To-Do List for a Trump Presidency

• AntiWar.com by Lucy Steigerwald

 That it an easy way of pointing out that presidential candidates say a lot, and they don't necessarily do it once they're elected. That's either preparation for disappointment or relief when it comes to President Trump, and probably a mixture of both.

We know Hillary Clinton as a political figure already. What we know is that apart from her stances on abortion and gun control, she has proven herself a relatively safe, centrist authoritarian. She doesn't appear to have opposed an intervention since the Vietnam war, but she happily brags about gaining former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's approval. And though she hastily refashioned herself as a fan of criminal justice reform for the 2016 race, many on the far left and the libertarian side never forgave or forgot her enthusiastic support of her husband's drug war, and his crime bill. It's good that Clinton lost. It's a shame that Trump won.
