  1. But the lady's gotta point, too. He is kind of echo-chamber-grown, making some pretty incendiary statements. It's gone around various circles of political thought, for instance people talking openly about wishing the president dead, after their side got worked up into a frenzy of dislike and disgust towards Trump. One person goes off, and the next one feeds off that, and nobody but the right were calling people out for how over-the-top it was, because of the depth of the wrongness they felt towards Trump. What people don't get about Trump is the one thing he's good at is hiring and firing, but especially firing. Things don't turn out well, he's at least smart enough to see that, and move on. Getting good people is hard, even if you're aggressive and smart about keeping the good ones. It's never about the man, himself, so much as the people he can put around himself. Great generals? It's all about their staff. And maybe the one thing that was good about the general was picking and training staff, even though he was pretty dense about the finer points of strategy and tactics. I wanna say "Tyrant of Jupiter." ... That was the protagonists' one gift. He could take one look at a person, and KNOW them... Get a 100%-true "read" on the applicant for the job. A total empath. Anyway, Trump's not the master of anything, except salesmanship. He's a TOTAL salesman. He'll say this, he'll say that, until things are framed in a form he likes, and he'll make a deal. He'll talk all sharp against DACA, and then turn tail, leaving the Democrats in the position of turning tail, themselves, because he's sneaking in long-term solutions, by pushing merit-based immigration. Really, just a return to a sustainable level, rather than slamming entire neighborhoods and regions with more than they're built to handle. We can do more good contributing to CARE and the Red Cross, ourselves, for the refugees, and put food and shelter where THEY are. We can help many more, that way.

  2. A self-professed "anarcho-communist." He does make a good point about the War on Drugs, though. We make millions into law-breakers, rather than treat them like citizens with a medical condition. If you smoke weed or do hard drugs, you don't want cops around, and you're suspicious of cops. There's no reason for that. A druggie should just be another intoxicated citizen, who may need to spend the night in the drunk tank. But making the drugs, themselves, illegal, the cops are out there enforcing laws that otherwise good and nonviolent people break every day. And they create an ecological niche for organized crime. We DO need to stop feeding the prison industrial complex. We do need to stop feeding MS13 and all other drug gangs. Drug abuse isn't something you fix by criminalizing it. Legalize it. Tax it. Install clinics with those funds from purchase of the drugs, right next door to the drug store, which should operate a lot like state-licensed liquor stores. That's how you grapple with evils like alcohol. Tax it and hold people strictly accountable for their actions.
