It is a well known observaton that adults behave at times more childishly than children. They sink to the lowest common denomination when setting their behavior controls - or no controls at all. It is most disgraceful when it happens and that, unfortunately, is what we have at the moment at the highest - or should I say, the lowest - levels of our present government.
Trump has been disgraceful since before his campaign even started and has gone downhill from there. In fact, he manages to find ever lower levels of behavior. Right now I am fighting the nausea that arose over the past two days of critical garbage.
Trump threw a major toddler tantrum at a meeting with Democratic leadeship and blew his and our opportunity to work on desperately needed reconstruction on the infrastructure of the country. It would provide for better safety for Americans, a huge infusion of money into the economy, and help provide direct employment or lateral employment at a time when more and more people are being laid off due to the adverse effects of this whole tariff war ginned up by the Demented One. But nope, no go, for Trump has to have his little hissy fit and then storm out because he did not care for Pelosi and a remark she made. Tough bugs, there Donald, tough bugs.
Politics is a filthy game of deeds and words. One hopes that a politician could rise above it at times, and usually there are some who do, but today, today one has to look far and wide, seeking, seeking, instituting a search equivalent to the almost hopeless search of Diogenes for an honest man. What do we do when the schoolyard bully pulpit has become the go to device and standard of behavior of Trump and his supporters?
I think the best and the worst were the following: the doctored videos of Pelosi and Trump's statement evaluating his own stability and mental capacity and Pelosi's reaction. Spliced together, an edited video played at 75% speed and voice doctored to get as close to Pelosi's voice as possible, purports to show her as drunk, slurring, stammering, disgraceful in its attempt to demean this woman. And worst of all, the Demented One sends out yet another of his nauseating tweets with the Pelosi video as a lead! Oh, ich!!!!
This same idiot, this same disgusting individual, then makes sure that we all know how wonderful he is, a legend in his own mind, as he states that he is an "extremely stable genius". Oh, ich again. Double ich!! Please remeber what is said about self praise, how worthless it is.
And yet another step along the road to dictatorship, Trump is now contemplating yet another emergency declaration to go around Congress and sell Saudi Arabia yet more arms and ammunition. Yup, in this bizarre wrold of ours it seems that the more you violate human rights, the more support you get from the country that used to champion human rights and chide and warn those countries that did not. Today, though, not so.
We are a disgrace to ourselves and to the world and perhaps we need to do what Britain is doing - setting up a comedy show that puts Putin in his place, cutting the terror felt about Russian efforts to control elections. Nothing works better than cutting a self important blowhard down to size than making him a laughingstock. That is what is now happening over there and the Russians are holding their breath. Why not a reality show, since Trump seems to like them, wherein we poke much needed and much deserved fun at the moron and demonstrate how far off the track of truth and reality he is by describing himself as a stable genius! Stable maybe, as a well deserved home, but genius? The loser of billions? The liar by the thousands? The terrible father and worse husband? The worst president in modern times and perhaps of all times? Get thee, gone, Trump, in a hurry and let us become America again.
The movie Aladdin is remade yet again and it is supposed to be good, but in the words of a child we get the best lesson one could take from it, a lesson and a child who gives hope for the future. This little 4 year old said, "... you don't need a boy to take you to see the whole world" and "the princess doesn't need a prince to rescue her, she can rescue herself,".
Take the truth from whence it comes. We do not need any outside forces to rescue ourselves. All we need is to take a deep breath, see the needs and the truth and act! Demand!! Deny!! It is time to stop the ich feeling as we contemplate our government. Time to be America once more.
