Some random thoughts and questions about current events

Some random thoughts, right, wrong or in between, especially in view of some of the recent news reports:

- Why are some people screaming about the evils of Socialism and how some candidates are promoting it and those and yet they don't care that foreign powers are being asked and involved to help destroy our democracy?

- How can the NRA, a not-for-profit entity, give money to the president to help pay his legal fees?  Briefly and how I understand it from working for one for many years, one of the criteria of being a not-for-profit is that no single person can benefit from any money raised by or for the entity.

- How can the president make a trade-off with the NRA, promising no background checks I exchange for their money?

- Why does the president need money for his legal fees?  Isn't he the one who promised to pay legal fees for anyone arrested for attacking protesters at his campaign rallies?

- If the NRA gives money donated to them to the president (or anyone else for that matter), where does this put the people who donated it?  Are they then also liable for any charges against NRA?

- Why are so many people still hung up on 'but her emails'?'  What about 'But His Phone Calls!"

- No, many of the past presidents were not perfect.  No, none of the future ones will be.  They are, after all, human beings.  So stop nit-picking about what Obama or Bush (either one) or Clinton or whoever did and focus on what is going on right now, and what it means to the country, the world and the future.
