitful in his purpose for being there.
I had exactly the same right, Calli. There's a huge segment who would have stood right there with him enjoying the scenes, and they probably regretted they only got to read about it.
More and more, cruelty is the goal, and that's accepted and acceptable. There's no other explanation I can see.

Aw. I do know where my towel is! I don't think I can lay my hands on any lilac easily, maybe next year I can plan ahead.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tomorrow we head up to Baltimore for Balticon. We will bring Mr. S over for a day, but no overnights. Should be fun.

Sounds good Sheryl! I hope it’s a really good time.
Came home from fancy drinks tonight and made myself a grilled cheese. Popped into my bedroom to grab a sweater and came back to see the dogs in opposite corners of the living room each with one half of the sandwich.

I'm sure they appreciated your cooking for them!
I got locked out of my yoga class midway through last night; I had to duck out to got to the bathroom. I found it deeply funny. (I'm on a monthly pass, so no refund needed.) Like, how bad is your karma to get locked out of the place where they're constantly trying to help you up your karma game?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
or, perhaps, your karma is up as far as it can go?
