• ... how have I used rivers, how have I used wars
  to escape writing of the worst thing of all--
  not the crimes of other, not even our own death,
  but the failure to want our freedom passionately enough
  so that blighted elms, sick rivers, massacres would seem
  mere emblems of that desecration of ourselves?

  Adrienne Rich

• I was a businessman. I was a real estate man and a businessman. That was the first time I think that question was ever even asked of me. That was long before the war took place. Joe Scarborough just released something yesterday more on point, much nearer. He put out a tweet saying that you know, "Trump is right, look what he just said." So you have to take a look at that. But regardless. The war in Iraq was a disaster. It was probably the worst thing. If you look at the Middle East now, all started because of that horrible decision to go into Iraq.

I watched that fraudulent document, and I said it's the worst thing I've ever seen in politics.
