Headline from NYT: “Trump Stuns Lawmakers With Calls for Gun Control”
Six days ago, Trump posted a tweet full of glowing praise for the NRA. I thought it smelled, and said so then. Looks like I was right. He behaved as the perfect pragmatist, as usual, because he had a bunch of “listening sessions,” hearing everyone’s “demands.” William James would be proud.

It was dark because it was anti-ideology. Without the guidance of a philosophy, the world is indeed a scary place. It was typical Trump. https://t.co/FEXQIzo1DA

The "middle of the road" is like an unstable, radioactive element that can last for only so long — and its time is running out.

It's not hate that's the problem; it's the anti-reason mentality of the haters. And indiscriminate love isn't the answer to irrational hate.
