Nancy Pelosi's Bad Day

Submitted by chambord on Sun, 11/26/2017 - 7:32pm

It was embarrassing watching Nancy Pelosi fumble her way through on MTP this morning.
She and Obama promptly made Anthony Wiener resign over a lewd picture he had posted over the internet.

It is alleged that John Conyers had harassed women for sexual favors and that they were paid off from tax payers funds. Nancy Pelosi was full of praise for Conyers and was quite content to let the House Ethics Committee deal with the matter.

It's like watching the film over and over again

I have even begun to forget where I came in. Depending on how old you are this might make sense to you. When I was a kid they ran movies over and over and you could come in at any point in the film. It was a long time until we evolved into the present mode.

So that means that people my age can identify with the news and political theater in a different way than those too young to have experienced this.

When is a trap not a trap?
Don M. posted an essay exhorting folks to get off their ass and Do something peaceful(paraphrased all to hell), and has issues with some(okay, My) responses, and another today requesting clarification.
Always happy to oblige(HAH!), I'm gonna give it a go in the interests of furthering dialogue.

A complex world view makes our present situation more comprehensible

This may seem like a contradiction, but once you accept that comprehension depends on being able to approach the real world with your own world view it is actually very clear. Complex systems defy classical logic especially in the realm of causality.
