[FRIAM] sanctions schmanctions

Yep. It's now easy to empathize with the people in places like Donetsk. Is your leader a puppet or not? Before Trump, I found it difficult to empathize. Of course our leaders aren't puppets. Sure, we have corporatism, money as speech, etc. But *puppet*? Nah, more like a well-trained dog or somesuch.

After Trump, it's easy for me to think of our representatives as puppets and swap in and out of empathy with the average citizen in places like Donetsk.

I guess I feel the same way about After Kavanaugh (AK). Before Brett, I chalked most talk of originalism vs textualism as nearly metaphysical ... all the Justices seemed well-intentioned, however wrong they might (not) be. After Brett, they all look like puppets to me.
