Bush and Barack Obama, Vice Presidents Al Gore and Dick Cheney, Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Henry Kissinger, the leaders of both houses of Congress, and too many generals and admirals to list.<\/p>\n<p>Striding into the pulpit, Obama delivered a searing indictment of the man undoing his legacy:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo much of our politics, our public life, our public discourse can seem small and mean and petty, trafficking in bombast and insult and phony controversies and manufactured outrage. \u2026 It\u2019s a politics that pretends to be brave and tough but in fact is born of fear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speakers praised McCain\u2019s willingness to cross party lines, but Democrats took away a new determination: From here on out, confrontation!<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday morning, as Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Judge Brett Kavanaugh\u2019s nomination to the Supreme Court began, Democrats disrupted the proceedings and demanded immediate adjournment, as scores of protesters shouted and screamed to halt the hearings.<\/p>\n<p>Taking credit for orchestrating the disruption, Sen. Dick Durbin boasted, \u201cWhat we\u2019ve heard is the noise of democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But if mob action to shut down a Senate hearing is the noise of democracy, this may explain why many countries are taking a new look at the authoritarian rulers who can at least deliver a semblance of order.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday came leaks in The Washington Post from Bob Woodward\u2019s new book, attributing to Chief of Staff John Kelly and Gen. James Mattis crude remarks on the president\u2019s intelligence, character and maturity, and describing the Trump White House as a \u201ccrazytown\u201d led by a fifth- or sixth-grader.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regime Change \u2014 American Style The campaign to overturn the 2016 election and bring down President Trump shifted into high gear this week.
