Re: where people are treated fairly and equally

ok you young whippersnappers probably don't know who that guy is...

Just to elaborate (because it was a long time ago), "Henry Kissinger" is/was a satirical caricature, based on a well known National Security Adviser named "Dr Strangelove". As with most caricatures, Kissinger was an exaggerated parody that amplified the reactionary, amoral, untrustworthy and warmongering aspects of Strangelove's character for (very) black comedic effect. Apparently, much as with Ali G and Borat, many prominent people were taken in by Kissinger and mistook him for a genuine foreign policy adviser, causing something of a dilemma for the scriptwriters who had assumed the insanity of their creation would be obvious to everyone.

>he was one of the best foreign policy gurus this nation has EVER seen,

And a mass murderer. See Operation Sideshow and the Pinochet coup.

I remember Kissinger well. Among other achievements he was the inspiration for Dr. Strangelove in Stanley Kubrick's movie with that title. From your Wikipedia link:

"Kissinger played a key role in bombing Cambodia to disrupt PAVN and Viet Cong units launching raids into South Vietnam from within Cambodia's borders and resupplying their forces by using the Ho Chi Minh trail and other routes, as well as the 1970 Cambodian Incursion and subsequent widespread bombing of Khmer Rouge targets in Cambodia. The bombing campaign contributed to the chaos of the Cambodian Civil War, which saw the forces of leader Lon Nol unable to retain foreign support to combat the growing Khmer Rouge insurgency that would overthrow him in 1975."

"Kissinger himself said there were about 50,000 civilian casualties in the bombing."

"Along with North Vietnamese Politburo Member Le Duc Tho, Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on December 10, 1973."

"So Trump is going to appoint his replacement?"

I find something very incongruous in that likely action.

No doubt the same behavior in private but probably a judge that is incompetent.

I suspect that your second thought is not likely as the behavior that is described is ending many male careers presently.

Possible yes.

Re: Never ceases to amaze

Those who wield some power fool themselves into thinking they have power over all things. This is why Tech Startup bro's, Presidents, and Judges behave like leering sex-pest bellends.

Re: Never ceases to amaze

So what's going wrong? Is it ego? Chemical imbalance (testosterone)? Something in the water?

It seems that with power comes the feeling to become almighty and untouchable, which is often true. In some rare occasions, once of twice per century, even the powerful ones are served the same justice than the ordinary people. But most of the time they can do quite anything without any consequence, so they get used to it.
