@alpacaherder It is the age of extremists, left and right, and of violent and near-violent opposition to leaders of the other extreme. It is the age where everything is unprecedented, even if it is merely the flipping of a previous policy enacted less than a decade ago.

@lnxw48a1 Did you get your issue of jackboots yet? I haven't gotten mine. #semisarcastic #cybercynicism

There are certainly things I disagree with emanating from the shining manor, as there have been with every other occupant since I first became aware of them. There is certainly precedent and reason for much of the most-despised portions of recent proclamations, whether I agree with them or not.

When the previous #fancy ruler occupied the manor, I cautioned those giddy about his unilateral moves that it was too much power in an individual's hands. Now that the despised and #wretched ruler is the occupant, they suddenly agree with me.

Principles, people. If you don't want an occupant you dislike exercising those powers, don't agree to an occupant you like using them either.
