COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Be fair to the Illegals from El Salvador and Haiti - Bring Diversity and Cultural Enrichment to Martha's Vineyard


Martha's Vineyard is seasonal and  underused. There are plenty of open spaces. It is overwhelmingly Democratic and very liberal so there would be an overtly loving welcome to the noble migrants looking for a better life. 

Please do the right thing and support the natural right of Haitians and Salvadorians to resettle in Martha's Vineyard. 

It would complete the legacy of the "Lion of the Senate", Ted Kennedy.

Careful thought should also be given to opening the Hamptons to the DACA children.

When I first was assigned to a Greek Air Force base in Larissa, Greece in the 1960,s, few public toilets, such as at bus stops and in rural villages had functional water flushing toilet bowls. They had what we referred to as "bomb sites". The fancier versions were ceramic tile platforms with a 4" hole in the center that led to a pit hole or bucket underneath. It went down from there. You dropped your drawers, squatted, hoped your aim was on and didn't step in the slop left by previous less accurate users.

      The Greeks in their own language called them "shitholes". The privies were called "shithouses".

      Trump is a habitual liar. The WaPo listed nearly 2,000 times he either lied or misstated the truth last year alone. A study estimated that he only tells the whole, unvarnished truth about 16% of the time. Naw, I wouldn't want him being deposed if I was a lawyer. A lot of risk.

    ... the unverified nature of the dossier is precisely why the FBI decided to look into the allegations, rather than accept them as evidence, and why the dossier should not be used to undermine what federal authorities have since uncovered, according to law enforcement veterans.


    "There may be 90 percent of that dossier that is a complete bunch of [baloney]," said Bob Anderson, who oversaw counterintelligence cases for the FBI before heading its cyber and criminal branch. "But a piece matches with other potentially credible sources that [FBI agents] have ... so now they’re going to dig a little more."
    . . .

    In fact, even without the dossier, the U.S. intelligence community was in possession of information warranting an FBI probe

    "I was aware of intelligence and information about contacts between Russian officials and U.S. persons that raised concerns in my mind about whether or not those individuals were cooperating with the Russians, either in a witting or unwitting fashion, and it served as the basis for the FBI investigation to determine whether such collusion [or] cooperation occurred," former CIA Director John Brennan told the House Judiciary Committee last year.

    For the FBI, the dossier was essentially just another tip.


    "This particular matter was complicated by the fact that the 'main subject' happened to be the Republican nominee for President of the United States," but "we still had an obligation to look at it as part of our effort to protect the Republic from foreign threats," according to Frank Montoya, who spent more than two decades with the FBI and another two years leading U.S. counterintelligence policy under the Director of National Intelligence.

    The Danger in Depositions


    Trump has given dozens of depositions in lawsuit-laden business career, but he could face tougher grilling in Russia inquiry

    If President Trump is interviewed by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, a step that may be unavoidable in the Russia investigation, he'll square off with prosecutors who have spent decades firing questions at corrupt politicians, crooked businessmen and organized crime leaders.

    But the prosecutors wouldn't be the only seasoned veterans in the room. By his own account, Trump has sat for dozens of depositions in his career as a bellicose business mogul in New York, one who routinely drew legal challenges from aggrieved competitors, contractors, customers and state attorneys general...

    ...Trump may have a more difficult time. Lawyers who have grilled him in the past describe him as charming and focused, but also arrogant, glib and dishonest, characteristics that could prove troublesome if Mueller's team finds he has a clear conflict with the truth...

    ...He also turned on the charm when the case went to trial in Broward County, Fla., in 2014. While reading a document on the witness stand, Trump asked the judge to borrow his glasses.

    "Can I use your glasses again, your honor? Is that possible? I hate to do this to you," Trump said.
    When he finished testifying, the judge dismissed Trump by saying, "You're fired," the trademark line from Trump's reality TV show "The Apprentice." The jury ruled in Trump's favor.

    "People underestimate him," Beck said. "I saw grown men, attorneys, become gelatinous in front of him..."

    ...It's unlikely that Mueller, a former Marine Corps officer who fought in Vietnam, will turn weak in the knees. In 2004, Mueller famously threatened to resign as FBI director if President George W. Bush reauthorized a warrantless wiretap program without making changes. Bush backed down.

    Mueller is also far more powerful than lawyers in civil cases...

    ..."Mueller holds the cards here," said Alan Dershowitz, a constitutional and criminal law scholar who is an emeritus professor at Harvard Law School.

    Trump is famously loose with the facts, sometimes shading the truth or fabricating his own. Doing that in an interview with federal investigators is a potential felony, even if the president is not under oath.
