Everyone knows the term and substance of "diminishing returns". It is then that the actions that led to that point must be evaluated, changed, revised or permanently deleted. It is simple and obvious, making sense, but what is happening today, this year, last year and for the following two years denies that reality.
Here is an interesting statement I came across yesterday. "...(he) comes across as a petty, manipulative, breathtakingly narcissistic pathological liar, and paranoid to the point of being mentally unbalanced." This same person is also said to have had fervid but unfounded ideas about conspiracies and enemies. Who? Sounds like someone we all know and do not love, right? But it is Prinny, the Regent for his gone mad father, George III. His advisers were the ones who kept some sort of balance. Sound familiar?There are mad rulers and always have been but there are ways and means to deal with them, although it appears to be an almost currently impossible task for us here in the USA.
Behaviorally, in a physical sense, our madman ruler exhibits all signs of a person gone mad, descending into the deeper levels of dementia. His weird faces, his constant use of threats, verbal, on Twitter, and with ridiculous and ugly posturing with arms gathered tightly to his chest as he clamps his mouth tightly shut or opens it in an ugly moue. He glues himself to the TV for guidance in his policies, often phrasing them moments after hearing them on one of his favorite shows, using the same language and wording.
He changes his mind even more often and quicker than a three year old overcome by the choices in a candy shop. But this man is not three, is he? This man is supposed to be a leader, a champion of the free world, and yet Putin, dictator of our foe, praises him for his foreign policies and Russian columnists are praising Trump's policies as they are so good for them!! Seriously?!!!
A man regarded as one without an ethical framework or guidelines. A man seen as inducing and living and creating chaos, much to the detriment of us and the world in general. Secret court hearings as a foreign company refuses to answer a subpoena. The stink of corruption, of yes, even high crimes, his deference towards and affinity for dictators, his insistence that he has almost complete powers to do whatever the hell he wants and never mind the laws of our government, the balance of powers set up by the Constitution and over two hundred years of nationhood, a megalomaniac hallucination, an infantile focus on grandstanding ideas, fireworks over Mt. Rushmore, or cavalcades rushing down closed streets, or a ridiculous and expensive military parade - what the hell!!!!!!!
And as for those who say he is good for the economy, well, take a look at your balances and at the predictions, and our entry into a bear market. Where will we be in two years? Selling apples on the street? Hoboes on the trains? More American families going hungry, children starving, all because we have a demented and dangerous person in the Oval Office, a sociopath with no feelings or understanding of others and only an oversized ego to work with?
And as for those of you misguided people who think he is "good" for Israel - well, no he ain't!! Never has been and never will be and it is the demands of the second or the minute as he views the world from distorted lenses and a distorted mind that determine his statements and policies that affect Israel. Suddenly pulling out our troops from Syria, leaving the northern border of Israel in grave danger, and the terrorist Hezbollah right in line to get continuous resupplies of arms and ammunition from their patrons - Iran and Russia - well if you think that is good for Israel then dearies, you are not good for Israel! You join him in throwing Israel under the bus!
C'mon! Time to give it up. You supported the wrong horse. That wrong horse is in office and destroying us. He is a liar. A cheat. And as for the adage that a person is know by the company he keeps, well.....he is "surrounded by people who have lied to authorities, cheated on their taxes, skirted campaign finance laws, and secretly worked for foreign interests." People have been found guilty, imprisoned and/or fined, proven to be incompetent, greedy and plain old thieves. And his foreign policies are a disaster.
So give it up. We will take you back into sane society as soon as you come to your senses. We won't even say "told ya' so" for the results have been too horrific, too tragic to take any joy in the return to sanity. We all have too much work to do if we are to restore order, proper order, in the world, in our country and on our planet.
Okay - one I told ya' so - can't help it!. Sorry.
