Art of The Deal

As most know the reflecting pool renovation has not aged well.

Trump has blamed vandals and suggested prison time of ten years. Find it ironic that if there were vandals that caused this problem, how they should serve more time than the vandals of January 6.

I try, and now less often succeed in giving politicians the benefit of the doubt, concerning their reasons for seeking and holding office. The Citizen's United decision pretty well ordained the increased influence of well monied special interests. An example is the flood of Alme ads months ahead of an election. The ads aren't even officially his.

They answer to PACs and donors.

Or perhapa worse: non-profits who are engaged solely in political activity.

You mean like what happened to Renae Good and Alex Pretti

Oh ya, right.... the "peaceful protesters"......they were anything but.....
I am not saying they should have been killed, it is a tradegy for everyone, that said,
If you interject yourself into a situation like that, your sticking your neck out & expecting the lion not to bite, the very lion that
you have been purposefully provoking.

If this is half true, then the January 6 rioters should have been mowed down, as they broke down the doors.

If that happened in Fallujah, the soldier doing the killing would have been court martialed.
