Who'll win the 2020 rematch?

The point is that the "Post-political" is just rhetoric. The Clinton Foundation satisfies the criteria being discussed. But that was precisely Tak's point... you rushed and misinterpreted I think...

Wait. Tak has a sense of irony? Tell me it's not so.

I was not seriously disputing the point. However, in no context do Clinton and post-political fit. That is the real irony.

It was more of a shot at wherever he got his information from. His source of information obviously has him believing that the FBI is leaderless right now, which is far from the truth. There may not yet be a permanent replacement for Comey, but the FBI is certainly not without someone to call the shots and make decisions.

All right, let's expand and clarify my post. There is no appointed head.

Unless you run out of agents (and there's a great number of them) you'll always have an acting head. But the FBI's head was fired as a reflex, without any replacement in mind. Why? Appointing somebody is supposed to be a well-thought-out process, you decide on a policy regarding crime, drugs, espionage, etc. and then find somebody capable of doing it. What kind of person does this? One with no policy for law enforcement.

My uncle cut off contact with the rest of the family a few weeks ago because my mom posted something negative about Trump on Facebook.

Deep down, my fear is that the only thing some of the supporters want is to win and feel like winners and there is no compromise to be made there. What do we do with people who run away when you deliver bad news? Not even argues with you but just cuts off contact.

Triumphalism is one of the keys to the success of people like this. ‘Vote me and I'll win. I'll win, so vote me. Vote me, because I will win. My victory is your victory. Vote me so that you can feel like a winner too!’

Significantly, the only rulers who express admiration for El Donald in 'Merica's back yard are the allegedly leftwing caudillos.
