I keep inadvertantly erasing my response so that by now I'm more irritated by myself than I am by Moe! Sheesh, can't even learn how to hate properly. The failure of the liberal imagination, I'd guess.

That said, a couple points:

On qualified voters - did he not just claim that many millions of same just voted for Hillary and therefore is launching a massive investigation into the election he kinda won? Maybe I missed something.

On progressive taxes, c'mon. Reducing the progressiivity but leaving some remaining in code if not in actual incidence doesn't count. You're being disengenuous.

World alienation: Almost all of Europe and Asia are in shock. Our security arrangements are in question. Our trade regime is in tatters. Wouldn't we be shocked if people weren't alienated?

I never sugested that Trump had violated anything other than common sense, but I'd be very surprised if the immigration ban was upheld in court as it was transparently aimed at particular religionists. Still, the EO was a provocation not a policy. It's Steve Bannon ginning up the white nationalists hordes.

I'll stop as I guess almost nobody wants us to go on with this discussion. Would love to have it instead over a beer sometime. Speaking of which, I'll be in Seattle for the launch of Off Speed in May. We should all gather to throw beer cups at one another and to insist that Doc get his hair styled. Come in for a game, Moe.
