Yes, I think that there will need to be careful consideration on how we treat the "Trump Phenomenon" in the upcoming years. I think there is room for satire, including visual satire, and the ability to stay within the rules of the forum. Although I joked with Rick, I find myself skirting the edges of propriety as well. Honestly, I'm not sure that his particular picture is necessarily out-of-bounds, either, because the focus is as much on Putin as Trump. Freedom of expression is important. I think the focus, though, has to be on OUR decorum, not Trump's, or we will be down the rabbithole in a jiffy. Trump would never make it on the Rant.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
