There's a new viral disease in the air, and it has a name, a middle name and a surname, I. E. Donald John Trump which will soon become known and feared across the world as djt syndrome. Its symptoms are strongly associated with higher levels of explicit racism, sexism, homophobia and several other forms of discrimination and bigotry, amongst them, at least for now, we can list: Trumpism, kukluxklanism, acute dementia, paranoia and psychosis with mood disorders. An evil that must be purged out of the American society before it gains power and becomes too strong to overcome.

An ordinary human being, with a personal conscience, personally answering for something to somebody and personally and directly taking responsibility, seems to be receding farther and farther from the realm of politics. Politicians seem to turn into puppets that only look human and move in a giant, rather inhuman theatre; they appear to become merely cogs in a huge machine, objects of a major civilizational automatism which has gotten out of control and for which nobody is responsible.

A Constitution is not intended to embody a particular economic theory ... It is made for people of fundamentally differing views, and the accident of our finding certain opinions natural and familiar, or novel, and even shocking, ought not to conclude our judgment upon the question whether statutes embodying them conflict with the Constitution of the United States.

You think of the Republican Party as a party, like the British Conservative Party, well it isn't! I don't say that the British Conservative Party is much better, I'm only saying the Republican Party is a mindset. They love war! They love money! They're out to hang on through all the connections that they have, through their various operatives.

Governments can err, presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that Divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted on different scales. Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.
