Three ways Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has made history

1. This is the first election since 1940 in which a major party nominated a presidential candidate without any governmental or military experience.

2. It is the first time a presidential candidate from either party has been explicitly anti-free trade since Herbert Hoover in 1932.

3. This is the first time the Republican Party has nominated a candidate openly opposed by its establishment since 1964.

We Need Mr. Smith

This election is still turbulent and still undecided.  The only clarity is the overwhelming support for powerful leadership that will lead to radical political reform and an end to crony capitalism in Washington.

• More than two thirds of voters (67.6%) believe America is on the wrong track.  62.9% believe the American way of life is changing for the worse, and 72.2% believe America is actually in decline.

• 83.7% believe that ordinary people are losing the power to influence our Government.

• 80.4% believe people with money and position play by different rules than the rest of us.

• 80.7% say they believe we have a “two-track economy,” where ordinary people struggle and the elites get the spoils.

Who? Who?

All signs point to “the system” — with Trump and RNC as well as Bernie Sanders and DOJ/FBI complicity — pulling out all the stops to enable a documented crime family to re-occupy the White House. Below as it appeared online.

The Donald Trump Presidential Archive

Author Jerome Corse tweets:

NYPD says FBI HAS TAKEN ALL WEINER 650K evidence to DC. FBI tells NYPD to drop case – repeat DALLAS NOV 22 1963 – OBAMA-HILLARY COUP ALERT

The FBI swoops in to nab up all the evidence the NYPD might have obtained from raiding Huma and Weiner under the auspices of the case being reopened. Or put another way: discovery of evidence by the NYPD relevant to a federal investigation in principle necessitates a response from the FBI. The announcement, therefore, in all its flaccidness, is an intentional red herring to keep thousands of NYPD blue from revolting when all of their evidence disappears into federal control, federal control that has already proven it's not going to indict, staffed by employees that have (so far) proven that they are not rebellious nor blow whistles.

A collection of thoughts about American foreign policy

Since the end of World War 2, the United States has:

  1. Attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments, most of which were democratically-elected.
  2. Dropped bombs on the people of more than 30 countries.
  3. Attempted to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders.
  4. Attempted to suppress a populist or nationalist movement in 20 countries.
  5. Grossly interfered in democratic elections in at least 30 countries.*
  6. Plus … although not easily quantified … has been more involved in the practice of torture than any other country in the world … for over a century … not just performing the actual torture, but teaching it, providing the manuals, and furnishing the equipment.

What I learned from visualizing Hillary Clinton’s emails

Political systems scale poorly. The most influential actors in them are spending a substantial fraction of their mental capacity thinking about how to communicate, and do not have the bandwidth needed to deal with many incoming messages. This is not surprising considering the large number of people they interact with. Our modern political world is one where a few need to interact with many, so they have no time for deep relationships — they physically cannot. So what we are left is with a world of first impressions and public opinion, where the choice of words matters enormously, and becomes central to the job. Yet, the chronic lack of time that comes from having a system where few people govern many.
