I feel like Substack is lowkey full of the people who get overly excited about the small things in life which everyone else seems to miss - that morning coffee, the luxury of fresh sheets, the tiny synchronicities, evening light

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

Great discussions

Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.

It's hard to think of an action more damaging to American greatness, or insulting to American freedom, than cutting off cancer research to punish a university for failing to align politically with the current government.

Stop clinging to the broken version of the person you love.

You weren’t called to fix them.

You were called to trust the God who can.

You don’t have to carry their healing. You just have to stop standing in the way of it.

Quite the contrast Lt Col Vindman is to the TFG’s presidency as Col Oliver North was to the Regan presidency.

Thank you Col Vindman for reminding us that honesty, integrity, character, decency, and the rule of law, all matter in a democracy. Thank you for demonstrating the moral courage, at great personal and professional risk and sacrifice. Robert Kennedy said , "Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for thos…

Trump's Vindman is more like Clinton's Linda Tripp.

Joan Friedman (MA, from NY)'s avatar

Not at all.

Linda Tripp lied to her friend (some friend) to get hold of evidence that would show Bill Clinton not having the wherewithal to say no to sex. She used dishonesty and betrayal of a friend to catch a president lying about sex.

Lt. Col. Vindman behaved honorably the entire time, and as a result the public learned that tfg had been shaking down a foreign head of state, illegally witholding necessary money for self defense appropriated by Congress to procure an announcement of an investigation into the family of a political rival.

I believe Lewinsky was freely discussing/bragging about her tryst.

Further, both Vindman and Tripp had Blue Dress Blues ;)

Not to mention, both were equally effective in bringing down the POTUS <rolleyes>

Joan Friedman (MA, from NY)'s avatar

Maybe, but Tripp coaxed Lewinsky to give her the dress with lies about what she was going to do with it.

William's avatar

So? Both produced "evidence"; were the darlings of the opposing Parties; contributed to impeachment charges; and their action led nowhere. Further, she was fired from her job and subsequently filed a court case against the government.

Like it or not, they are rife with similarity

Listing transient and broad consequences their actions had does not make the heart of their motivations, loyalties, and actions remotely alike.

Linda Tripp was no Alexander Vindman. History will not mention them in the same breath.
