“The defect of the upper and middle classes that believe themselves to be the owners of a country by day and then lock themselves away in fear by nightfall. A class which decisively says, we are going to take Miraflores “it’s our right”, and then after the first shot is fired, denounces the “collectives” and “motorcyclists” in terror.

The Russians didn’t do it. Your candidate simply sucked.

All this was set in motion when the DNC’s mail server was first violated in the spring of 2016 and by subsequent assertions that Russians were behind that “hack” and another such operation, also described as a Russian hack, on July 5.

The evolution of public discourse in the year since is worthy of scholarly study: Possibilities became allegations, and these became probabilities. Then the probabilities turned into certainties, and these evolved into what are now taken to be established truths.

The only question is not what he’ll hit but the severity of the action. For a president this embattled why not consider the “nuclear option”?

By which, of course, I mean the nuclear option.

I’d fire him for being an idiot. Then I’d fire him again recursively ad infinitum.

What an idiot. There’s a reason why diversity programs aren’t video recorded and shared with the world, and it’s nothing to do with their being a sinister conspiracy.
