NOT A CHANCE!

  Seriously? You gotta' be kidding. Approach any director, any producer in the movie business and present a script containing this plot and expect nothing else other than being laughed out of the office and sent directly to the nearest shrink. Or better yet, to the locked ward of the nearest hospital for a mandatory 72-hour hold, for evaluation and diagnosis and recommendation for treatment.  Reason for this involuntary commitment?   He poses a serious and immediate existential danger to both himself and this nation.  

The inevitable diagnosis would be a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, the very same mental disease named for him. Recommendation? An order for permanent incarceration within a luxurious locked ward where the man could engage in any kind of make-believe world he imagines. Where his ego is never challenged, where he can boast of his oh so wonderful plans without being questioned and/or challenged. Where no one asks him difficult questions, causing him to descend into paroxysms of word salad and repetitions of absolute nonsense and verbiage of a child. i.e. Referring to Democrats who are refusing to give him a clear road ahead on his "Big Beautiful Bill" are deemed "Bad People". 

Or when he persists in living in a rather inaccurate conception of the past, wherein an election was rigged. (It was clearly not so.) Or when he persists in spouting imaginary statistics of egregious untruth, to support his completely deranged antagonism towards 'immigrants' - legal or otherwise, all according to his specifications. Legality? Ignored. Constitutional rights? Ignored or rammed out of commission. Proper Presidential behavior and understanding of the requisite dignity and honesty of his position? Say what? To end his use of the nation to enrich his financial standing, brazenly, no apparent understanding of the wrongs he is perpetrating upon the nation and the world in general. None at all.  Nor does he care.

Perhaps the most painful aspect of it all is that he cannot fathom the degree to which he has become the butt of the routines of comedians. And the belly laughs of the audiences in response.  His rampant rages are imitated, and he comes off as the idiot, the dangerous one, he is. He rants and raves maniacally, eerily reminiscent of the behavior of Hitler, engaging in vitriolic attack against immigrants, legal or not, any immigrant will do. How much better America and the world would have been if his grandfather had been refused entry into this nation! Ahh, the dreams of woulda', coulda', shoulda'.  

I wonder how this nation could have missed the terrible harm immigrants inflicted upon this nation. How could we have not seen clearly the "damages" done by all those immigrants and their descendants. (Oooh, Donny Boy, getting close to home, is it?)    Intellectuals, scientists, writers, artists, playwrights, doctors, researchers, judges, carpenters, painters, teachers, religious leaders. Name the field and therein you will find immigrants galore. The bone structure of this nation. That is the truth. Not this.

 “USA HATING JUDGES” judges were “ON A MISSION” to allow “MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD” in the U.S. so they could “ROB, MURDER AND RAPE AGAIN.”

Courtesy of the twisted hate filled threatening and deranged mind of Trump, so shamefully our President. And please not to forget that mental institutions and the prisons of the world are directly flooding our borders with their freed human refuse. So speaks this oh so special social and moral arbiter. G-d help us, but then again, why the Hell would He wish this one in His neighborhood? Even the Devil declines. 

In the throes of his dementia this man has managed to cripple the political structure of this nation. He has somehow caused grown men and women to lose their sense of self, to trash their independence of mind and thought, to grovel before him as if he were the Lord High Almighty Himself. (Sorry about that thought. Please forgive.)  

I can't for the life of me figure it out. They swing with every wild turn he makes, even when clearly contradictory or nasty beyond belief. He pardons crooks, cheaters, liars and traitors, but then again, when one sees the reflection in the mirror, when the shoe fits. when Jan6 haunts the nation, well, ... 

Just about the only thing standing in the way of the introduction of authoritarianism into this nation, the shredding of our Constitution and our democratic tradition, is the federal judiciary. Within that challenged body resides the hopes and chances of this nation to survive the demented, egotistical, monarchial ambitions of Trump et al. Consistently, they hold the line, turn down his ridiculous twisted cases and complaints presented by his soulless lawyers, lawyers who collude in the attempts to wreck this nation, to allow the dismantling of our three-branch system of government, of checks and balances put in place for precisely such times as these. 

When the rot builds up from the inside, when even the Bible warns us that the worst foes are those who come from the inside, from among us, then we must heed the clarion call. Rescue our nation. Turn out the false leaders of Congress. Disbar patently law-breaking attorneys. Impeach tainted judges and the villain within the Oval Office. We must find once again a backbone for our national spine. Reclaim our national ethos, the impetus within to go forward positively and truly. A pipe dream no longer deemed possible? I cannot agree. I will not agree. We must not agree.  

We cannot give up; there is too much at stake. For us, for our children, in the name of our ancestors who were brave and bold, who dared to dream, and made it possible for us to dream as well. 

Our yesterdays, our todays, our tomorrows. 

Together. As it should be. 

Remember who we are, what America is, a land of dreams made possible, a democracy where one's voice can be heard, an ethos of better lives for all, in peace.

As an aside, as an English teacher at heart, I cannot but love the actions of the judge who took Trump and lawyers to task for the ridiculous overuse of exclamation points to the point of idiocy. Gotta' love the judge. Kudos to him. (Gotta' hate the fact of the ignorant President we have.)
