I can't say I admire Trump, as he's got ludicrous and cruel policies, and I think he's going to worsen and accelerate a recession. I also find him personally offensive and dumb.

But, watching him amass a counter to the most powerful investigative agency in the country and take over the GOP is engrossing. It's hard to not guess at strategy and take the inside baseball approach to the events as they unfold.

Given what Mark Warner said at Martha's Vineyard last week, I think we're going to see an insane showdown.

My hope is we have something truly shocking that causes a further discrediting of the system, followed by a reappraisal of how we do politics at all levels in this country. It may turn out that Trump's own criminality is the thing that actually "drains the swamp."

Or, it might turn out to be a giant nothing. So my feelings right now are: 1. Boredom at the Trump v. Left back and forth; 2. Suspense at what Mueller has up his sleeve, and how Machiavellian Trump will go.

You should go to Jerusalem and visit Yad Vashem. Looking at the exhibits on Europe in the 30s, you'd recognize yourself.
