I think Trump wants to be dictator. I don’t think the courts will allow him to be, and I think that after months of revolting sycophancy, neither will Congress. He will sink to such a popularity trough that even those spineless, craven gophers will cave.

You know, I am not a particular Kennedy apologist or an awed fan – I was 12 when he was murdered – but I have discussed Kennedy with historians. For his incredibly short tenure, he was a very important president.

The verb “Garland” should be created. It would mean to unfairly put a stinking albatross around someone’s neck, to make him unemployable.

I think there are a good many Donald Trump voters who are sick of government as it is practiced in America and genuinely want to blow up the system and see what happens. They are stupid – or at least unwise – but not necessarily racist.
