    How to appear decisive and confident

    1. There is an upcoming nomination hearing and a week before it POTUS asks you to meet with the candidate.
    2. Your meeting is great but you don't talk about anything of importance.
    3. During the hearing the candidate flabs the only important question you have for him.
    4. You make up a story where after the questioning you talk to the candidate again and this time he nails the question and you vote yes.
    5. Like a good old boy you go on TV to convey the story boasting with pride. #winning

    The question that Pompeo flubbed was whether the President has authorization to use military force in foreign countries without congressional approval. That was no doubt an important question that got flubbed, but it wasn't the "only important question", nor was it the issue they spoke about in the subsequent meeting.

    #4

    The issue that was spoken about at the subsequent meeting was based on another set of topics that Rand brought up during the hearing that included whether the Iraq war was a mistake, and whether he thought there was a military solution in Afghanistan and Syria.

    "You don't need a medical degree to spot obvious bullshit, that's actually a separate skill." -Scott Adams
    "When you are divided, and angry, and controlled, you target those 'different' from you, not those responsible [controllers]" -Q

    "Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul

    "Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."

    So the questions Rand was asking during the hearing were not that important? What is your point and what is this charade?

    Fontova gets right to the work of debunking familiar notions of Argentinan revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevera; by the end of the preface, he's pinned 14,000 executions on Guevera and credited positive portrayals to the public relations work of Castro and the laziness of biographers. The critical attack continues throughout, combining the testimonies of former revolutionaries and Cuban refugees to assemble a damning portrait of a man lauded by everyone from Jean-Paul Sartre to Jon Lee Anderson. According to Fontova, the real Che was "a revolutionary Ringo Starr" who "fell in with the right bunch and rode their coattails to world fame." Presenting a failed physician, an inept guerrilla and a hapless sycophant, Fontova adds insult to injury by claiming Che was "deathly afraid to drive a motorcycle." Fontova's charged language keeps things interesting, if occasionally dubious; midway through the book, after asserting that Che enjoyed killing dogs, Fontova concedes that, "You might put down your book here and think, this has to be propaganda." Though propaganda probably colors any consideration of this controversial figure, Fontova makes a convincing case that, in the words of one former political prisoner, "There was something seriously wrong with Che Guevera."

    Che was a total $#@!ing loser, man. The peasants didn't join him in an uprising because they didn't trust him. You don't go into someone else's back yard to start a revolution. The Bolivian peasants didn't much give a $#@! for the Argentinian revolutionary. The indigenous people had just been granted land parcels to own for the first time in 300 years. They didn't want to join him and blow that. Che. Such a loser.
