Notice how sometimes people who look good when they run turn out to be f***ing idiots once they're elected?

Nonetheless, what happened to being responsible for one's decisions? Is isn't as if Trump had a record of following through on his promises. These are the people who gave us Trump. That many will regret it or already do does not absolve them for participating in the worst travesty in our history.

Gulf of Trump is next. Or maybe Golf of Trump to be more in character. After all, if we throw out 600 years of history, who cares about one vowel?

Her five things might be to explain why she voted to confirm RFK, Jr, in the face of a measles outbreak among unvaccinated kids in rural Texas. She's turning into the Albert Speer version of the "good Republican."

But do they know that? This country has recently displayed a profound ignorance extending to even the most fundamental principles of democratic government. Why would that ignorance not also extend to the most fundamental principles of economics or science?

But there are reasons. It doesn't just happen. Reagan was a master at it before social media, but social media have provided an excellent road map.

Lessons From the True Mad Men
Back in high school, I and most of my friends favored the same philosophical journal.

If you don't know anything about Connie Hawkins, you should look him up. He pretty much invented the modern game, at least pre-3 point.

Yet Trump greatly increased his share of the Black vote. Latinos and Arab Americans too. Sort of points up our biggest problem--national ignorance. Trump is merely behaving in character.

Know how he got the name? It was at the Rucker tourny, when someone said, "Come and see Dr. J operate." Still remember him dunking from the foul line in the All-Star game. He was the second coming of Connie Hawkins.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

We have become, alas, a profoundly ignorant nation. Dearborn, Michigan, the first American city to be majority Arab American voted for Trump!!! He also got much more support from Blacks, Latinos, and the rural population, all of whom are going to be among the hardest hit by Trump's policies.

Thanks. I've been posting on Substack, called Politics Off-Center. Constitutional history is my main gig. Scary thing for me is that, no, we've never been here before, not even in 1860 or the 1930s.

Thanks. Those were the 2nd and 3rd of books on the incredible spate of innovation late 19th/early 20th century. They followed Birdmen because I found a lot of overlap among aviation, automobiles, and submarines.
