Hi, all: Long time, no essay. And please forgive me in advance, because 1) this barely qualifies as an essay; b) it's a drive-by -- I want to publish it but am running out and won't be able to respond in real-time; and 3) someone may already have covered it.

To me, murder is murder. There should be no diplomatic immunity, executive privilege, or collateral damage when it comes to killing human beings. Some may say that war is different but that's a lie because all war is a lie. The wars conducted this century under presidents Bush, Obama and Trump are based on nothing but lies.
So, Manafort is a scumbag. Reports say that Stone recd him to Trump.
