Lacking Faith Or Compassion

They’re only surprised he’s so delusional. How many people in Trump’s “retribution” campaign have “faced justice” so far? His DOJ has set a record for grand jury no bills; more AAG’s declared unqualified and improperly appointed than any administration in history (eliminating every case they touched); and plenty of jury nullifications. Obama will face justice? Not from this administration. Where some see generosity...
Jennings: I care about where Alex Pretti came from, what part of what group was he in? Was he part of any kind of a training organization? I believe that there are well organized, well trained and well-funded agitators who are showing up

West: Where you see professional agitators, I see courageous citizens who have a righteous indignation and a moral outrage
...others see cold commerce. All a matter of what you’re capable of seeing. Which goes to the quality of the observer. And how much training does it take to blow a whistle? Granted, some people need training to show compassion; and never learn. (And I don’t give a shit about Jennings. He’s paid to be a troll (irony!). And equally ironically, he was actually the rational and almost reasonable one in the opposition for this discussion. See? CNN does it for the clicks, and the audience share. Shame on us for clicking, so we can complain about it.) She would, too. I’ve seen the tape. If only we could get the Cabinet and VP to agree. Which is what bewilders Trump; and Jennings. Maybe this is the training Jennings is worried about. I can see this question of compassion is going to be part of the national discussion for awhile. It certainly separates out the sociopaths. That does, too.

    Turns out shitposting, trolling and dominance politics (which may well be all the same thing, psychologically speaking, I'm basically a cow herder) can take you a long way- all the way to the White House- but when you can't not do it, and push everything as far as you can, you just end up making things a lot harder for yourself than they need to be.

    Which is better for the country in the long run. It really wouldn't have taken that much restraint and Trump could have more effectively consolidated the gains he made early on when the large institutions competed to see which one could roll over the hardest.

      I think in the end we won’t say the system saved us, but the people did. The ones with faith and compassion, anyway.
