WHAT. WAS. THAT.

     Yesterday I had the feeling I was in some weird otherworld, a twisted version of this world and the way it is supposed to be. No,I am not nuts, but wow, was yesterday weird and today is beginning to set off down the same strange path.
     Alzheimer's dementia often has the victim in a setting of rage, wherein the anger comes through but the meanings are wrong, false, and way over the top. Well, yesterday we had a perfect example of this demented rage, whatever the cause, by none other than our oh so esteemed and dignified President. As a plus, the rage was telegraphed to us, his captive audience, via both Twitter and via oral presentation. That poor abused and misused Rose Garden, so used to dignified presentations rather than these insane and false rants. Tsk,tsk.
     The problem is getting worse and rather than confronting it up front, of admitting that our President, illegitimate in office in the first place, is beyond help, is mad, insane, mentally unbalanced, a victim of some degenerative disease, and manifestly unable to fulfill his responsibilities of office. Period. And then.... the whole issue and events have disappeared from the air, from newsfeeds, from anywhere. It is as if it never occurred. His rants of maybe 10,12,14 more years in office, a rant he has chanted about more and more frequently of late, his demented gathering of extreme and dangerous right wingers yesterday for a "conference" - G-d help us!! An open presentation of where he plans to go and top it all off with the on again announcement of immigration raids and if there is collaeral damages, well, so be it!! 
     The callousness of that remark! So is an undocumented 5 month old being babysat by an undocumented 15 year old who is a target because of jaywalking, a dangerous criminal, is that baby going to be taken, to disappear into our own American 'night and fog'? Shall we then send these minors off to, oh, say, Chicago, which has lately become the go to place for dumping sick immigrant kids, no parents, no real help, just isolating them from other kids elsewhere, never mind that they should not be sick in the first place, but untolerableand unhealthy situations have caused disease and illness. An elementary understanding, but evidently our government does not care one whit. So what. was. that.
     We have environmental disasters at every turn of the clock's hands and yet the demented one boasts how America leads the world in environmental protection. Say what? As the country floods from overwhelming rains, as earthquakes and aftershocks wrack southern California, as drought hits other places and forest fires rage, as Miami floods every day, as fat cat rich folks buy up higher elevation homesites, discarding the people who live there now, for after all, who needs to be priority - and do not even bother answering that question - as Barry approaches an already flooded Lousiana and New Orleans, with the river at an unprecedented high for the time of year - as we face all this - well, guess we do lead in a way, a bad way.
     So we tell people to go back to Mexico for speaking Spanish, while he is actually from Puerto Rico, but you know, memes of hatred are just that! Wonder what would have happened if we had sent back all those immigrants speaking Gael, Yiddish, accented English, Hungarian, Slovakian, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Korean, Japanese etc.? Where does this end? What. Was. That. In fact, What.  Is.  That.
     The outlines of the future under the despotic control of Trump and minions. The lack of rights, as he and his argue as to what is a human right and what is not. The vast and widening chasm between us and our allies as Trump tantrums away due to their truthful and uncomplimentary way they assess him. The love fest with violent dictators and our traditional enemies, countries who are full of violations of human rights, who think nothing of killing any member of the opposition. The constant hateful push to make prejudice a standard part of our society.
     WHAT.  WAS.  THAT.  WHAT.  IS.  THAT.
