But seriously, isn’t there ANYONE in his inner-sanctum of advisors who may have suggested that it was a phenomenally dumb idea to issue such a blanket missive? Someone? ANYONE?? Fnark. ---

Yeah, that’s kind of general. I mean, most liberals are saddened by wealthy people getting away with crimes and massive oil spills, but I don’t see how those would make most others happy. ---

That’s a brilliant insight into your psyche. (by brilliant I meant shining, just to be clear) I’m a Canadian, but also someone, no doubt, you wouldn’t like very much due to my political leanings. Generally I’m less sad than I am annoyed. I think the world as a whole over the long term moves in one direction in terms of it’s overall politics. I’ve lately felt that this feels more like the last stand of the far right conservatives than it does a movement. It’s just a shame so many will get hurt. A lot of which, ironically enough, voted for the man himself. Maybe I’m wrong, just an outsider’s perspective. ---

I was just looking over your past posts and I can only conclude that you’re a stand-up comedian who specializes in sarcastic irony. That’s the only context in which your comments make sense. I think there’s an audience for your material. I’m picturing that Patrick Swayze movie _Road House_ where there was that big [net in front of the stage](https://uncletnuc.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/road-house-bar-2.png?w=734&h=315) to protect the performers from bottles and cans thrown by the audience. But I’ll bet you’d enjoy that, or else you wouldn’t hang around here, amirite? ---

The Democrats are not intervening because it has to play itself out as a failure; the world has to rise up and stop it, and democracy has to be visibly demonstrated by the people.

I just hope the democrats filibuster the hell out of the supreme court nominee. ---
