Is everybody asleep at the wheel? Is everybody engaging with overdoses and sleep through the day and the night and the day and the night and on and on? How do we continue to ignore a blatant disruption and dismantling of this nation? How is it possible that we do not see this? Or if we do see it, we continue to let this condition grow, cannibalizing itself, consuming all the detritus left behind lest someone be motivated by it. And here we are, an America most definitely not America any longer. Our ethos is shattered. Our morality nonexistent. Progress made in our 2+ centuries have been discarded alongside our rotten chosen current path and alongside this terrible roadway we can see and hear the ghosts of the Founding Fathers, the ghosts of those killed in defending this nation, weeping, inconsolable.
Simply put, we have lost both our collective mind and our individual minds. We have lost our steel and courage. We have become the antitheses of the America we once were. Since when do Americans, people and nation cower before dictators, cowardly, demented and toxic. When did we fall willing victim to a sly soulless individual who has only malice aforethought for fellow Americans?
Why are we sitting at our tables, our couches, our desks, entertaining ourselves, ignoring reality until that reality bursts upon us with a BANG! No more flipping channels and seeking diversions on streaming. The longer we delay the longer it will take to retrieve this nation from those who have hijacked it, kept it prisoner, starving it to death, with the end goal the final death of America, even if the name is retained.
Judges, embattled in their lonely fight to withstand Trump's consistent violation of the law, his contempt for the rule of law, and no one does a thing to enforce decisions, hold him accountable and apply the law as we do for all. No One is above the law though he has claimed so and we allow him to skate on by. There is no daylight between this man, this monster, for so he is, and early precedents, other crazed rulers throughout history, including the modern ones, Stalin, Lenin, Putin, Hitler. Same difference.
He has used his Executive Power as a dictator, wreaked vengeance on all his "enemies" and one never knows where one stands - on or off the shitlist. Consequentially, the cowards, the sniveling critters who pose as cabinet members, as advisers, as members of the two Houses of Congress, GOP functionaries at all levels refuse to speak up and out and cower before him.
When one boils the matter down to its essence one realizes what we have is simply a demented, overindulged, spoiled brat of a bully. The only thing that bullies understand is force and resistance, and it is time to use that force and resistance against him and those who enable him, who blindly follow his fiats. It is time to use the full power of the law, of protest, and stop this man and his henchmen in their tracks. If we do not do that and soon, we might as well jump off the ship, lifeboats ready or not.
It is within our power, the power of the electorate, to do this, to demand an impeachment and conviction for him and all who conspire and consort with him to destroy this nation. And make no mistake about that - that is his goal, plain and simple and obvious. Always has and always will unless we stop indulging his dangerous manic Mad Hatter behavior. He is not the late one - we are.
Furthermore, on the simple exhibition of his demented diminished mental status and ineligibility to remain in office and immediately apply the 25th Amendment, though frankly not sure re Vance and his qualifications either. Perhaps we need to throw the entire government out of office, incompetence, or treason, or contagious dementia, whatever works. Redo the elections with better qualifications and demonstrations of independent thinking, a stable spine and mind, and a love of this country. But certainly, this man, Trump, this man who could not remember to sign two documents at a special session for just that, who had to be shown the way back as he shuffled off like an old shell of a man, had to be reminded and shown the way back and be reminded once more of what he was supposed to do. Most emphatically not presidential material.
In his own words, as the market tanked unbelievably, with no bottom visible, as we stand on the cusp of insufferable prices and food shortages along with scarce manufactured items, he says to "Hang Tough, America"!!!
So, let's do that exactly as he urged.
Hang tough against all those who want to destroy this nation.
Hang tough and work with the judiciary and use the power of the law against those who defy it.
The protests round the nation were a great start.
Let's wake up the zombies in Congress.
Hang tough for all our
yesterdays.
For all the coming
todays.
And certainly, hang tough for all the proper
On the morrows.
