Rogoff was one of the most prominent academics pushing for austerity during the Obama administration, famously coauthoring a paper that said if the debt/GDP ratio goes over 90%, a nation would spontaneously combust. That conclusion was found to be partially the result of a really basic spreadsheet error.

Former independent Sen. Joe Lieberman said Monday that embattled Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam should not resign and there has been "a rush to judgment" on the controversy surrounding a recently resurfaced decades-old racist photo that has consumed the state for the past three days and led to calls for Northam's resignation from officials across the political spectrum.

When asked by CNN's Jim Sciutto on "Newsroom" if he believes Northam should resign, Lieberman said, "I don't today. I mean, I think there's a rush to judgment that is unfair to him."

"One, he says he wasn't in that picture. Two, I think we ought to fairly ask him, 'Did he know the picture was on his page of that yearbook?" And then three, really he ought to be judged in the context of his whole life," he said.

Northam oversaw a regularly scheduled Cabinet meeting Monday morning that a source inside the meeting described as "solemn."

According to that source, the governor specifically said that if he resigns, he would be resigning as a "racist for life," and that the only way he can clear his name is to stay in office and convince people that he is not in that photo and that the photo does not represent who he is.

...

"We are struggling here, there is no better way to put it. We all love the governor," the source in the room told CNN. "We don't think he has a racist bone in his body -- but he can't seem to explain this, and it is making it very difficult for us to stick by him."

MARGARET BRENNAN: But you want to keep troops [in Iraq] now?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: --but when it was chosen-- well, we spent a fortune on building this incredible base. We might as well keep it. And one of the reasons I want to keep it is because I want to be looking a little bit at Iran because Iran is a real problem.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Whoa, that's news. You're keeping troops in Iraq because you want to be able to strike in Iran?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No, because I want to be able to watch Iran. All I want to do is be able to watch. We have an unbelievable and expensive military base built in Iraq. It's perfectly situated for looking at all over different parts of the troubled Middle East rather than pulling up. And this is what a lot of people don't understand. We're going to keep watching and we're going to keep seeing and if there's trouble, if somebody is looking to do nuclear weapons or other things, we're going to know it before they do.

MARGARET BRENNAN: So you're going to trust the intelligence that you receive?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I am going to trust the intelligence that I'm putting there, but I will say this: my intelligence people, if they said in fact that Iran is a wonderful kindergarten, I disagree with them 100 percent. It is a vicious country that kills many people. When you talk about torture and so many other things. And- maybe they'll come back. The country is getting absolutely- when I ended the horrible Iran nuclear deal- it was a horrible deal done by President Obama and John Kerry that didn't know what the hell he was doing. When I ended that deal, Margaret, all of a sudden Iran became a different country. They became- very rapidly- right now they're a country that's in big financial trouble. Let's see what happens.

The Virginia governor intentionally had that year book picture leaked to cover up his views on abortion

Also

The Democrats are the known racist party in the US government and so it's not a surprise that picture popped up

Modern American conservatism seems to be a form of mental illness that inhibits certain basic functions of the brain. These people are even more insane than the mentally conditioned Resetera crowd. I wonder if there is an ICD-10 classification for this type of mental disorder.

"people in this room have supported a wall" Ok. I support borders. But any time you talk about illegal immigration you argue it as if they're only ever criminals.
