#2  And, perhaps worst of all, he's so full of himself..

That photo of him on a bicycle with no helmet on, his hair nice and perfect, said it all.

#1  When I hear people like Skeery proudly proclaiming they have a (magic) "plan", knowing full well they aren't worth the paper they're written on, assuming anyone has actually written it out, I am always reminded of sea-going navigation.

Way back when I was fortunate enough to be invited to join a voyage from Malibu to Hawaii - delivering the sailboat to a buyer. It was fascinating to check the chart and our track as we went - innumerable course corrections to counter constantly changing conditions. Sometime, they were surprisingly large as currents had quickly and dramatically, but silently, altered our course.

This was the real world - a lesson not to be forgotten. Only a jackass / novice would've drawn a chartline from point of departure to destination, taken a bearing, shoved off, and assumed that was that. And that is the value of the "plan" - non-existent.

Skeery's a liar, coward, political opportunist, fear and bullshit mongerer, and demogogue of the worst type possible - listening to him is unbelievably dangerous. And, perhaps worst of all, he's so full of himself it's become apparent he actually believes his own bullshit.

"Do you know who I am?"

Yeah... yeah we do.
