Czechoslovakia 1938 = Opinion: Trump 'may be wrong' about Kim, much as Chamberlain was about Hitler


On a recent morning, it dawned on me – at dawn – that the rules of political life are much like the rules of boxing: they are structured to favor specific people, but are applied as if they are neutral, perfect rules.

Boxing is governed by rules that favor upper body strength. The only legitimate targets are the body and the upper torso; hitting “below the belt” is strictly prohibited.

President Donald J Trump told the world:
What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

All of the women on 'The Apprentice' flirted with me — consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected. A sexual dynamic is always present between people, unless you are asexual.

Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.

“Dear Mr. McGahn (White House Counsel) & Mr. Flood (Special Counsel to the President): “We, legal scholars who study and teach constitutional and criminal law, write in connection with the President’s apparent belief that he is empowered by the Constitution to halt the Special Counsel’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election for any reason whatsoever, and his apparent view that he is not constrained by Congress’s duly enacted laws prohibiting the obstruction of justice
