Ulysses S. Grant:

Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate.

Lowering the Barr, Russian Impulses Dept. 0

Nancy LeTourneau investigates Donald Trump and Bill Barr’s tactic of selective deception. A snippet:

But while the attorney general demonstrates that he is more interested in punishing Trump’s accusers than he is in this country’s national security, it is important to keep in mind that this whole charade is based on a lie. From the beginning, efforts to defend the president have been based on convincing everyone that the entire Trump-Russia investigation was based on the Steele dossier. Therefore, Trump and his enablers believe that if that document can be discredited, it shows that the whole thing was a hoax—or even an attempted coup.

Presidented 0

Werner Herzog’s Bear marvels at the irony that the Reagan Foundation has requested that Donald Trump no longer use Ronald Reagan’s name in fundraising. He notes that, even though Reagan knew much better than Trump how to conduct himself in public, Reagan’s policies presaged in many ways Donald Trump’s actions. Here’s one example; follow the link for the rest.

Immediately after getting elected in governor 1966 Reagan sought to repeal the Rumford Fair Housing Act, a law that prohibited housing discrimination in California. National bans on discrimination would not be in place until 1968. Reagan claimed he was only defending property rights. Trump’s recent Twitter diatribes about the suburbs being banned due to housing integration if Biden gets elected fall firmly into the same tradition.

Aside:

I say “Trump’s actions,” not Trump’s policies, for, as far as I can tell, Donald Trump does nothing consistently enough to warrant the sobriquet of “policy.”

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
