"Attention Tech Bros: Vladimir Putin is always ready to take down any oligarch - no matter how fawning - whom he happens to believe is getting a bit uppity, just as Xi Jinping has done, and so too did Adolf Hitler, Chairman Mao and Josef Stalin. Donald Trump is nowhere near as smart as those guys, but he's right up there with them in paranoia and narcissism, and he's much more fickle. Think about that as you snuggle up in your well-guarded compounds."
"As I read the headlines from Minnesota, I asked, "Is this who we are?" I hope not. But I can only know for sure that this is not who I am: not the above-the-law, ignore-the-law, flash-bang, masked ones - not the spin doctors who deny the reality of what my eyes have actually seen in videos. I am haunted by the question, "Is this who we are?" And I am afraid."
"It has been said that "actions speak louder than words." I am a firm believer in this axiom, as I also believe talk is cheap. This concept is exemplified by the deranged loudmouth residing in the White House. While he has no redeeming qualities, he has shown once again that he is a pitiful coward. He talks tough, and he hires chowderhead thugs to do his dirty work for him."
Vladimir Putin routinely eliminates oligarchs he suspects of becoming independent, as did Xi Jinping, Adolf Hitler, Chairman Mao and Josef Stalin. Donald Trump lacks their strategic brilliance but shares intense paranoia, narcissism and greater fickleness. Wealthy tech founders living in fortified compounds face real risk if perceived as disloyal. Recent violent headlines from Minnesota provoke fear and shame about above-the-law behavior, lawbreaking tactics and spin doctors denying visible evidence. The president avoided military service through multiple deferments and a claimed bone spur, demonstrating cowardice according to critics. Urgent calls insist that a vindictive, draft-dodging leader must be removed from power.
