We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Trump is a frickin genius. It appears that he knew his pullout from Northern Syria would embolden the ISIS commander and allow the U.S. to find him and target him. It also seems that some politicians were surreptitiously implicated in collaborating with ISIS leadership (something that is right now being hidden from the public). That shoe is going to drop. They got some splaining to do.
