In reply to I like your question. It is

I know my moms crowd liked this one (around time of Iraq Invasion) "if Simeone days they want peace, Haul od And punch him, them punch him again..." email thread. It was rather shocking. Punch the práce protesters because we're old school and virile. I watched From Here to Eternity not long ago - much of it was *not* wanting to right until you had to. Latin America complained about Tom And Jerry because they thought IT reflected US politice, And Tom's "patience" that wears out was a ruse - that Tom/US intended to Seat them the whole time, And player civilized and cooperative. But Now we're shedding any pretence of shyness - why? 9/11 have US that excuse? Or we win the Cold War so we're justified? Or bitter about gay rights and abortion?

I like your question. It is not a simple thing. If one focuses upon a certain group of factors, they exclude others.

For my part, and it is very personal since I cannot prove it is a part of other things, the element in the rallies in 2016 that struck me was the celebration of violence. All the tough talk about what happens when some people oppose others.

I grew up in that environment. The trading of blows and all that. To get past all that is not something I could do by myself. And maybe I have not gotten past.

For nuance, should put a cross-link here to the Monmouth poll that found the other day that a big majority like their own police just fine, so it must be the other community's cops that are the problem.

In reply to Having worked with other

Now that you have me thinking in that direction, all I can think of is Trump voters who voted for him because they thought it would be a good idea to have the "you're fired" boss character from The Apprentice take at turn at being President. It's an unusual thing when working people think their boss is a smart guy that is doing everything right.. Especially when they are the type that didn't start at the bottom. So why did they think that would work in the role of president?

In reply to The latest Trump babble on

Having worked with other people for many years, I look at it through the lens of performance. If someone is able to adapt to new situations by coming up with new solutions, they are a player. Someone who owns their failures and successes is not afraid to let others decide what happened.

When the only score on the board that can be tolerated is a win, then you are dealing with a serial failure. Not because one can add up what was done or not but because the agent has no language to describe their own limitations.

Trump has never held down a job. Where else could he have developed the requisite experience?

The latest Trump babble on the issue:

If you had a relative who was this incoherent, you’d try to take him straightaway to the nearest neurologist.

Read this. Good Lord. He seems to be getting worse. https://t.co/55kuDm7U4p

You know, it got me thinking that maybe we read this kind of thing from him wrong. That he gets more "dementia-like" in his statements when he actually has taken some effort to listen to one of his pollsters or campaign advisors (since he doesn't read.) When he realizes that his standard agitprop game won't work, which he has practiced for decades so it comes fluently to him, that's when he struggles with words. He hasn't made a script up in his mind for this yet?
