Another Disgusting Day

Here we are, June 2, 2018, and the New York Times has written that for months, President Trump's lawyer have been waging a campaign to keep Special Counsel Robert Mueller from calling the President to testify about his alleged obstruction of justice charge.

The argument is breathtaking, if for mothing else but its audacity!  The argument runs that the president is "The Law," so, therefore, the President cannot break "The Law."

That is precisely why the whole concept of "Policy by Tweet, or "the seat of the pants," or by "whatever makes you talk" is , by its nature, flawed. We seem to have a president who refuses to say he is the "Enforcer" of the laws, but rather, one who says, "I AM the Law."

Ah! The Stalin Approach! But of course, the precursor to Putin, naturally. So that explains his affinity for the "Law Is Me" argument. So that makes him, naturally, not above the law, because he IS the law! Silly ME!!!  His love of the satrap - and Putin - is explained!

I'm really tired of this. The time has come to crack down. We must stop this madness. We are imposing tariffs on allies who will hurt us greatly in retaliation as we spiral into another Depression with our selfish "We Are Better Than You" mentalities! Seriously, have we learned NOTHING in the past century?

This is really "Sad!"

Just beginning

We're just beginning, I guess. Donald Trump has not assumed the presidency, so of course, none of us has any idea what's going to happen.

I could begin on what I believe will be his first assault on the Constitution by telling the world that flag burners should "go to jail or be deported." You know, that Constitutional expression of free speech? Go to jail for saying it! Thank you, Mr. President-Elect!

I could continue on what I believe is an assault on the foreign policy of this nation's credibility, but, then I ask myself, "Why?"

This Moron is going to end civilization as we know it before his first term is out. If we are not all dead, the Constitution and the government as we always thought it should be (doing things for people who can't do those thing by themselves) is History. But, I, after the first month or so of learning of my terminal disease (Trump's election to the Presidency,) have come to terms with it.

I'm really sorry that my grandkids will never see puberty. I'm sorry that my nephew's kids (Bret) won't see their 10th birthdays. I'm so sorry that my generation failed the world so. And I can't say that enough.

But Now is what we're facing. Death by Stupidity.

Assaults on the Constitution are minor. Assaults on minorities because they are, well, Minorities, are forgotten. In the grand scheme of my kids not living past this presidency, So What?

He will be the cause of the end of civilization, and in the 6 minutes he has left to think about it, he will blame every other fucking person but himself, in that 6-year old mindset tirade we've become used to in his tweets. And then we'll all be dead.

And this country will have earned every accolade and aspersion heaped on it up until that time!

I will NOT fight the assaults on the constitution. Oh, of course, I'll rage against the Stupid! I will NOT physically fight those assaults on minorities that are coming. I will live my life as peaceably as I can, because I'm old, and I can actually do nothing about it, (except vote) and I hopefully won't live long enough to see the end of my grandchildrens' lives by this man's stupidity.

But, of course, God will punish me by making me do so. . .

So now what?

Just saying

Donald Trump hasn't taken the reins of governing yet. We're just halfway through November. Hell, we have a whole two months for him to find 4600 people who will work for him and do so with intelligence and with the respect for the American people we've become accustomed to in the past administrations.

And I hear people telling me they resent the press "attacking" Trump when he hasn't taken power yet.

But of course, we know why. He's not doing the job as we've ever known it to be done before.

He has edged out everyone but ******* Bannon to advise him on his other advisors.  Holy Cow! THAT guy!! ??
