Lituya: Gary, would unions be faring any better under Hillary Clinton?
I don't think so. That's why I decided to register as a Democrat, so I could become a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Harrington was a bright fellow, maybe he knew what he was doing.

The Irish and Italians came here in huge undocumented waves and they were hated, reviled and discriminated against. Signs stating Irish Not Served Here and Italians Not Hired Here appeared everywhere. Hell's Kitchen in New York became the world's biggest Irish Catholic slum. Where do you think Billy The Kid (William Bonney) came from? Just in the 19th century you could dump them out on the Great Plains and let them shot each other and die out there. Of course, the Italians took over the neighborhoods and formed protection societies that eventually became the Mafia and the Cosa Nostra. Just more crowded today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isidor_Isaac_Rabi
Israel Isaac Rabi was born on 29 July 1898 into a Polish Jewish Orthodox family in Rymanów, Galicia, in what was then part of Austria-Hungary but is now Poland. Soon after he was born, his father, David Rabi, emigrated to the United States. The younger Rabi and his mother, Sheindel, joined David there a few months later, and the family moved into a two-room apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. At home the family spoke Yiddish. When Rabi was enrolled in school, Sheindel said his name was Izzy, and a school official, thinking it was short for Isidor, put that down as his name. Henceforth, that became his official name. Later, in response to anti-Semitism, he started writing his name as Isidor Isaac Rabi, and was known professionally as I.I. Rabi. To most of his friends and family, including his sister Gertrude, who was born in 1903, he was known simply as "Rabi", which was pronounced "Robby". In 1907, the family moved to Brownsville, Brooklyn, where they ran a grocery store.[1]
As a boy, Rabi was interested in science. He read science books borrowed from the public library and built his own radio set. His first scientific paper, on the design of a radio condenser, was published in Modern Electrics when he was in elementary school.[2][3] After reading about Copernican heliocentrism, he became an atheist. "It's all very simple", he told his parents, adding, "Who needs God?"[4] As a compromise with his parents, for his Bar Mitzvah, which was held at home, he gave a speech in Yiddish about how an electric light works. He attended the Manual Training High School in Brooklyn, from which he graduated in 1916.[5] Later that year, he entered Cornell University as an electrical engineering student, but soon switched to chemistry. After the American entry into World War I in 1917, he joined the Student Army Training Corps at Cornell. For his senior thesis, he investigated the oxidation states of manganese. He was awarded his Bachelor of Science degree in June 1919, but since at the time Jews were largely excluded from employment in the chemical industry and academia, he did not receive any job offers. He worked briefly at the Lederle Laboratories, and then as a bookkeeper.[6]

If Norway is so great why does it take 7.5 of their dollars to buy one of ours, huh?

I think Trump's main problem is his words and Tweets utterly lack the nuance a skilled politician possesses.
--------------------
If it were just that, GOOD! Bluntness can be welcome. But many of his 'tweets' instead show profound immaturity probably stemming from a deep inky black pool of insecurity. After 70+ years he still sometimes acts like a kid trying to bolster his ego with self adulation.
But I still don't see a monster, just a clown.
---------
Ya, me too. He's not Hitler, he's not feathering his nest, he's just not used to running a Federal bureaucracy.
Hopefully he'll realize the gravity of his position, clam up, and let the Legislative and Judicial branches steer the course for his tenure with minor Make America Great Again concessions.
I'm surprised about how well the economy, stock market and international relations (we're pissing off the right people, not sucking up to the wrong people) but suspect it's all a balloon that'll burst fairly soon.
Alarmist nuclear war folks, end of the world race, gender, economic inequality folks need not apply. Trump's tenure so far reminds me of Arnold's tenure as Governor of Cali', Arnold was a dunce and screwed things up, but we all survived.
Right now he's grabbing the low hanging fruit and trying to make good on campaign promises. He's a changeling and may become more moderate. We shall see.

I can't wait until the Norwegians feed Trump lutefisk.
And it would be highly amusing if, after the election in November, a Democratic majority decides not to impeach Trump, preferring that the albatross continue to hang on the Republican's necks.
And no doubt some Democrats now regret that they didn't vote to impeach Clinton in 1998, given the fine precedent it would have set for doing so to Trump.
