12/10/16 opinions about James Comey and the 2016 elections

Here is the link to a Twitter thread I did in December of 2016 about James Comey and the 2016 elections.

The thread discusses some thought I -- and many others far smarter than I -- had about Comey's actions during the elections and how they compared to the Hatch Act, which deals with interfering with elections.

I've since done a lot of reading about the Hatch Act and have found that it doesn't really enforce much of anything. So I no longer believe a lot of the things I mention in some of these threads.

Nevertheless, I do feel it's good for me to keep these threads out there -- alongside my more educated thoughts -- so people understand I'm a regular citizen, and an amateur, doing the best I can, in good faith, to educate myself about the way my country works. Sometimes I fail. Sometimes I succeed.

4/10/16 review of WorldDenver talk with Floyd Ciruli and Dina Smeltz



Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a 2016 WorldDenver talk with Floyd Ciruli and Dina Smeltz.

The talk was centered around the influence of foreign policy on the 2016 US presidential election. My thread discusses topics discusses by Ciruli and Smeltz such as the "year of the outsider," foreign policy versus conservative nationalism, and priorities as reflected in US polls.

Here is the link to WorldDenver. The organization is worth checking out.
