The Trumpling, in One Sentence 0

In a column musing on who will take get saddled with the blame for a (potential at the time the column was written) government shutdown, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gene Collier sums up the status quo.

It’s not pretty, but it is where we are.

Right now it’s just a matter of masked, weapons-brandishing federal agents disappearing Americans off the street, people with assault rifles shooting into schools and churches every other week, political assassinations gathering frequency, National Guard troops in the streets, the president threatening to use liberal cities as military training grounds, the government blowing boats out of the water like a drunk with a video game, kneecapping education, research, foreign aid, national health policy, and generally doing everything in its accelerating power to make us dumber, sicker, poorer, less secure, and more fearful every day, and if Trump sat down tonight and signed an executive order allowing him to hit anyone he wanted in the back of the head with a baseball bat, no one would be surprised.

Follow the link for the rest, in which Collier reveals that he is less than optimistic.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

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!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
