      Is the problem Trump...or the Trump voters? Theoretically, the system of three co-equal branches of government offers some protection against a narcissist blowhard executive head but what protects us from the raging fear of devalued whiteness in 40% plus of the population?

    • Pelu Maad 11/03/2016 at 1:21 pm

      If we can't survive a Trump presidency can we expect a President Hillary will survive the Trump constituency? We have seen the enemy...and he is us.

    • Pelu Maad 12/16/2015 at 11:38 am

      It's really depressing that so many people think in media memes and sound bites and clearly haven't bothered to expose themselves to other perspectives. Thank you for being a lonely voice of reason.

      The AUMF is not a declaration of war....it was a convenient way to avoid actually declaring war.....and facilitating immoral and illegitimate invasions and occupations. This society seems to have lost the ability to tell right from wrong....and the ability to feel shame.

    • Pelu 02/09/2013 at 12:23 pm

      Step #1 to ending it.......STOP calling occupations "wars"....remove the fig leaf and watch it crumble.
