We now have a bromance going on as well as a pissing contest. Trump and Putin just adore each other, calling each other smart and clever and Trump just jumps in feet first to enhance the possibilities for Putin. He has the brilliant idea to turn back the clock, drop the computers and go back to writing and using couriers. Can't you just see all the messengers running back and forth and of course figuring out who they are would not be too hard so what? Do we then return to the days of Elizabeth I with her couriers from her spymaster and all the hijacking of these couriers, their slaughter, etc. Sounds just perfect for Trump as his logic and brain seem to be missing once more. And just how are we in today's world to go about disentangling ourselves and the rest of the world from computers unless someone uses an EMP - but that idea has already been used in several novels and guess what - one of the first things the survivors do is try to get computers working again so as to better design a recovery!! Oops!! Hey, I am no great fan of computers and often get lost in their pathways, but still, I know enough to know that they are here to stay barring any catastrophic event and they have their uses - like my blog!!.
As for the contest.... Trump and Obama are each deciding to figure out who is the better dude so off they go on Twitter and tweet at or about each other. Trump continues to think one can govern in140 characters albeit even if one tweets several 140 tweets at a time, and Obama seems to think he should now follow suit, giving credence to this method. The two of them should grow up already. And these two are our current leaders?! G-d help us all. Perhaps they need to go back to discussing finger size and what all!!
We have a proposed government to be that is a total non starter. None of the proposed characters have any connection to the common people, and that includes most of us - even you folks who made the grievous error of voting for Trump. Each proposed Secretary is actually an enemy of the Department he or she is supposed to head and the first aim of the Congress starting tomorrow is to dismantle Obamacare which now has the highest number of people ever enrolled. Their plan will raise the cost of medical care to the federal government and they have no plan as to how to replace it, but go ahead they will - and then what will the blue collar workers say? Who will have their backs? Not Trump, unless it is to place that proverbial knife in their proverbial backs!
We have a proposed president who is up to his neck, even his ridiculous hair, in contracts and projects with politicians all over the world and tell me exactly how does this not shout for impeachment as wrong, politically, morally, and legally. There are brains enough out there who oppose Trump who can think of the pathways to tread. I am sure of that. Nor do I particularly care for having non elected family members assuming roles in the administration. In fact, the only one neglected here from roles to play is poor Melania who never seems to smile or have an emotion on that face and who is trotted out at some formal events and then what, tucked away in Trump Towers till she is needed again?
In the middle of the night I wonder what will be with the unions and the rights of the workers. Who will speak for them? Who will insure that the safety strides we have made will be retained? And who will watch out for us and the environment? How many more times do we need to see disasters of nature before one of the benighted finally says, "Oh, yeah, guess we do have climate change. Duh!!" How much more of this government by dolts and selfish people are we supposed to tolerate? What will be with public education?Women are being told to back off and away, your body is no longer your own, your needs do not concern us and as for equal pay - go suck an egg. Education, social justice, equality under the law and in action - where will they be? We will no longer sing a song about where the flowers have gone but instead will sing about where our country has gone. We will sing of a once upon a time country where people strived for the right thing, the right choices, but was corrupted by evil ogres and trolls and they have left nothing behind. Companies and businesses will rule. Go watch Incorporated on cable and tell me you do not shudder. How closely entwined are the veins and arteries of government and big business? Take a look for yourselves. What can the little guys do? March. Speak up. Call a legislator. Support legal efforts to unseat politicians. Support impeachment tracks. Insist on what is right. Do not go gently into that benighted world. Fight against hate. Fight against violence. Fight against evil unions of enemies united against the people and our country and its essence.
We should all be very busy over the next four years and should we survive intact, or close to it, we will have a busy period of reconstruction that will rival that Reconstruction post Civil War era. We can be safe, we can survive, but it will not be easy. Told ya so will not be so easy to relish even as we all suffer. I hope to G-d that I will be wrong, but you can't prove that by anything that is going on now. Told ya so, told ya so, told ya so, told ya so, told ya so.........
