RonSupportsYou<p>Andrew Sullivan: “Once you grasp Trump as an elected monarch, his full rebuke to the very idea of America comes into clearer view. He is what this country was founded to oppose: an arbitrary, corrupt, mendacious, and utterly incompetent king. We need to expose his long train of abuses, his unilateral cutting off trade with all parts of the world, his imposition of taxes, i.e. tariffs, without our consent, and his transporting people here to jails in dictatorships from which there is no escape.&quot;</p>

They hated &#39;going after political enemies,&#39; now they’re asking why there isn’t more of it. They &#39;loved&#39; the Constitution, now they’re demanding Trump win a third term.

RonSupportsYou<p>Today some of our leaders &quot;have become the very architects of disorder, stoking division and resentment for personal gain. They do not lead; they inflame. They do not steady the ship; they rock it for effect.

Yesterday I was happy to see a lion dance performed by people in a traditional Chinese lion costume. This was entertainment for tourists in San Francisco, and for anyone else who stopped to look at their artistry. I also saw improvements to Union Square, making it a more attractive place for tourists to visit.
