In 2016 I had a very difficult time voting for Donald Trump. When push came to shove, I did vote for him, for two reasons: 1) There was at least a chance that he would appoint judges faithful to the Constitution, and 2) He was not Hillary Clinton. Four years later, I don’t regret my vote. Trump has appointed many good judges, and he is still not Hillary Clinton.

He’s also exposed the Left as the lying, cheating, America-hating extremists they are and advanced the cause of conservatism more than any president since (and, arguably, including) Reagan. I’m still not a fan of Trump the man but I’ve come to appreciate him as a badly needed corrective to the post-American America we are increasingly finding ourselves in. I will be voting for Trump in November without hesitation. He has earned it, by my reckoning.

Any natural system will have a lot of variability. It’s not natural for anything to stay the same. Weather is a good example of this. One might think that this would make one reluctant to rebuild our economy and our government based on the weather. But progressives do exactly that. And I think that’s the whole point.

The weather will tell you whatever you want to hear. It’s perfect. “In order to save the world, you all must do whatever I say! Just look at the weather! Don’t you see?!” Hard to argue that, without your argument sounding just as irrational as their original point.

In my dreams Counselor Cipollone rises to conclude the President’s defense as follows:

“Chief Justice Roberts, Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader Schumer, distinguished Senators, I want to thank you for your patience in listening to our defense of President Trump. As our team has outlined, there is no basis in law or fact for a vote to remove the President. Regardless of how passionate the president’s accusers may be, the Constitution gives this body the solemn duty to apply its provisions to the question of impeachment and removal. We have outlined the factual and legal deficiencies in the case presented by the House Managers.
