I think that it went really well considering the ballistic missiles fired during the slayings of the past few weeks. I can endlessly disagree with the man's actions but I've got to give it to him, he's not a pussy and he stands behind what he does. He's gained some of my respect.
I played with a thought of analyzing the talk but I'm going to sit on it.
He handled it very gracefully and it was nice for him to bother with us at all.
I was surprised by his lack of moral turbulence. I expected his rationalizations to be more coherent/cohesive. I'm unqualified. No one is qualified. I'm not in control of the really bad stuff. People want what they want. I'm running a business. The end justifies the means. We're winning so are we bad or is the universe bad?

That's what I'd expect someone that is truly all-in to say, minus the "running a business"... but I'm not sure if that's true, even though I got the feeling he believes it. The running a business part is what makes me doubt the sincerity, which is why I don't want to analyze it rn.
