I can enjoy the company of someone who I have reasonable disagreements with. But someone who actively rubber-stamps torture, in violation of the law of the land, international law, and basic human compassion, is a detestable turd of a human being. It's hard for me to imagine having a pleasant interaction with a man whose regard for human life is that low.

And then I slap myself (mentally & physically) because, yes, he really was that bad. But I still kinda like him. Does that make me weird?
