Only if I accept your bizarre one drop of blood standard. If I prefer, on balance, a Trump-endorsed candidate over the opposing democrat, I don’t see that that makes me a Trumpist. If I disapprove...

I rest my case.

I think what I said applies to both sides of the same wingnut: both the Trump cultists and the jihadis who’ve assigned him the role of the Great Satan. They feed off each other and make each other...

I think you have more in common with those people than you realize.

True fringewittery requires a sort of closed mental system. They are violent, but we are peaceful (the violence attributed to us is really the doing of provocateurs). They hatch violent plots, but we...

I think that belief is limited to the biggest fringewits on the left and right.

When would you issue a search warrant and when would you just subpoena the documents?

What kind of sentence did Sandy Berger get when they caught him with those documents down his pants? I’m...

Raiding a residence isn’t the FBI’s call. So logic and rationality would seem to indicate that who appointed the Director isn’t especially relevant.

Expecting loyalty from an upper level...

You’re right about that. I don’t think either party has terribly clean hands when it comes to weaponizing our security and revenue collection apparatus. Showy raids. Misused FISA warrants. All those...

That would invalidate the ballot.

That’s right. There were four parties on the ballot, but you could only vote for one party’s primary race.

The man in the mirror reflects on the fact that his neighbors who haven’t taken down their Trump signs yet regard him as a “”RINO”, while others dissolve into a puddle of puerile put downs if he...

Said the person who asserted that Ruth Bader Ginsburg “put Roe through”.

As we say up here, you betcha!

It’s a partisan primary. You have to choose one party ‘s ballot.

Yes. The term “race to the bottom” would certainly seem to apply here.

I’m voting in the GOP primary here today. For Governor, I’ll support a former Lt Gov against the Trump guy. Trump reportedly dislikes her because he saw a picture of her kid at a prom with the kid of...

I understand the warrant concerned mishandling classified information. I’d like it to come to something and keep him out of the next round of primaries. If it doesn’t (and maybe if it does) it will...

We must be eternally vigilant; less they try something like creating a Disinformation Governance Board.

Politically speaking, I think inflation is Biden’s biggest albatross. You can trumpet jobs or wage growth all you like, but if everyone in the country gets a reminder every time they make a purchase,...

Couldn’t be. There would be no work for him in nuke-phobic Oregon.

My grandfather fought the Imperial German Army in the Meuse Argonne in 1918 with a bolt action rifle and a big knife. Airplanes overhead were fifteen years away from Kitty Hawk. My first assignment...

I was once told it was immoral for me to send my kid to a private school because the public schools required middle class hostages to function. I never really bought that, and have always tried to...

He’s always had a strange love/hate view of China. I think he’s the one who famously wished he could be “China for a day” so he could impose the policies he favored for the US; A sort of Davos...

I have a very prescient friend. In 2015, he said Trump would be a major force, and I laughed in his face. He predicted the outcome of the 2016 World Series, which was the last time I ever bet...

Does appeasing tyrants make the world more or less stable?
