Seriously, what the hell are we working with or dealing with? Shocking and obvious is the lack of brains and thinking power at the highest ranks of government, both former and unfortunately those who remain in seats of power despite reprehensible behavior and words, despite their most clear abuse of right and privilege, even as they turn against this country in a most unfortunate and dangerous turn of events. What have we allowed, enabled, much to our detriment?
The crude boor who used to occupy, shamefully, the highest seat of power is an overgrown toddler, seeking to test the limits of his power over those who live in the same house. They have taken away his ba-ba, limited access to his 'passy', and refused to continue to indulge his worst tantrums. In typical selfish toddler behavior, he threatens to bring down the house on those who refuse him. Either do what I want, or I will make you pay is the mantra heard spewing out of his mouth and the mouths of his co-conspirators and enablers.
The latest indignity laid down in front of us is the blustery threat, though all too real - and well he knows it - to destroy all unless his possessions are returned. Posthaste. His most prized possession is not Mar a Lago, but the Oval Office, or rather the Residence within where he can safely throw his tantrums and inflict torment on all unfortunate enough to be caught up in his shenanigans and dangerous machinations. That would be the entire nation.
He unbelievably demands "reinstatement as the rightful President" or a new election - STAT! ASAP! And if not, well, check back on the lovely clearly implied threat found within his missive to Garland and/or the words of Lindsay Graham who, enmeshed in his deeds and efforts to overturn the Georgia election results, has also turned to ridiculous claims of immunity or else- and here comes the violence threats again. Sickening, pathetic, yet dangerous. Joining in the lovely parade of 'statesmen' caught in a web of their own making, hoist by their own petard, are Ron Johnson and Jim Jordan, along with McCarthy, should be there McConnell, Perry, Cruz, Rubio, that fascist De Santis, Abbott and myriad numbers of others.
They and their fellow travelers should be called the RAD - Republicans Against Democracy Party rather than the GOP. Republicans, or should we say RINO Republicans as they do not come anywhere near the traditional dignity and respectability, viability, possible, viewpoints and platforms of the true GOP. They are the fakes. They have usurped this party and sent it headlong into shame. They are the dangerous ones who pose a danger to our democracy, eating away at it from within. Most dangerous for those - us - being eaten alive even as some actually applaud it, even as the sound of the teeth, the rending of the fabric of the nation, grows ever louder, ever nearer. More difficult to overcome. Harder to bring back democracy, to eliminate the possibility of such a drastic turn of events and people again.
The man is a crazed, demented bull in that proverbial china shop, breaking all things to his left, his right, behind and in front of him, no control, no safety valve, no shutoff button. The time has come for the nation and its representatives in the form of Garland and the Justice Department to put an end to the constant intrusion of delaying tactics, suborned biased judges who have no connection to the case at all, other than being appointed by Trump.
We all must take a deep breath, prepare ourselves for a rough year or two, even fraught with threats and possibilities, perhaps probabilities, of violence, and then rejoice as the man dons an orange jumpsuit, dyed especially to match his complexion.
Enough already. We are allowing him to make a farce of justice, to make a joke of the Constitution, to defy the principles of the Declaration. Most dangerous, is the split in the firmament of our nation, 'united' draining fast even as divided, angry chasms form, apparently bottomless and impossible to be bridged.
Give the infant his ba-ba wrapped in a receipt from the prison canteen, have done with him. Let us get on with the much needed, desperately needed, most difficult work of a successful reconstruction, a reuniting of this country, convincing all that despite all that has gone on before, we remain one. We are the United States of America. Once we were, or came ever closer to it, and we can do and be that again.
G-d Bless America. From Sea to Shining Sea.
