monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Will the Party of Lincoln be cowed into becoming an instrument of Trump’s personal brand?

Call me pessimistic, but we’re moving toward a political reality where GOP silence and loyal GOP defenses may lead Trump to believe he can do virtually anything and escape accountability. The GOP is enabling his worst instincts. After all, Democratic rage is meaningless to him, and he relishes conflict with the “fake news”–peddling mainstream media. Because of its current capitulations, the GOP may find itself facing a president truly out of control, willing to do or say anything to escape meaningful scrutiny or accountability.

pot ******* kettle

What French fails to face or grasp is that a party which is behaving as the modern GOP is now behaving must have already become degraded and corrupt to a breadth and depth that suggests recovery is very unlikely. One can't - at least, I certainly can't - imagine how this might happen. And that suggests a very unhappy future for the country.

The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.

But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.

At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.

How to Restore Your Faith in Democracy
In dark times, it’s tempting to give up on politics. The philosopher Charles Taylor explains why we shouldn’t.

because he has one of the best personalities she's ever known.

I'll tell them how good I am in my tweets. I'm the best tweeter ever!

Because Trump knows how to grab 'em by the pussy he is layman's kinda guy. That pretty much says it all.

You two were absolute jokes in the 911 Physics thread. I'd say that you were equals as regards your offering on the science.

You appear to have settled upon agreeing with Trump without any QA'ing of his words.

Do you now say that you too(like our ADD Liar -in-chief) are a liar?? OK, Ill buy that.

Just how much difference is there between you and oralloy, Snood? You both rabidly support US war criminals and terrorists. You both deny reality with a vengeance.
You could be kissing cousins.

oral is of the genus Lemmus Trumptaeii. When Trump jumps off the cliff, there will be a body pile-up of his followers.
