David Brooks, columnist from the Times, wants to know how he can get Trump out of his head? The answer, truly, he cannot, for all the reasons for Trump's election are the reasons for his failure - and the anger he produces in others.
Trump went berserk on Monday - not unusual - and tweeted away at the NY Times "as a failing entity, with an unfunded liability and non existent sources" - whatever that means. The Times calmly showed Trump the errors of his ways here what with the largest subscription rate ever, growing profit, income and revenues.
Why does Trump disallow 'unnamed sources" about himself but encourages it when he wants to make use of that technique? Could it be he is a hypocrite? Gasp!!!
A little light relief? Why is Disney planning a new Broadway show called Frozen - and no Olaf either! Well, because it is beloved, people will pay mucho to take their kids and sing along at the top of their lungs and yet the message is clear - women can do anything, be anything and challenge any restrictions. A message greatly needed to reinforce in our times.
Why does David Israel continue to make use of lies and threats and name calling? Uh.....I dunno. Maybe he is incapable of doing otherwise?
What does he represent along with Trump?
The loss of ethics, the breakup of values, the bleeding essence of democracy.
Why does the man tweet so much? I dunno, again, except that he appears to be incapable of speaking with any kind of skill and linguistic ability. But 57 percent of Republicans say his tweets do not get the right message out, are risky. Duh!!! In my book, tweets and tweeting are a refuge of the adolescents who have forgotten the art of conversation or never learned it in the first place, of adults who cannot speak and of other adults who want to seem cool. Other than actors as they are different. Just my opinion.
Why is Trump sending little love notes to Mueller? "he has passed along the president's messages expressing “appreciation and greetings’’ to the special counsel." What does he hope to gain from this? Does he think it will settle suspicion down upon Mueller and let Trump off? I do not think that will happen.
Why do we pay Trump millions as we guard him in his various trips to his hotels, privately owned buildings, totally against the whole emoluments clause? And why do we pay huge amounts to cover his sons as they bounce around the world doing Trump business? This is wrong!!
Why does Trump continue to ignore the climate change warnings and why has the latest report not been released? Well, guess inside his air conditioned hotel rooms and Trump Tower and even inside the "dump" of the WH he is protected from the crazy heat and all he sees is the mounting bank account of his and his buddies.
Why does he do all in secret? What? Such as his committees for deregulation, his waivers for people to serve in the administration. Why? Because they all violate ethics, all come from the very world they are to deregulate and all stand to garner much profits from new rules and de - regulation. Never mind the air. Never mind the waterways. Never mind the melting poles. Never mind the people. Mind only their profits.
“fire and fury like the world has never seen”
Such is the language that Trump used in dealing with North Korea. Now the Korean dude is threatening to hit Guam with nukes.Why do we have two insane people shouting at each other and the world teeters on the edge of that sharp cliff while the clock hands move to two minutes before midnight!? Is it because he “lacks the temperament and judgment to deal with the serious crisis the United States confronts.” I have been saying that for a long, long time. And the same evangelists of the extreme variety say, “When it comes to how we should deal with evil doers, the Bible, in the book of Romans, is very clear: God has endowed rulers full power to use whatever means necessary — including war — to stop evil,” Jeffress said. “In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un.” Please, may the Lord Above spare us from religious manics who use G-d to excuse and fuel every and any wrathful desire of theirs. It is rather more as Gore states that the Trump presidency might end early due to lack of ethics or for ethical reasons. Amen to that!!
How are we to proceed once we get rid of this invalid president? Again, I dunno. Is Pence any better? He comes along as calmer, but he is a deep evangelical with deep anti choice beliefs, and goes along with all the nasty fascistic immigration or rather anti immigration principles of Trump and these neo conservatives of the alt right. I also do not appreciate one in the possible Oval Office who wants to bring "all to Christ". No thank you - got my own religion and beliefs.
Why do I keep banging away at the two of them, the two D's? Because I hate lies, I hate liars, I hate lack of ethics, I hate nastiness, I hate oppression, I hate unfairness, I hate all that appears to be succeeding within our country now and I worry for us and for the future.
Mike Pompeo, the head of the CIA is political in his statements though he is not supposed to be. He is a Tea Party nutjob who calls the First Amendment 'fuzzy" - so what are we to think and fear for the future.
I cannot change the future with my own small voice, but perhaps can influence a few, cause others to think, get rid of the trash in offices and get some new people on track. Any little bit I can do - that is why I keep on banging away - and will continue to do so, G-d willing, to the end of my days in Act III. Join with me. Think, act, push for the right thing to do and hate tyrants or would be tyrants. At least it keeps the blood flowing!
"Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another."
Ernest Hemingway.
Think on that for a bit.
