Honest and intelligent, but background a bit light. If appointed FBI director, I think he'd back the pprofessionals, meaning Trump would soon fire him.
Agreed. Suthers would be fair-minded and competent. But I wouldn't wish that job on anyone. Working for Trump, having to assuage his insecurities and massage his ego, not to mention showing "loyalty" by supporting his paranoid fantasies, and likely breaking many laws, would give anyone nightmares.
Only a complete and unprincipled fool would be idiot enough to take that job at this time. John Suthers is neither a fool, nor an idiot . . .
Gardner, OTOH, is both.
…and he'd no longer have to work with a City Council that leans left!
Once more into the breach! Another Dignity Wraith.
No doubt the rank and file would love to work for a guy who when asked about his responsibility concerning a Colorado serial killer, threw his staff AND the FBI under the bus.
John Suthers would make a great FBI director. He's as honest as the day is long, impeccable law enforcement credentials, and a steady hand at the controls and on the throttle. His loyalty would be to the law and justice.
Loyalty to the country or loyalty to the Republican Party?
Sorry, I'm not seeing very many Republicans these days who put country ahead of party.
John Suthers would put the country first.
Which is why he won't possibly be named.
I may disagree with him politically, but I don't think Suthers is stupid and one would have to be pretty damn dumb to touch the tar baby that is the Yam's mis-administration.
The Trump
crime family,uhh, administration is coming apart even before it's assembled.So, the GOP has stolen a Supreme Court seat and the FBI director.
Democracy, anyone?
Yes, please. I say the Pledge every weekday morning with my students, and I mean every word. Democracy is worth keeping, and worth fighting for.
Resistance Manual has an exhaustive list of all the organizations which continue to resist aspects of the Trump agenda.
…or as that great Patriot Putrid Pear would say, "if you love the Unabomber so much why don't you marry him?"
Keep up the good fight MamaJ.
When I say the pledge, I skip under God. That wasn’t even in it when I was a kid and Trump's imaginary friend has no place in my value system.
Before Pear shows up and tries to fruitsplain the Prosperity Jesus thing, let's start with a visual: (thanks to properly primed pumps)
That is your right, or anyone else's, for that matter. I do mean "under God" when I say the Pledge.
However, my concept of "God" encompasses more aspects of gender and culture than just the straight white male Episcopal Alien God I was raised to worship, or even my mother's ancestral Jewish G_d, or later Dianic parthenogenetic aspects of the Goddess, or the usual mix of earth religions, native and new age practices people of our generation often explored.
"God" is all of these, and none of them. No face, no place. Or rather every face, every place, every space. In the America I pledge to, everyone would recognize the divine in every person and in all life.
And if I tried to fit all of this in to my Pledging, I'd probably hyperventilate and pass out, or make witch-burning fashionable again.
OK, I'm done preaching now. Tomorrow's Mother's Day, you can indulge me.
Just appropriated Blow’s column to my FB page, M.J. Thanks! The young people on my list will appreciate this.
