Statesmanship entails choosing what will go well and avoiding what will not. Politics entails claiming responsibility for what goes well and avoiding blame for what does not. Rolling down the hill is much easier than rolling up the hill.
Suddenly before he could continue/finish his conversation on his phone… a stranger ran towards him, leapt… and DROP-KICK him down the hill. There at the bottom, his broken dead body laid.
That’s the fallacy of democracy/makority rule: weare all stuck with the results of elections decidsed by the 50% plus one vote of the 27% of eligible voters who actually waste their timetrying to pick the lesser/least of two or more evils. They ain’t no sech a thaing! Danae ispreferable to the lot of ’em!
Obama was the first in my memory to blame everything on a previous admin…….and then move forward to do even more damage throwing anyone who disagreed under the bus!

So is “Whatever was…was” and “Whatever will be…will be”?That would be logical.

The most scary thing about US politics is that it is probably one of the least corrupt politcial systems.
An optimist believes we live in the best of all worlds, A pessimist fears this is true.

More likely the fault of those that don’t vote . . aka: the silent majority . . . ☻

Does anyone else have the same sense of foreboding I do seeing Danae this close to her inevitable career in politics? Danger on the horizon….
