Continued insistence that Russia and China are major global threats to everyone and not just American monopoly capitalists […]
Religious cults have always seemed weird to me. Political cults, equally bizarre.

Law schools should have courses on the expanding immunities of government and corporate officials from criminal prosecution and punishment. Guest lecturers, speaking from their experience, could be Donald J. Trump, George W.
