Did I . . .

. . . mention our WONDERFUL press?. . .

. . . This was one of the top stories on NBCNews.com yesterday. Is it any wonder that some think this man is a viable presidential candidates? . .

(from http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/key-source-disputes-times-story-trump-s-behavior-women-n574741)
". . . Key Source Disputes Times Story on Trump's Behavior With Women
by JANE C. TIMM
The woman whose personal story led a New York Times feature casting presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump as sexist and inappropriate with women disputed the story in an interview on Monday. . . The woman, Rowanne Brewer Lane, told Fox News that the Times' portrayal of her experiences with Trump was "very upsetting" and dishonest. . . "I did not have a negative experience with Donald Trump and I don't appreciate them making it look like I was saying that it was a negative experience because it was not," the former model and one-time companion of Trump said Monday morning. . .

Careful . . .

. . . with the vitriol and venom . . .

(from http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/zeifman.asp)
". . . (Jerry) Zeifman (Judiciary Committee Chief Counsel in the impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon) said he maintained a transcribed diary during the impeachment proceedings, which he drew up upon two decades later in authoring the 1998 book Without Honor: The Impeachment of President Nixon and the Crimes of Camelot. That book makes it clear that Zeifman did not like (personally and professionally) a good many of the people he worked with during the Watergate investigation; in particular, he continually butted heads over issues of procedures and legal approaches with his boss, Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter Rodino, and Hillary's (Clinton, then Rodham) supervisor, Impeachment Inquiry Special Counsel John Doar. Zeifman accused both Rodino and Doar (as well as Hillary Rodham and others), without evidence, of supposedly dragging their feet on impeachment and "tanking" the investigation of President Nixon's wrongdoings, for reasons ranging from bribes offered by the Nixon White House to help with re-election bids, to a desire to enhance the Democrats' chances of winning the 1976 presidential election by keeping a discredited Nixon in office until the end of his term, to a plot to keep Richard Nixon from defending himself by bringing up past instances of presidential abuses of power (which would include dirt on the Kennedys). . ."

The Fourth. . .

. . . Estate

(from wikipedia.com)
". . . The Fourth Estate (or fourth power) is a societal or political force or institution whose influence is not consistently or officially recognized. "Fourth Estate" most commonly refers to the news media, especially print journalism or "the press". Thomas Carlyle attributed the origin of the term to Edmund Burke, who used it in a parliamentary debate in 1787 on the opening up of press reporting of the House of Commons of Great Britain. Earlier writers have applied the term to lawyers, to the British queens consort (acting as a free agent, independent of the king), and to the proletariat. The term makes implicit reference to the earlier division of the three Estates of the Realm. . ."

NBC News should have been ashamed to print this story. The president is pointing out what the press should have made clear to the general public over one year ago!

(from http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/barack-obama/president-obama-donald-trump-s-record-needs-be-examined-n569441)
". . . President Barack Obama . . . said presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has a "long record that needs to be examined" and insisted that the race for the White House is "not a reality show. . . I just want to emphasize the degree to which we are in serious times and this is a really serious job. This is not entertainment, this is not a reality show. This is a contest for the presidency of the United States," Obama told reporters in his first public comments about since Trump's GOP rivals ended their presidential campaigns. . . Obama also said the media needs to play a role in vetting the candidates' policies and not focus on the "circus.". . . "If they take a position on international issues that could threaten war, or has the potential of upending our critical relationships with other countries, or would potentially break the financial system, that needs to be reported on," Obama said in the White House briefing room. . ."

Sometimes. . .

. . . you just Gotta! . . .

(from https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/tolerate)
tolerate
The verb tolerate means "to put up with or allow." You can tolerate your sister's love of Broadway musicals but really, you prefer dramas. Think of tolerate as the open-minded verb. It means you allow something to happen or exist, even if you don't really like it. For example, you don't like your neighbor's loud music but you tolerate because he only blasts it on Saturday afternoons. Scientifically speaking, when your body can tolerate a drug, poison or even pollution, it means you aren't harmed by it.

Definitions of
tolerate
1 v put up with something or somebody unpleasant
“he learned to tolerate the heat”

Synonyms: abide, bear, brook, digest, endure, put up, stand, stick out, stomach, suffer, support

Learning . . .

. . . from the past . .

(from Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann, translation by John E. Woods)
". . . One can call what came to light here the dark possibilities within human nature in general-but is was in fact tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Germans who committed the acts before which humanity shudders, and whatever lived as German stands now as an abomination and the epitome of evil. What will it be like to belong to a nation whose history bore this gruesome fiasco within it, a nation that has driven itself mad, gone psychologically bankrupt, that admittedly depairs of governing itself . . . that will have to live in isolated confinement, like the Jews of the ghetto, because the dreadfully swollen hatred all around it will not permit it to step outside its borders-a nation that cannot show its face? . . ."
