Vindman is the epitome of what happens when the participation trophy child grows up. I can't stand him and would like nothing more than to beat his melon.
Yep, I’d gladly help you do it. I can’t stand the guy either he’s such a putz.
Something about him is just off. I have what my daughter calls weirdo radar. It has nothing to do with ideology or politics but sometimes a person just sets off my weirdometer, with a 90%+ rate of being right. I've had the feeling with people that have turned out to be kiddie-diddlers, spouse abusers, zoophilic fetishists (dude was an actual chicken f*cker), drug dealers, animal abusers, etc. I can't say what it is but something about him screams to me that there's something wrong about him.
And it has nothing to do with him looking like the blowup auto-pilot from Airplane

I've been torn on this topic but have spent a lot of time thinking about it in private. Here is where I'm at currently in my thinking.
We all know free speech is not absolute. Free speech has limitations, and using it for causing panic, harm or pain to people, is not allowed. An example frequently used is -- you can't run into a movie theater and yell 'fire', or into an elementary school and yell 'active shooter'! You're going to be arrested for either of these things and may get charged after questioning. You also can't use it to defame people, whether it is to cause emotional distress or to spread disinformation that bankrupts them, for example.
I am of the opinion social media has to abide by the exact same rules. If they are allowing child trafficking to go on, they are responsible for it, if they are allowing disinformation that ends up being defamation or causes civil unrest and real world pain and suffering, they are responsible for it, the same as a person who yells fire.
If corporations are people, as our Supreme Court says, then they need to get treated the same as the people. They don't get special privileges above those that we get. Screw that. Same treatment for all, including arrests for violating the same rules we would get arrested for.

Yeah, no thanks, we'll keep him.
He's a decorated soldier, has a degree in history and a masters from Harvard in Russian and Central Asian studies. I'd say he's an asset to us in every way. Also being from Ukraine, and speaking both languages... and understanding the intricacies of both cultures. That's priceless.
If he goes back to Ukraine, Putin just finds a way to poison him or blow up his entire family in a car bomb.
Yeah, he's better off here. Thanks for the suggestion, comrade.

Maybe you guys can put him on Harris's campaign staff, Lord knows she needs all the help she can get.

there is far less concern over a Trump victory than when they had Biden running.
