@sandearl Funny how they leave out the second half of that sentence, proving again that a half-truth is a whole lie.

@Tilopa I read bits of ancient history now and then. That added to what I know of modern history often leaves me disheartened. So much human devastation has happened because of criminal lies. And now the major social test seems to be how well they get away with it.

@sandearl I believe over, and above human justice, the law of Karma is infallible. I believe Trump will be indicted, and now we get to sit back and enjoy watching him slowly - or quickly - being chewed up by the DoJ. Besides, if humanity is doomed, and everything is going to thhe dogs, one can still take refuge in magical-thinking, i.e maintain a kind of optimism of the Will, in the face of the pessimism of the intellect. I have to say, I'm giddy with excitement about next week..

@Tilopa I retreat to magical thinking regularly. In fact, I'm pretty sure I cursed Anton Scalia to death. So with you, I believe Trump will eventually serve time, and the uproar about it will be like lancing a boil.
