Be prepared. You have to understand Trump to stand calmly up to him and those running with him all over the country.

“What’s it going to take for folks to get off their duffs and onto the street corners? What I am suggesting is not revolution, rather evolution.”

“To address this affliction Americans need to scrap the entire idea of radical individualism and replace it with a community-minded version of social democracy. How likely is that? Well, I would not hold my breath.”

“In a season of political hacks claiming they have suddenly ‘found religion’ regarding our civil and human rights; all I can say to Jill is, Amen.”

Trump is a walking, talking contradiction machine: a guy drenched in money pitching working class crowds who think they deserve more but, instead of getting retrained, blame minorities for “stealing their jobs, if not “their country.” Where else but in America would the “people’s billionaire,” selling out his campaign in an NY second, look the aggrieved masses in the face and promise the moon: jobs galore, great salaries and perks, lower taxes, and more security against all foes? And all delivered just for voting Trump. Long elections mean contradictions eventually come home to roost.

“If only enough of our countries' public will demand holding those war criminals accountable, and keep at it... then we will send the rest of the world a sincere message.”

The Obama administration is still holding their ground on the decision saying that transgender kids are already a vulnerable minority.

“It is unlikely that Comey’s highly flawed legal explanation for the FBI’s institutionally inappropriate spiking of the prosecution of Hillary Clinton will escape the political verdict rendered by Trump and others that it was ‘rigged.’”

“If we are a nation “of laws, not of men” (as that old basic description of democracy phrased it), then Ms. Clinton will be prosecuted, at least through the grand jury stage, on (at least) those grounds.”

“As for the United Kingdom, it will be wise to stick to the referendum and leave the unaccountable, undemocratic and over-regulated EU that is flirting with imperial goals. Shaken but not stirred after Brexit, Great Britain will be just fine.”
