Nice deflection today, guys. Trump goes off the deep end last night, giving a whacked-out speech, the kind of which if it were happening at a wedding or other public occasion would prompt a good friend to yank the guy off the stage. But rather than address that new low, you start talking Obama and Muslims and race.
As is often mentioned, the election is over. Obama is history. Sharpton was/is an irrelevant footnote. Give it a rest.
There is no point discussing inconsistencies of the past just for the hell of it because there is no end to that and it leads nowhere. For example, the other day Slobodan seemed to be in favour of government subsidy of some company setting up shop in Wisconsin (was it)? Yet a week or so ago, he said that he thought the USA was in danger of socialist collapse. I guess it's ok when governments give away taxpayer money to large successful corporations. What's that, new age capitalism? I'm surprised Alan didn't jump all over that, given how opposed he is to governments picking winners in the economy.
One argument in favour of those subsidies are the spin-off effects, was Slobodan's comment. I wonder what the spin-off effects are of universal medical coverage that prevents millions of people dying or getting sick and falling into bankruptcy. But that would be socialism, I guess.
Trump seems to be fixated on Mexico again. He seems to want to go to the wall over his Wall (sorry). I wish I could draw, but I can't. I have in mind a cartoon where we have a view of the end of the wall, as if in a drone over the Pacific, looking east at the Wall end on, towers with rifles into the distance. But right there, at the end of the wall, at low tide, are these Mexican workers sneaking around the end of the wall, being met by Trump who is loading them onto buses to go work at one of his hotels.
