"FRIENDLESS, LONELY & AWKWARD"

     No, not talking about David Israel, though the adjectives apply to him  as well. Nope, this is from a piece written by a reporter from Australia who says it like  it is, who cuts to the chase and I hope all read it and heed its statements and conclusions because, we, the world in general, and us, the United States in particular, are in a heap of trouble. Such a heap, that the issues we have here in the Village will count for naught should our system collapse from within and the hatemongers and the hatred take over.
     "He was an uneasy, lonely, awkward figure at this gathering.....strong sense that some of the leaders are trying to find the best way to work around him."
     A damning statement indeed and on top of all the rest of the news that has been spewing forth. For months now we have been hearing of Russia and Trump, campaign and all. I still maintain that his election to office is not valid and every day more garbage comes out and we get closer and closer to that realization, like it or not.
      Now we have his own Jr. incriminating himself with a statement of a meeting with a Russian woman with connections to the Kremlin  promising to give over information damaging to Hillary Clinton. Really? To our enemies? With our enemy? Again, there is the attempt to whitewash Donald Sr. but again, either this guy knew what was going on and approved it all and that is so very possible, or he is the biggest fool and ignorant and oblivious person ever G-d has wrought upon this earth - and worthy of contemptible treatment, the same kind of treatment and attitude given towards him by his own people.
     We get reports about his 2 1/2 hour meeting with Putin and the stories vary. We have three versions- the Russians, Trump's and Tillerson's. Evidently there was some kind of bromance going on there but our country is sure not feeling the love!! Trump did not push Putin on the interference at all and simply accepted a no for an answer and moved on to trying to collude - and  yes, that is the proper term - with Russia on a Cyber Security unit!! That is not only inviting the fox into the henhouse, but in addition, serving up the hens on platters, along with all condiments!! Trump brags about this and when his fellow Republicans laugh at this, shower him with scorn, i.e. "It's not the dumbest idea I have ever heard but it's pretty close," Senator Lindsey Graham. And other similar comments and evaluations follow. Even this dead between his ears man hears this and now states, "The fact that President Putin and I discussed a Cyber Security unit doesn't mean I think it can happen. It can't," Trump said on Twitter.
     Europe has left us and Uhlmann states, "We learned that Donald Trump has pressed fast forward o the decline of the United States as a global  leader. He managed to isolate his nation, to confuse and alienate his allies and to diminish America."
     So this man whom I have long stated having little to no talent or interest or capability or knowledge to run this country, to interface with the world, is increasingly being called out more and more along the same lines by world figures. And yes, some people will bring up that when he sticks to the scripts of his speeches he can actually sound semi intelligent, but the problem is that this is not the Trump we have in reality. He then goes off script with his mouth and his tweets, 140 bits of garbage that is the real Trump. The real Trump has taken advantage of the anger that was and still is in the country, made promises that cannot be kept and nor should they - as in the healthcare bill, a misnomer if ever I heard one. He has no power nor respect to push thru anything such as his tax cuts for the rich, a reform of the tax code and thank the Lord on that for who knows what would be the end result of that and he plays dangerous games of chicken with other nutty heads of states as in North Korea and makes nicey nice to dictatorial figures of the world like Duterte and Erdogan and his best bro Putin. He loves the right wing of Hungary and Poland and this man who gives a speech talking of how we have to save the "western values" is the very one who has waged war upon those very same values.
     Uhlmann has a dim view of the future should this continue to remain the status quo. He states, in an unemotional steady voice and pace, that "Some will cheer the decline of America, but I think we'll miss it when it's gone, and that's the biggest threat to the values of the West, which he claims to hold so dear."
     This man is a well respected journalist and analyst and well we should heed his words. Do we want a world in turmoil? Do we want to watch the fall of the United States and the era of it in the world? Rome fell too and Greece and every other country and government that allowed its head of state to be a dictator. Dictators always run scared, afraid for their power, and eventually their house collapses too, but do we want to wait for that to happen and for the chaos that would ensue?
     Trump is a man who slipped through the cracks of America at a critical time and negative emotions allowed him to gain office. But an ability to be  a showman with nothing solid underneath, a malignant narcissism eating away at him  and demanding that all admire him, kneel before him and his Royal Family, and a man who thinks he can consistently claim ignorance of the misdeeds of his minions, thus making him either an idiot or an evil person, more so than ever, this is a man who needs to be ousted from office. There is more than enough proof of his incompatibility with the job and its responsibilities, let alone the criminal and ethics charges that might yet be forthcoming or already are here, clearly seen.
     These are strong words but more and more people are voicing them, not just thinking them. Impeachment and then possible criminal charges. But the Cabinet members have to be willing to stand up for the country, for what is right and to look aside from their 'power and their glory' and do the right thing for the country. He is a shambles of a man and had made a shambles of this country. Shame on us. Shame on us for allowing this to continue and for the hatred, the open hatred, to flourish within this country. This hate and anger will only grow if nothing is done to remove him from office. Is he evil or just uniquely unqualified? Your choice - any or both or others as well.
