Trump Walks the Tightrope with Considerable Skill
I’m not sure that Trump is as unhinged, and is such a danger to himself, as people say. Though I guess we’ll find out when he goes to trial, defending himself against a wide range of charges, and the prosecution introduces evidence that was derived purely from Trump’s own words, whether verbal or written.
Right now, he seems to be skirting the line that separates free speech from threats against Jack Smith, his judges, and the turncoats from his former inner circle. If you ask me, I’d say he’s doing this with a great deal of skill and panache.
Keep in mind that Trump, now in his 78th year, has survived a lifetime of white-collar crime, without so much as a scraped knee. Let’s also not forget that his very freedom depends on the support of tens of millions of people who hang on his every word of aggression and bravado.
Playing it safely (and honestly) is a quick way to lose that support, and wind up dying in prison. I’ve never seen the inside of a prison, but I’m told they have no gold toilets there.

Here are the words of American singer, writer, actor, and comedian Henry Rollins, and he’s not alone in this belief.
In the days of antiquity, the victors in wars enslaved the people in the countries they had vanquished.
The video below is a piece of political satire I thought readers might enjoy.
When one lives in a constitutional republic that is rooted in democracy, i.e., the will of the people, there is no mechanism to prevent the next Donald Trump. If the people of the land demand a sociopath, that’s precisely what they are going to have.
NASCAR was essentially forced to sanction one of its drivers for mocking the torture-death of George Floyd at the hands of four members of the Minneapolis police department.
Why are our minds so full of cognitive biases, those nasty systematic deviations from rationality, “subjective realities” that supersede our capacity for reason?
