i've at no point presented myself as pro-trump. rather, i've repeatedly stressed the point that the major parties are all terrible and i don't really prefer one over the other.

i guess you didn't believe me.

i'd be no less critical of clinton on most things, especially her foreign policy but also probably her tax cuts, and no less willing to support a few of the prerogatives i agree with, like keynesian infrastructure spending and climate change mitigation strategies.

what i'm most opposed to is being dishonest in order to advance partisan political positions, especially in the context of not identifying with any of the major political parties.

i'm not on anybody's "side"; i'm only on the side of truth and integrity and honest policy-making.

i don't give a fuck about your party. i don't give a fuck about your career. i don't give a fuck about your culture. i'm interested in issues, in a concrete sense. policies. details.

the truth is that there is no real story around russia, except the story of a deep state that wants leverage over an unpredictable president. i have no interest in pretending that there is a story, in order to politically aid a party i'm largely opposed to.

you'll have to look elsewhere for the hack you want. i'm not it.

but, if you want an honest analysis from outside of the restricted spectrum, i'll keep it coming.
