monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Take it up with French...it's his quote

As I said, the smarter folks here will understand.

If it's fair for the Democrats to damage Republicans with fake investigations, then it is fair for Republicans to do the same to Democrats.

Especially when those Democrats do the very same things that they lynch Republicans for doing.

Isn't that what so many Democrats were saying about Trump?

Police arrested 63 people at a house party after finding less than 1 ounce of marijuana
Some of the attendees spent several days in jail.

...According to jail records, the 63 individuals who were arrested Saturday night were processed by Monday night. All were charged with a single count of marijuana possession. The individuals arrested were predominantly black males aged 19 to 25. Channel 2 reports some have lost their jobs as a result of spending multiple days in jail.

In Athens, Georgia, a city with a similar racial makeup as Cartersville, black individuals were found to be 4.7 times more likely to be charged with a marijuana violation than white individuals. The same discrepancy exists on the national level as well.

Says the guy who never thinks for himself and only ever links to presumed intellectuals and yells "Look everyone! Look! Look! I think what that guy over there thinks!"

Any Republican candidate in a statewide contest in Utah is going to be the likely winner. In that Romney hasn't been known to be a great fan of Trump and has at times shown hints of independence and decency, having him replace Hatch might not amount to much more than a wash.

I look forward to the smarter folks explaining it to us dumb ones.

The current unrest looks different. So far, the middle class and the highly educated have been more witnesses than participants. Nonviolence is not a sacred principle. The protests first intensified in small religious towns all over the country, where the government used to take its support for granted. Metropolitan areas have so far lagged behind.

Demands like freedom of speech and the rights of women and religious minorities have, for the most part, been either absent or vaguely implied. In one of the rare videos of protesters talking to the news media, they all mention unemployment, inflation and the looting of national wealth: A woman asks President Hassan Rouhani to live on only her salary of $300 a month; a veteran of the Iran-Iraq war says he considers himself among “the forgotten”; an elderly woman talks about her 75-year-old husband, who works long hours to make ends meet. The chants are also different this time. “Where is my vote?” and “Free political prisoners!” dominated in 2009. Today they have been replaced with “No to inflation!” and “Down with embezzlers!” and “Leave the country alone, mullahs.

Protests over economic grievances are hardly new in Iran: riots over inflation in Islamshahr and Mashad in the 1990s, frequent strikes by the bus drivers union in the 2000s, protests by schoolteachers over unpaid wages. Those voices were barely heard. They came from the bottom of society and were either stifled halfway through by the government or drowned out by civil rights activists with better access to the international media. They have now forced their way to the surface and emerged as a resonant, nationwide cry for justice and equality.

Since the 1979 revolution, Iranian politics has been defined by a split between reformists and principlists, conservatives who say they are devoted to the principles of the revolution. During the 1999 and 2009 uprisings, the protesters enjoyed support from powerful reformists. This time, the dichotomy has been transcended. The demonstrators don’t want support from anyone associated with the status quo, including Mr. Rouhani, the reformist president. No wonder prominent reformist figures, even Ebrahim Nabavi, a dissident journalist living in exile, disparaged the protesters as “the potato-eating mob.”
