Miscellaneous thoughts about miscellaneous matters

  1. High Crimes

    It has come to my attention that some people do not believe that Donald J. Trump has done anything for which he should be impeached, convicted, and thrown out of office. Maybe those people are confused by the phrase used in the Constitution for reasons for impeachment and conviction: “high crimes and misdemeanors”. That isn’t how it would be put these days, but high crimes means felonies or major crimes, but the term misdemeanor has not significantly changed over the years, and it still means lesser ...

    There seems to be a line of thinking in America that leads toward monarchy. Many people are fascinated by monarchs and things that are regal.
