I just put this list together; seems to fit here as well:

Trump on the issues:

“The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions.....I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.”

Source: The America We Deserve, by Donald Trump, p.102.

“I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on health. It is an unacceptable but accurate fact that the number of uninsured Americans has risen to 42 million. Working out detailed plans will take time. But the goal should be clear: Our people are our greatest asset. We must take care of our own. We must have universal healthcare. “

“I’m “fine” with affirmative action.”

“I can’t take Israel’s side.”

“Donald Trump Thinks Kelo-Style Eminent Domain is ‘a wonderful thing”

“Donald Trump pledges to curb press freedom through libel laws”

And the hated-by-Trumpsters Mark Levin broke down the 42 million uninsured meme years ago using census data— it was about 3 million uninsured citizens who weren’t in between jobs, illegal immigrants, etc. That number is a sham and it’s accepted— of course by the really really greatest most winningest fact-vacuous Trump.

Thanks! Agree!

Past as prelude. So neat, so clean. So full of certitude. Like a fortune cookie Confucianism. Something you might hear on CSI: Special Victims Unit. A maxim cited by pop psychologist "Dr. Phil (link is external)" McGraw, in one of his many self-help books (link is external).

I'm sure you have heard the mantra. It's creeping into risk assessment reports and court testimony by forensic psychologists. Sometimes, it's augmented with incendiary metaphors: The subject is "a ticking time bomb"; he is "carrying a hand grenade and it's just a matter of when he pulls the pin."

One current case of mine involves a guy with a cluster of several violent offenses a few years ago, when he was in his 20s. He was using drugs back then, and hanging around with a bad crowd. Plus, he is chronically psychotic. Not a good combination.

But if you predict future violence based on a set of risk factors like his, you will be wrong more often than not. Only about four out of ten of those individuals judged to be at moderate to high risk of future violence go on to reoffend violently, according to research (link is external). The low base rates of violent recidivism will be working against you.
