Okay, full disclosure. After the initial first stunned reaction, a bubble of laughter had to escape. You can't make this up. A screenwriter for a TV program would have his script handed back as a do over and unbelievable and yet, here we are.
This man is now tampering with the very backbone of our country and government. There is a definite distinction and border between the branches and the institutions of our government. That is a safety feature and yet this man, this detestable man, who thinks he is the be all and end all, dares to tamper with it and expects adulation. When it does not come, he screams at the screen and resorts to more lies, more obfuscation, more and changing stories and as for the country, we are left in despair.
What do we have? Let us count the ways and means of disaster via Trump. We have a man who thinks he is still a reality star where an audience will hoot and holler as they see him skewer another poor soul. We have a man who thinks that it is okay for him to interfere with an ongoing investigation, one that could lead to findings of collusion with the enemy, with full blown treason and it is reaching right into his own living room. We have a man who allows, against all security protocol, a Russian photographer into the Oval Office even as he stands there and shakes hands with the Russian ambassador and lo and behold! there is Kislyak, the very same one with whom Flynn and Sessions met before. So hmmm, what do we have here? Was there collusion so blatant and so dismissive of our country that the president openly showed his treasonous behavior? is the entire administration guilty of collusion? Why was Sessions involved in this whole Comey business when he had recused himself! So much for honesty and dependability. Just screw the American people, why not?!
We have a man who rolls through people like a hot knife thru butter. Suddenly we have a deputy to Spicer who is becoming visible more and more but she is no better than Spicer. The same dumb and dangerous statements when one thinks about them after controlling the laughter. Comey, no favorite of mine, committed "atrocities"? Really? Does this woman need a history lesson to understand atrocities in their reality? Perhaps she needs to understand that the election of Trump to this office is an atrocity of history, an affront to the world.
Who, really, is this Rosenstein and his true assignment for as soon as he came on board Comey became the devil incarnate. I believe he screwed up the election with his announcement and wondered why he did not announce the probe into the Russian affair, but to fire him as he undertook an investigation which totally touches upon the Oval office? Whoa!!! This is critical. And the boneless and backless and balless Republicans who fall in line behind Trump and his lying and perhaps treasonous administration and the puppet McConnell are doing this country no good at all and are in fact doing it great harm.
We have a man who never grew up and believe me, this is no Mary Martin Peter Pan. This is a stalled adolescent who thinks if one lie does not work, well just try another until one gets a good fit. Well, there is no good fit here, just bad lies and dangerous actions. It is time this man realizes that he is not in his own business world any longer and he must report to the people who are watching very carefully and closely. He is responsible to them like it or not and wild hair behavior does not work here. He thinks his past lies are automatically disappearing and do not matter, but he is now dealing with the media and with people who have longer memories than his business subordinates. And for that he screams and for that he returns to the election, even as Anderson Cooper rolls his eyes at Trump's spokesperson! You have to see that moment. It is priceless - but sad, too. Trump has utter contempt for us, the people of the United States of America and contempt for the country, its history, its government, its tradition and its rules and regulations.
“Just turn the lights off,” Spicer ordered. “Turn the lights off. We’ll take care of this.”
I think that these people have already turned off the lights and are remaining cloaked within it, hiding in the bushes and saving their anger for those who leak their misdeeds rather than their misdeeds themselves.
The touted pair of Ivanka and Jared are noticeably quiet here and why is that? Where is their supposed 'moderating' influence, or are they too busy selling themselves, their businesses and their souls for the almighty buck and selling the rest of us down the river? In fact, I believe that is what the entire Trump administration is doing - Business as usual as the rest of us are stunned into speechlessness and despair. And then, we have to laugh as he pulls another boner!!
It is time for the special investigation and prosecutor. In fact, we need to be prepared for what it finds and be prepared to have major scandal and major changes. Such is the week that was and that is, but this is real and not TV.
