In the history of American democracy, we have had undisciplined presidents. We have had inexperienced presidents. We have had amoral presidents. Rarely if ever before have we had them all at once.
Who will govern the governors? There is only one force in the nation that can be depended upon to keep the government pure and the governors honest, and that is the people themselves.” – Thomas Jefferson.
Unfortunately, my experience serving under this president has left me convinced Trump is shifting America into reverse. He’s not positioning us to strengthen our empire of liberty. Instead he’s left the empire’s flank vulnerable to power-hungry competitors.
The unavoidable conclusion is that the president sees himself as above the law, which is a scary point of view for a person who swears before God and the nation to “faithfully execute” it.
The president’s claim of a Deep State sounds preposterous because it is.

Whoso meddles in affairs that are no business of his, will hear truths that will not please him.
Romance has killed more people than cancer.
Find out his hobbies before dumping him. He may be useful as a friend. Get good at chess; there is nothing more humiliating for a man than to be beaten intellectually by a beautiful woman. You’ll be able to cause him physical pain. If he doesn’t let you know how he’s feeling, call him late. Wake him up. It’s hard for him to hide his feelings when he’s in love with you and you’re speaking softly to him in bed, even if it is only on the phone.
