Oh my God, Trump is back in middle school: ""I can’t be doing so badly, because I’m president, and you’re not." No, you got lucky.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
I think the Donald inherits it from his Trumpkins. They routinely tweet against me, "He's got billions; where are your billions?"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
Everyone I know who voted for Trump was voting against HRC, not because they bought into Trump's "vision" and largely undefined policies.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
Obama spent the first several years of his Presidency bashing Bush and whining about the mess he inherited. Now Trump is doing the same.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
Trump thinks he's doing OK because he's POTUS and his critics are not? Well, in Gallup he's polling 40% (-15) approval which < %Trump vote.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
One of the problems the "progressives" and socialists are encountering with the populist right here and in Europe is PR buys into welfare.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
Where the populist right differs from the left-fascists and socialists is over the constituency for the welfare state. They play zero-sum.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
Some 70% of the federal budget is for entitlements, and we have an aging workforce. Trump has no plan for reforming it.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
Trump may free Big Bird, get rid of funding for "Piss Christ" and shrimp on treadmills, but all that amounts to is pocket change.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
I don't know what the Trumpkins were thinking last year, choosing a celebrity with no public sector record: Elizabeth Warren in boardroom?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
The Trumpkins were nominating a man who was a Democrat and voted for Obama in 2008.So your response to 2 terms of Obama is to turn to Trump?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
It's sad to see an American iconic retailer like Sears flirting with bankruptcy & nervous suppliers. Daily I drive past almost empty parking— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
The rumor is that the Dems will try to filibuste SCOTUS nominee Gorsuch's confirmation vote. This is sheer madness. It won't work.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
First, a divisive Gorsuch vote instantly provides a wedge issue for the mid-terms, where the Senate Dems already are highly vulnerable.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
Second, this is a double-edged sword which will absolutely be exercised against the Dems if and when they ever return to the White House.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
Third, any attempt to deprive Gorsuch a floor vote will almost surely result in a rules change eliminating the SCOTUS filibuster option.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
The Dems would be better advised to conserve their political capital for a more principled fight down the road, say a Ginsburg replacement.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
I'm such a libertarian that when I saw David Friedman trending, I thought they were talking about Milton's accomplished son.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
In talking about Dems' squandering political capital, I can't help reflect on Trump's boneheaded moves. GOP will balk at 40% approval POTUS.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017
I don't know who the political retard was who came up with the soundbite, "repeal & replace" ObamaCare. Open markets! #FullRepeal— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2017

Federalism and State Marijuana Legalization
Again, I do not advocate transacting in marijuana (I never have), but I find prohibition policies expensive, futile, and counterproductive.
