I'm beginning to wonder how many books I'd have left if I discarded all those written by people who habitually abused others.

How about no polls for 2028 democrat candidate for president before 2028? I'm serious. Three more years of 47 and three more years of potential replacements getting trashed by his opponents? He must be so f-ing happy to see this happening. Enough already!!

I disagree. If you can't trash someone or something and say why in 300 characters or less you never really learned to write.

Many of these comments seem emerge out of grief compounded by judgment and a sense of betrayal.

It's been my experience that any label used to describe a behavioral or physiological difference will eventually become a pejorative and be replaced by a different label which will eventually - but you know the rest.

It's come to the point where "the other guy" they're blaming is the one they see in the mirror.

If you're serious about condition buy like a collector. from a seller who offers a detailed description of the book. I was looking for a rare children's PB (Max the Market Mouse); got an 'acceptable' quote. Seller wouldn't send a cover photo. My copy doesn't have a cover & I want one that does.

The problem isn't what anybody would say, it's about whether anyone around the man is going to do anything about it. And the answer seems to be no.

Would have been? Who can tell? Old men who cling to power despite their diminishing capacity are dangerous no matter what their politics.
