Nope. <br /><br />To pay to set up and administer a giant army of Aryan toughs, to go door to door and drag anyone out who doesn't seem white or "kristian" enough--then to herd them into boxcars to be shipped where no one will ever see them again? Nope--that could run even more than a thousand mile wall.<br /><br />Just the Orange Joker getting up to ask, "Are ya feelin' GREAT yet?"

Not as big as a Trump loss, of course, but the next four years are going to be bad.<br />1. The current bull market is very old, there will be a recession in the next 4 years. (HRC is probably aware of this, so she might try to tank the economy after this election so that it will have time to rebound by 2020).<br />2. Republicans will still be in control of Congress, even if a Trump ticket causes them to lose some seats. This is good for HRC because that means she wouldn't need to do pretend to fight for issues that are not in her donors' interests. No Wall Street reform, no inequality reform, no tax haven reform--she's already given up on college tuition reform saying that there are too many GOP governors so it won't ever work.<br />3. The "out" party almost always makes gains in the mid-terms. Republicans HATE HRC (as we all know). HRC as president will have them stampeding to the polls in 2018. They'll have even larger margins. If we are in a recession by 2018, so much the better for them.<br /><br />Trump is racist, misogynistic, xenophobic and rude, but he's also a useful idiot and a distraction so that we're not looking into the fact that the Clintons' fortune has been built through donations and sweetheart deals by the .1% . Don't look for meaningful economic or Wall Street reform--the one thing we desperately need. From Hillary, it will just be the status quo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-7830105496594528002016-04-30T18:03:10.623-08:002016-04-30T18:03:10.623-08:00If you look at the story, you'll see the judge...If you look at the story, you'll see the judge's hands were tied because the sodomy and rape laws were very similar in verbiage except that the rape law explicitly mentioned drugged/drunk people in a way that made interpretation of the sodomy law reliant on excluding the same victims. We're a nation of laws, and if you were charged with a crime that didn't match what you did, you'd want to be tried on the letter of the law. That said, the law needs to be fixed and a fix should be simple and not be a problem--the fact that the sodomy law wasn't updated was an oversight, but you can't convict someone on what you "meant to do". I do feel for the victim, however--perhaps there can be civil restitution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-73398976273688709052016-04-30T17:51:45.612-08:002016-04-30T17:51:45.612-08:00Gryphon is beyond the point of being able to view ...Gryphon is beyond the point of being able to view HRC critically.

There are many democrats who deserve the DINO name, because they are as regressively entrenched as are those on what is euphemistically called "the other side of the isle". <br />This is one of the reasons why we, as Progressives/Liberals have to badger those who are of like minds into the understanding that unless we VOTE not merely in the presidential elections, but even more importantly, in the off-year and down-ticket ones. We can only prevail if we vote from the bottom up: City, County, School Board (very important), State and Judicial election, all will eventually result in the progressive reforms we need in order to "form that more perfect union" that is so far from our grip at this time.fromthediagonalnoreply@blogger.com
