A New Year’s plea to those who support the old regime

We are a nation of rules and the rules are boring. Embrace that. In times of difficulty, go with the boring option. When faced with a frightening crisis, tamp it down with ultra-boring moves. No matter what, stick with the rules.

I can’t avoid talking about Donald Trump but I’m going to make it brief. I know you don’t like him; neither do I. But let’s assume he’s only a politician. He’s not Hitler, Godzilla or the Beast of the Apocalypse—just a guy with a loud mouth and a desperate need for attention. Most Americans think of him that way.

This is not about him. It’s about you.

    The judge and jury, who saw and heard the evidence, found trump liable for sexual assault (trump forcing his hand inside someone’s vagina), battery and defamation.

    Those “few people” are fairly significant as they are the people tasked with determining the responsibility of someone’s actions, like trump’s rape of Carroll.

    The question was whether or not Donald Trump committed sexual assault by refusing to let a woman leave, forcing his hand inside someone’s vagina, and then lying about it and trying to ruin the reputation of the woman he raped.

    Judge and jury says yes, that is what happened.

      Alrighty then, I’m going to take winter’s lead and bow out. There’s no point in arguing with you, is there?

        Winter’s lead? Interesting, I’ve never heard that phrase before. What does that mean?

        There’s no point in commenting misleading information or false premises, no.

        I have tons of time and believe in accuracy, so making anything up or being deliberately misleading won’t work for you here.
