I might stop by from time to time to see what’s going on, but I’m out. This is just total bullshit.
“We are where we are.” This quote is John McCain. He’s used it on multiple occasions during interviews to dodge questions. “We don’t know what we don’t know” This I hear at least once a week. Both quotes mean nothing. Repeated use of them is grating to everyone that has to listen to it. Just [...]
