I am too lame at Go to say much, but aping the idiom as best I can, I think the *media* has followed him around the board and to the extent the board we are playing on is much larger than the 19x19 standard grid, he has gotten away with a Tenuki nearly every week/event. The analogy breaks down badly unless we can invoke some kind of *collective* Go playing with team Trump and team McConnel and team Limbaugh/Jones and team Bannon (see the news on him today?!) and probably team Putin and Team Assange and ??? with, as you say Team Pelosi, Team mainstream Media, and Team alternative Media (e.g. DN, Guardian, etc.) "following them around the board". I'm looking forward with morbid fascination/trepidation at how the configuration of the board is going to need/deserve "cleaning up" in a few more months... I'm sure there will still be rearGuard defenses skirmishing against those who DO try to clean it up, just as there must have been in all the failed Trump enterprises (Steaks, University, Casino, ... ) and now the myriad schemes he's started/aborted/abandoned these last 3.x years from the White House. I hope Biden/Harris, and more to the point, the army of functionaries (Cabinet staff, Department/Agency staff, etc.), look at what *those* cleanup crews had to deal with... like the retreating Axis armies in Europe WWII, it suspect there will be (metaphorical) undetonated munitions everywhere if not outright mines set to destroy evidence and slow down the Allies. I also hope Biden/Harris and their other power-allies look more to Mandela's or Havel's lead than to Stalin's or Putin's or Trump's in a post-opposition nation. Of course many here will (loudly or silently) decry my implied optimism on the upcoming overthrow of "he who shall not be named". - Steve > > > > -- > Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ > > - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. . > FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv > Zoom Fridays 9:30a-12p Mtn GMT-6 bit.ly/virtualfriam > un/subscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com > archives: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ > FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
