  1. In all due respect to Mr Brownstein, as an armchair political commentator and lay person, I am someone tuning in from across the world watching former President Donald J. Trump's endless legal nightmare and deftly playing his poker hand close to the vest and ready for the next bluff. Anyone can see that he knows he is a charismatic pied piper of nonsense that has thrilled millions of Americans enough to have them go along with him albeit tongue and cheek. He's the dark prince of American politics whom some might call a pathological narcissist. 1 out of 1,000 Trump troopers would actually go to Civil War and you know it. War in America in the 1860s was possible because the peoples' comfort zones reached out to the front porch in the form of a rocking chair and stopped there; because life was hard. In today's America, comfort is the peoples' opium. Everyone drives to work in cars that all but give you a massage. Portable telephones babysit the children and give tranquilized people piped-in news-of-the-hour 24/7. Every minute of the day there are fun things to do and then all of those freedoms you have in America allow people to live their fantasies out---and hey; let's be real: Trump is a fantasy break-away public figure that has become the reverse Robin Hood by stealing from the poor to give to the rich and the masses of fans and followers of Trump lap it up like milk and honey. When Trump gets life the slammer, he'll become old news fast, because the people that believed in him will turn off his Twilight Zone-life story and move on to the next synthetic-anti-hero that comes along. Only died-in-the wool desperados in America will give up their comfortable lives and grab their guns to fight the law for a has-been political joker who defiles his country and trashes the great Republic and democracy Americans have given so much blood and treasure to defend...
