This has been a rule for
as long as we’ve known them. If you get in their sights, bad things happen to you. The latest case in point is Scott Adams, writer of the
Dilbert comic strip who has turned his thoughts to blogging about the
Trump phenomenon. According to Adams, because he has been writing things
favorable to Trump (something he would likely contest as he would claim
that he was merely describing what he was seeing based on his own
experience and training) he has seen his usual schedule of speaking
engagements dropped. This is rather similar to the usual practice of
late for universities to disinvite conservative speakers. Blogging on
the election the way he has, has cost him financially.
Think of her and her minions in the Oval Office, with the power to REALLY screw people for displeasing her.
Protect the Queen, no matter what. Business as usual at the 'Justice' Department.
The Obama administration is moving to dismiss charges against an arms
dealer it had accused of selling weapons that were destined for Libyan
rebels.
...The deal averts a trial that threatened to cast additional scrutiny
on Hillary Clinton’s private emails as Secretary of State, and to expose
reported Central Intelligence Agency attempts to arm rebels fighting
Libyan leader Moammar Qadhafi.
My concern with democracy is highly specific. It begins in observing the
remarkable fact that, while democracy means a government accountable to
the electorate, our rulers now make us accountable to them.
Most Western governments hate me smoking, or eating the wrong kind of
food, or hunting foxes, or drinking too much, and these are merely the
surface disapprovals, the ones that provoke legislation or public
campaigns. We also borrow too much money for our personal pleasures, and
many of us are very bad parents. Ministers of state have been known to
instruct us in elementary matters, such as the importance of reading
stories to our children. Again, many of us have unsound views about
people of other races, cultures, or religions, and the distribution of
our friends does not always correspond, as governments think that it
ought, to the cultural diversity of our society. We must face up to the
grim fact that the rulers we elect are losing patience with us.
