Not a lot to say, really. More recycling from things that were in the Drafts category, but I’d never posted…
I accidentally had a second prompt for my trip to Georgetown.
That happened, and I described a bit of it yetsterday.
Takeaways I didn’t cover yesterday:
With those out of the way, what else do I have to say….?
I’m trying to keep an open mind about the electoral results. This, really, could be real change in Washington. Notsomuch due to the Trump surrogates’ bigotry, but because at least it’s a completely new crowd.
Regardless of what happens, it’s not going to be an administration full of recycled Ford and Clinton folks (which is what we saw with the last two administrations). If an opportunity presented itself to get me to DC to work in the Administration, I don’t know that I’d turn it down. (Though they probably would want nothing to do with me after I didn’t vote for them…..)
I guess I wrote this coming into a recent administration transition.
I didn’t like the Trump Administration, but how much of it is going to stick, really.
I think if he just declassifies a bunch of stuff on his way out, along with pardons of some hated people from the past *cough*Snowden*cough*Flynn*cough*Assange*cough*Ulbrecht*cough*
It’s pretty incredible how much I’ve “come home,” as it were, on many things.
The entire world was lied to.
I, personally, was opposed to Iraq II until I heard Tony Blair pitch it to Parliament.
But a lot of what was given as intelligence wasn’t true.
So. News from today.
AOC wants a “truth and reconciliation” commission to deal with Trump supporters.
I guess she missed the lectures about this in school. Hell, was she even alive when Tiananmen Square?
Or is it a new House Un-American Activities Committee?
Things that don’t fit in with the artfully-crafted narrative.
