He's not doing this to win over conservatives, he's trying to make a deal to keep sending weapons to Ukraine

It's not that it can be measured forever, it's just that it refuses to match up with any line on the ruler.

For a line of length pi: it's somewhere between 3 or 4, so you get a ruler and figure out it's 3.1ish, so you get a better ruler and you get 3.14ish. get the best ruler in existence and you get 3.14159265...ish

As Kirkpatrick described in his own words, the extent of his investigation of whistleblower claims amounted to asking the government’s secret-keepers if a certain illegal program existed. Kirkpatrick’s approach, as astute observers have noted, is roughly akin to asking a mob boss if he is engaging in illegal activity, and subsequently being satisfied with a “no.”
