Russian history has been shaped far more by Stalin's decades-long consolidation of power than by the Lenin/Trotsky revolution.
The Fascist Kleptocrat will die, someday. Eventually.

Something screwy is going on with shipping this holiday. Vendors with 2-day ship are telling us the carriers can't cope. Other vendors are taking 2 weeks instead of 3-5 days.
This is not normal, even for this season.
Wonder if it's UPS new labor agreement being used against us?

Since demand is fairly inflexible and the supply comes from various places, shouldn't we be asking who benefits from these illegal, immoral attacks on small boats in the Caribbean?
It has the smell of a taxpayer supported protection racket.
Somebody always gets fat with this guy in office.

Of the 38.3-million Americans receiving SNAP benefits, only 500,000 qualify for ACA. (If the Google isn't lying to me.)
Maybe it turns out the Dems were uncomfortable asking the poorest, most fragile among us to suffer so more affluent folk could afford health insurance.

He can't really come for NYC, can he? Too much of his actual wealth is tied up in real estate there.
Picture a fleet of code enforcers, tax collectors, fire inspectors...plaguing every property he owns, every property his extended family owns, every property his visible supporters own.

Alfred Jarry's absurdist play, "Ubu Roi," gave name to the spectacular Cleveland punk band Pere Ubu. Which means "King shit," and pardon my french.
Could we have a revival of that play, like, everywhere, all at once?

If we took the entire ICE budget, melted it down, and spent it on homes, on mental health counseling, on jobs training...how much better could the government make city life?

Recently drove a lot of divided highways up the gut of Ohio, across Eastern KY, down to southeastern West VA.
Saw one Trump flag.
One.
A whole lot of American flags, which can mean anything.
I don't think this means Trump support is ebbing.
I think it's a rebranding.
