I have a confession to make

I do too. That ****ing car wreck. He was going to change the world, well, even more. I love everything Camus, especially his life story. I mean, a Pied-Noir? Are you kidding me? It really doesn't get any cooler. I do love L'Étranger especially. I had to read it in its original French at university. It was an experience.

Yes, he was one of the ultimately cool dudes. I loved L'Étranger, but my real favourite is La Chute. It's odd. The philosopher I was talking to (he did his doctorate on Husserl and Sartre) liked The Plague best. So 3 different people, 3 different choices (I never really "got" The Plague, though I read it twice). I like The Fall because it's about failure: it almost glorifies failure. I haven't read Camus in almost 15 years. When I was growing up if you didn't read Camus, Kafka, and Joyce, you wouldn't be taken seriously at all (you wouldn't get the good beer at parties).

Well he wiped away a whole bunch of the policies implemented by Obama's reign of terror, and by getting rid of those it's has given us one of the most booming econimies of all time, ISIS is pretty much dead, we currently have more open jobs than people looking for work, he's(so far, we'll see) solved the Korean crisis. But I assume you watch the mainstream media so I'm guessing this is the first you're hearing of any of this. I give him a B+ so far, if he didn't implement Bernie Sanders style trade tarriffs or consistently say dumb **** I'd give him an A+.

Maybe it is. Open up the markets and get government out of the way, and as far as ISIS, he gave his expert, Mattis, full discretion. While Trump is a huge egomaniac, he doesn't seem too concerned with political blowback or optics, so he just jumps in with both feet.
