We bitch with one another a fair bit here over various issues of personal importance, but honesty of intent and a desire to truly communicate and understand are almost always the goals. Plenty of individual personality may be exposed in the process! But we are who we are, here. A refreshing difference. P.S. Or, maybe, not so much of one.

Some have many more of one than the other.

Very, very warm welcome. Extremely glad to have you here. The owner there is a psychopath. Here, we have owner and participants who try not to be. We usually succeed.

We know how this turns out in the end.

Good God, yes. You fall into the ditch, then you claw your way back out, get onto your hind feet again and find your way forward. This endless BEGGING from d. is the most self-pitying, self-humiliating thing I have ever seen.

Presidents are continually presented with calculated risks they have to determine whether they are in the national interest to enact. John Adams’s Alien & Sedition Acts was perhaps the first example. Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War, another. BO ordered an unending rain of drone strikes against known terrorist operators which clearly violated the standing law, but that I for one am glad he did. Etc etc. As @TotallyOz says above, it is a question of motive. Our current Executive has zippo interest in the national interest, only his own.

Clearly a metaphoric term.
