The Brain

So in Ryan's version of events liberals aren't upset with Trump at all?

Ryan seems... less able.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

The Minsky Moment

The gun manufacturers trying to limit their civil liability would be just thrilled by that expansive notion of harm causation.

No we are upset about things he actually did, not things nobody did.

I guess the conspiracy is Obama did these things?

Saucier took illegal pictures of classified information on a nuclear sub.  He plea-bargained that down to "unlawful retention of national defense information" and got just a year for it, instead of life for espionage (though there was no evidence he was trying to sell the info or working for a foreign power).  He's now suing hordes of people (including Barack Obama) for applying a different standard to Hillary Clinton than was applied to him.  No lawyer will touch his suit.  He seems like a total nutcase, and it's scary that the screening process didn't keep him out of the service, let alone the submarine service.

The Minsky Moment

Hard to blame him when his lawyer validated his raving by presenting it as an legitimate argument in Court and then the President of the United States issued a pardon on the same basis.  The sentencing judge felt bad for him and was lenient, but probably should have noted the lack of willingness to accept responsibility and show true remorse and sentenced more harshly.  Trump would have let him off anyways for saying the magic safe word "Clinton"

The Minsky Moment

When our highest officials regularly make a mockery our legal system, why would we expect ordinary folk to treat it with any more respect?
