Yes, He's the Jackass We All Assumed Him To Be

It would be awesome if this hush money paid for out of campaign funds idea were the thing to finally bring Trump to his knees.

The Professionals at the FBI


Of course agents have their own beliefs, of course they will bleed over into their enforcement, of course power corrupts and the citizenry should ask for accountability. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Lynch? Coordinating? No Way, No One Would Believe Such A Thing

A million years ago when I was in flight training we would eat lunch at the O club and SA would be on the screen. I just stared, she was so gorgeous I could not take my eyes off of her. I was a 20-something, there was not much better in life than looking at pretty girls. I chuckle now as she comes back into the "picture" as such a heavy weight investigator. Awesome.

He's a racist/bigot/baby eater!

I do my best not to care about what the prez sez or how over the top the reaction is ("he eats babies for breakfast!"), the reason folks leave their countries to come here isn't because they are curious what the US is like. The driver is desperation due to corrupt political systems restricting economic liberty, little rule of law, and other obstacles to participation in cooperative economic activity for one's own benefit.
That does not mean those are bad people, but I'm completely comfortable saying their political culture is bad and I would not like to import that culture.
I've called those countries the "S" word in political rants before, for reasons I consider obvious. One reason it is obvious is that poor people in the US don't go there for opportunity, because those places are ...
It is possible to talk about regions, countries, cultures and not have any hate or ill will towards those unfortunate enough to be stuck there.
Racism and bigotry is the human experience. It degenerates the quality of life of those who can't see through it, just as seeing the human behind every face makes life better.
What makes it monstrous is when racism/bigotry becomes the official policy of governments.
If calling a country with an oppressive government, little rule of law and no opportunity for the poor to participate in productivity "a ****hole" is racist, well, sign me up with a capital R.
