  Ha! Makes sense. I abhor partisan politics but there are things associated with (e.g., Trump) that call for scrutiny. Trump is a fascinating character and has broken so many norms that it's been mind bending. It saddens me that HN has many of his rabid acolytes that make any such discussion a shit show.

    The GP comment is not telling the whole story. Yes the first thing _congress_ did was pass additional sanctions on Russia but Trump delayed [1] them from going into affect for over a year allowing more than enough time for Russia to mitigate the impact significantly.

      There's so much more to explore, but not here. It blows my mind that there are so many rabid supporters here on HN. There's no point in dialog there because there's no interest in that. That said, we should be exploring how to hack society to "improve efficiency at scale", and that requires discussing policy and that is what politics is ostensibly all about. C'est la guerre.
