What a reactionary society, you'd say! One of many across Europe lately, I'd add. Have people paradoxically become stupider and more misinformed as the age of total and instant information advances, you'd ask? Well, partly so. But there's more to that story. It could all actually be a result of a well coordinated effort. So do bear with me, as we delve deeper into the backyard shenanigans of populist right-wing NGOs.

Seeking refuge for a homeless democracy

In an interview broadcast yesterday evening, President Trump indicated that he would ... again ... be prepared to accept "dirt" on an opponent from a foreign government.  As he should know by now, the "foreign government" part makes this illegal.

 

The Speaker of the House has criticized him for this, but has still not (last time I checked) called for beginning a formal impeachment inquiry.

- Canada?

 

- Germany?

 

- Iceland?

 

- South Africa?

 

- Switzerland?

 

Any others come to mind?
