I have been pondering very heavily my public commentary response since learning about the planning of this event. I ponder it with the weight of history and, more importantly, the legality of what I would write. Cheerfully, I live in France - a free country with a well known history of deposing a king in a brutal, violent, and public way just mere minutes on the metro from where I happen to live.

But that is history. Of course, I highly doubt that les forces de l'ordre would ever turn me over to any prosecutorial power for what I have to say about my desire for the fate of the current occupant of the White House, but a platform even as liberal as this might still have to consider it's own legal standing in regards to what one might wish to publicly write.

I therefore continue to be at an impasse.

Thank you Trump, for taking America's liberal mask off.

I think the child-raping ring thing is more definite but who am I to judge

Is there a word for words that used to have an extremely different meaning to that which they contemporarily have?

You know, like how 'bully' used to mean 'darling'.

the term is semantic drift

The most unrealistic part of that movie is that the President sought the advice from an advisor he believed to be smarter than him.
