Anthony Bourdain (RIP) said it best - "Once you've been to Cambodia you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands"

Kissinger should have been put in the court in the Hauge.

When I learned about the war of Pakistan on Bangladesh and how they targeted educated civilians, it made me blood boil. Then I learn Nixon and Kissinger tried to intimidate India into not intervening and stopping the genocide in Bangladesh (all supposedly in the name of fighting communism) and my mind was set. Bangladesh still suffers from consequence of those targeted killings on civilians that US ally Pakistan carried out. When it came down to it, Kissinger had no issue giving up ALL morality for even medium to small geopolitical goals. I believe this will do more harm to the US in the long run, since it turns many common people of the world against the US, it tarnishes our image and provides credibility to the narratives that putin, for example, now tries to push.

You can also view Kissinger roasting Buckley for an intriguing insight to his relationship with the most connected man in America.

When Sonya keeps referring to congress as "the swamp" it kind of undoes her whole argument because it makes her obviously a far right wing fan, instead of someone that is just non-political, but focused on the tasks her department actually takes care of. Makes her feel like her argument isn't fact based 100 percent.

That quiet skies scoop was wildly interesting I think its fair to say that the air marshall person seems like they were perfectly happy with the program when it was targeting probably-innocent "suspected terrorists" before jan 6th and is just up-in-arms due to it now surveilling a different type of probably-innocent "suspected terrorist"... Really came across like she was saying: "I got into this job to surveil innocent BROWN people, not jan-6'rs". Obviously speculation - Just an impression i got from a few of her turns of phrase and her referring to congress as "the swamp". Seemed to be a real "I only hate this program now that we are tracking the potential terrorists that I happen to like" situation Genuine civil liberty concern, dont get me wrong. But the breaching of the civil liberties of muslim Americans, pre jan-6th, didn't seem to worry her. So its a bit rich that shes concerned only now. Still a worthy issue to bring up, even if I detest the clear bias in what she was saying

She asserts that the surveillance program is illegal, i.e. the one that she's being paid to carry out. Um, maybe stop doing it then if you really believe that and would like to avoid prosecution. "But I was just following orders".

I'm not too sure the people of Cambodia or even Argentina would be using the word 'statesman'.

It says a lot that this woman uses the term “ the swamp in Congress” to attach blame to. I would be very careful evaluating the accuracy of her report!

I'm sure Elizabeth Holmes would write a wonderful tribute to Kissinger for helping to defraud people of billions during the Theranos period as a board member (unindicted like the rest of the board).

Ending an interview with the chant "God bless America" sounds completely normal to me and doesn't at all sound fanatical. I trust every word she spoke. Nanoo Nanoo Australia...

Leaning on despicable human side...

I believe very little that that woman in red said, she was insanely partisan and the interests she is a voice for should have been made clearer.

Kissinger was a war criminal. I am a 76-year-old Black woman that remembers this horror and the things that he did. I do not think he will ever rest in peace.

Weird episode, a) That is NOT close to all of why internet, and it's not just the left, have an issue with Kissenger and b) Swamp? God Bless America? Bringing in the border? Chas did you vet that source?

Turns out immortality isn’t real

No jacket for John...looking dapper!

Did you want to tell the Australians that the social security is paid into by everyone. Once your income is 200000 your deduction remains the same no matter how high your income is? Did you also want to talk about the lump sums taken out of social security by the republicans but never paid back.

I was an ignoramus about kissenger, I'd always confuse him with Dillenger, who is another famous figure that I'm an ignoramus about.

After hearing what the quite skies program does it sounds like there isn’t any reason to continue with it. I hope the swamp shuts it down and delegates funds to more important programs. It take guts telling people that your job has been pointless for over 20 years now you can’t target brown people you don’t like the look of

That was really interesting about the TSA and Quiet Skies program. I went looking for a profile of Sonya Labosco and found her on LinkedIn. Sonya's LinkedIn posts are far right and imply strong favorability to Trump. However, in the absence of any fact checks or counter arguments (why is there such a vacuum?), one has to take Sonya cautiously at her word. @Chas, I encourage you to follow up with fact checking or additionally stories on this.

Should the presidential candidates be drug tested for performance enhances? Is this the future for both performers and intellectuals? WATTBA

Whatever happened to the paperless society that was supposed to be the future? Most who's face shows up on TV is or has written a book of some sort.
