I finally had to look up the word “evil.” Its origin is more ancient than I would have thought. While it has other connotations it primarily cites a moral wrong with deliberate intent. I don’t think that’s the case with this administration. It seems more a case of someone who is "best of tribe’ ( and NO that is not a racial reference; it is a behavioral description) in his or her family / milieu.. “Best of tribe” describes someone, often a first-born, who is legitimately the best and brightest of the people he or she grew up with. Their whole life is shaped by this and they often behave with an innate belief that they know better than all around them, often with very little fact or reality in evidence. That’s what I see with this administration, along with the complete obliviousness to reality that goes with “b o t.” For evil, deliberate intent to at the very least pursue one’s own agenda regardless of consequences to others, I would look to the savvy, street-wise, supremely cynical political hacks who made it possible for this city activist to become POTUS.
I’m sorry. I forgot people like you read these. I’ll make this simple: 1. Not intending any passes. 2. Trying to understand motives. 3. Trolls come in all forms: some shove things down people’s throats because it’s good for them; some are angrily dismissive.

@firedomeCheney’s not in office anymore. Obama is.

I wonder what happens when Bunny realizes the Obama administration (hopefully) isn’t really evil, but breathtakingly incompetent…

Dear echoraven, I hope you are correct. The alternative is too terrible to contemplate.

Yep I got a better health care via the ACA. So did many of my friends. Suck on that rabbit.

I’ll know in mid-January how much more my health care will cost.
