The problem with assessing political candidates is you never really know what they're like until they get ahold of power. And by then, of course, it's too late.
The decent ones wield power with restraint and humility. They understand the limits have their own wisdom -- human wisdom -- and they also understand the inevitability of unintended consequences, which are the rule. They know they won't be in charge forever, and so they tread lightly.
But the bad ones, they go crazy. And the more power they get, the crazier they go. Power is the drug they've been searching for. It's why they went into politics in the first place -- not to help you or their fellow citizens or to improve our society, but to fill the empty space inside themselves. These are profoundly damaged people. Not a single one of them has a functional relationship with their fathers, not one.
Unfortunately, people like that run a lot of this country right now. They've never had more power at any time in our history.
As this coronavirus pandemic recedes, it's becoming clear that cities and states that have cautiously reopened did the right thing. They are reaping the benefits of that. Nowhere has the virus surged back. Hospitals haven't been overwhelmed, death rates have not spiked.
The time for mass quarantines is passed. And yet in some places -- and this is the measure of bad leadership --lockdowns are becoming more restrictive, not less, and much, much weirder.
In Illinois for example, J.B. Pritzker, an aging ne'er-do-well who bought the governor's title a year and a half ago for $172 million in inherited money, has issued yet another emergency order. This time, Pritzker vows to imprison business owners if they try to reopen.

The only show I watch on Fox News..
On Long Island, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran has banned doubles tennis.
Laura Curran, Nassau County executive: I will fill you in on what those rules are. Singles only, no doubles. Only every other court. You have to have a court between players, between people — sets of people playing. Every player, unless they’re from the same household, has to bring their own tennis balls so that you don’t touch other people’s tennis balls.
Singles only, no doubles. She wants you to know that in Nassau County, it is illegal to touch other people’s tennis balls.
This is what happens when neurotic dumb people get power. They do neurotic dumb things and then throw you in jail if you complain about it.
One of the best monologues of all time.
I would like to see Tucker Carlson focus on the county judges of Harris and Dallas county Texas.
I watched the tennis ball thing last night and said what a great SNL skit this would make. Jaw droppingly stupid woman.
Yep, 1776 here we come. These tyrannical gov/mayoral dictators do not know what they’ve unleashed.
Americans are unlocking themselves.
Eliminate bad politicians.
Tucker is a breath of fresh air and common sense. These Democrat Governors have revealed themselves as power hungry leftist dictators - amazing how stupid they look. Glad to witness the unconstitutional power grab, it should wake up the sheeple.
Had a chat last evening with a couple in the real estate business. They are BIG TIME Democrats, but at this point are completely FED UP and disgusted with Governor Wolf.
He kept them shut down for weeks as a “nonessential business”, and now that they’re allowed to resume he’s wrapped the process in so much red tape and paperwork that they say it’s not worth their time.
Two more Liberals just got mugged.
Because “rascism”(Jesse Jackson version) or something.
Curran says you can kick someone else’s balls, but don’t touch them!
Makes me wonder if she’s straight...
There aren’t enough Americans left in America.
The Fox ticker as he was discussing Nassau County read
Nassau County: It’s illegal to touch other people’s’ balls”
I’m serious
Tucker is a BOSS. I’m very surprised that FOX hasn’t canned him.
Saw it, LOL!
We watch Tucker most nights. The Best!
“I’m very surprised that FOX hasn’t canned him.”
They did give him a time out a few months ago.
One of the most absurd Pritzker rulings was that there could be no more than two people in a boat at a time. When asked about a family of four who live together, he said they could only go two at a time in their boat.
