I believe Assange's real crime among the powerful was documenting the absolute corruption of Hilary Clinton and the DNC. She possesses far-reaching claws.

That Trump failed to free Assange (if only for his own self-interest) is merely one more testament to his weakness and dangerous inadequacy as a leader -- his cult-members be damned. Twenty twenty-four will once again offer us the Hobson's choice of uninterrupted empire clothed in shiny blue and red garments.

Censorship remains a vastly more present danger than Russia or China. A representative republic is incompatible with a blinkered citizenry.

NBC's winter Olympic coverage from Beijing should provide all the makings of an excellent drinking game every time the Uyghurs are mentioned and the Palestinians are not. Propaganda is nothing if not predicable.

America continues to suck unnecessarily.
