    Dudes like Kissinger and McConnell still drawing breath are the exact reason why so many Republicans are shitting themselves over non-existent dead babies harvested for adrenochrome.

    In their ignorance and propaganda-fed fear, they figure it must actually be happening because of these guys, but want to make sure to assign blame before anyone else figures it out.

      Except Kissinger left politics decades ago. There’s a HUGE list of senators and house reps who are ancient and utterly out of touch but keep getting reelected because they live in one-party states. The real problem is places where a single party keeps winning, if every district were a battleground you’d see candidates working hard to justify their existence.

        July 18, 2023: Henry Kissinger makes surprise visit to China, meets top diplomat

        On Wednesday, Wang Yi, China’s former foreign minister and now its top diplomat, greeted Kissinger, who was using a cane, in Beijing.

        “It is impossible to try to transform China, and it is even more impossible to contain China,” Wang told the American, according to a Chinese report of the meeting. “U.S. policy toward China requires the diplomatic wisdom of Kissinger and the political courage of Nixon,” Wang reportedly said.

        This came a day after Kissinger met Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu, according to a report by the official Xinhua News Agency that was also posted on the ministry’s website.

        Kissinger hasn’t left politics at all. And all the dead he is responsible for killing . . . are still dead.

          Holy crap, he’s like a million. Ah fudge still probably younger than Feinstein. At least Kissinger isn’t voting on laws directly impacting you and me?

        At least here, in Illinois, we periodically arrest our politicians, to keep things fresh

          I love to play a game with myself when I read about a (us) politician getting a corruption charge: “Is it from Chicago or Not Chicago?”

          Usually it’s Chicago.

          I like to think it’s possible to have a world where politicians don’t need arresting. I think there was a small slice of time where this was the case in human history, before the village leader decided nobody could own a club or spear or sharp thingy with a size over 75% the size of his.
