About this deal

The book takes the form of a series of diary entries, or postings, in which Sopel updates his thoughts as events unfold. This possibility is enough to make every public opponent of Trump’s regime a legitimate target for state violence.

The semantics are the keys that unlock a vast array of state capacities, up to and including the right to kidnap and imprison people indefinitely without trial, to conduct summary executions, and to invade foreign countries and overthrow their governments. This information should not be considered complete, up to date, and is not intended to be used in place of a visit, consultation, or advice of a legal, medical, or any other professional.In Trumpworld, however, any acknowledgment of historical patterns can express itself only as a burlesque.

It made me realise I’d really like an American perspective - not someone in either political camp but a Thompson or a PJ O’Rourke, who’s not afraid to take the gloves off. Having enjoyed, “If only they didn’t speak English,” by Jon Sopel, I was keen to read his latest book (I need to go back and read, “A Year at the Circus: Inside Trump’s White House” and intend to do so). In informal or colloquial language, people often use slang or non-standard words that do not adhere to the strict rules of grammar and usage.

Trump cited this outrage as evidence of the “dangerously permissive atmosphere which allows criminals of every age to beat and rape a helpless woman.

As you can see from the example above, using “unprecedented” instead of “unpresidented” completely changes the meaning of the sentence. After the protests began Trump’s barely latent lust for armed conflict surfaced with extraordinary rapidity, with the president instructing governors in the imperative for “overwhelming force” and “domination” over the enemy citizenry and conjuring “vicious dogs” and “ominous weapons. This militaristic response from Trump and the Republicans is, of course, too much—outrageously in excess of any actual threat, even from the violent fringe of overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations.On Brett's "big ideas" slide, " Baby Shark", a children's song associated with Pinkfong, a South Korean entertainment company, is listed. that I was gonna get some serious lovin from folks who appreciate a good book now and then, but instead I get mocked and have to look at a stinking scandal catalog every time i type my name in!
