I hope everybody has seen how fluid, rapidly-growing problems will be handled in America the next 4 years:
When there's trouble and fear, and many are running hither and yon trying to fix the problem, Donald Trump will remain calmly, clearly focused on fixing the blame.

We aren't saying the US should have universal health insurance because a guy got shot and you should be afraid.
We're saying the US should have universal health insurance because we've been saying that for over 30 years since Clinton got elected to do it.
We're just not going to STOP saying that because a guy got shot. We were right before, we're still right, whether somebody committed a crime over the topic, or not.

Well, another cri-de-couer only my few followers will see.
Today, Syria's "Infamous" prisons of harsh conditions, torture, and murder are in the news. As we celebrate the releases, do note:
When the Canadian services mistook Maher Arar for another guy with possible terror connections, and advised the US FBI that Arar would be on their soil for a few hours, changing planes with his family, Americans kidnapped Arar with no warrant and sent him to SYRIA for a year of torture. They're best at it.

I am up to 75 followers (what is wrong with you people?) and should probably admit to being quoted extensively for the front-page Calgary Herald story this morning, from my great wit and wisdom about large water main failures:

You've done good Convoy coverage - but has it ever been released, exactly how much bank-account-locking was done?
Pat King trial has me wondering, don't know those numbers, just that THEY thought it horrendous.
A story comparing olden-days, Occupy, and encampment arrests to the bank accounts frozen, (and the one cracked collarbone) would be a dramatic contrast..

...you mentioned chanting support for Ho Chi Minh in 1968 as something that might shock modern sensibility, since he was a repressive autocrat when in power.
Thing is, he didn't strike Boomers as worse than the ones our nations supported, like Marcos or Pinochet.
If your only choice is between autocrats, I'm back to picking the "power-to-the-people" ones, not the "400 families" autocrats.
