It is a galley.

Yes.
The election is a shipwreck.

With Trump in Power, the Fed Gets Ready for a Reckoning

By BINYAMIN APPELBAUM | Nov 12th 2016

President-elect Donald J. Trump could try to overhaul the Federal Reserve. Or he could emulate Ronald Reagan and leave the central bank alone.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2016; INTEREST RATES 

The Fed will do its jobs as long as it is able.

1913 is more than a century in the past.

The disaster will be more profound if the Fed is destroyed.
That is not a recommended path.

A Confession of Liberal Intolerance

By NICHOLAS KRISTOF | May 8th 2016

We’re big on diversity, but not when it comes to conservatives in academia. That’s wrong.

COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES; LIBERALISM (US POLITICS); DISCRIMINATION; EVANGELICAL MOVEMENT 

One has a right to one's opinion.

The facts should be held in common.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/opinion/sunday/lies-in-the-guise-of-news-in-the-trump-era.html

"The landscape ahead looks grim to me. While the business model for mainstream journalism is in crisis, these alt-right websites expand as they monetize false “news” that promotes racism and undermines democracy. Worse, they have the imprimatur of the soon-to-be most powerful person in the world."

The Democrats Screwed Up

By FRANK BRUNI | Nov 11th 2016

The party bears plenty of blame for its sorry lot — and for the country’s.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2016 

Yes.

It is time for some careful and strategic thinking.

The disastrous Republican policies will do most of the "heavy lifting".  

Candidates must be found and groomed now for the places that will available

in 2018.

Salvaging a sunken wreck is more difficult than a floating derelict.
