Pity Wilson didn't listen to Keynes in 1919. Might have resulted in a very different Germany in the 1930s.

But you literally have lied about the circumstances of Floyd’s death. This is undeniable. Right, so why would you have thought that? I never said anything to suggest that, so is there any reason why you’d think that’s what I want, except that it is what you want to happen to convicts? Let’s check, you’ve said you want violent murderers to be executed, you’ve said you don’t want prison to be made easier, you’ve said you don’t want a cent to be spent on prison reform… so this is how you want convicts to live. You want prison to be a dangerous and unpleasant place and you’re totally happy with the idea that convicts will be shanked by other convicts. Now here’s the thing - Derek Chauvin is a convict. You may think he’s wrongly convicted, but they’re is not a second, special prison system for the wrongly convicted. They’re all just convicts. So you cannot escape the fact that how you want the prison system to treat guilty people - you know, the real scumbags who deserve whatever they get - that is exactly the same as how you want the prison system to treat innocent people who got a bad deal in court. You cannot kid yourself into thinking you can have it any other way.

Doctor: "Well, it looks like you’re pregnant." Woman: "Oh my God, I’m pregnant?" Doctor: "No. It just looks like you are."

Don’t regret your oath. You put your life on the line for the people and country you love and cherish. I’m not going to pretend that I think it will come right, but I hope that you’ll find peace and a way forward in the country you now live in.
