The speech at Davos should be the breaking point. Everything about it is a warning signal. Everyone with an interest in tomorrow needs to engage the conversation of how can he be removed.
WHAT HAS COME BEFORE
His deceit, divisive plans, retribution and revenge are warnings enough, but they’ve been normalized. That’s a bad sign. World leaders, repulsed by him, attempt to placate him with phony praise. That’s a bad sign. Republicans joke about him, but dare not speak against him. That’s another warning and it bespeaks the cowardice and lack of character of the republican party who have willingly allowed him to sodomize the GOP. They will be remembered as quislings but that is of little help to the rest of the world now.
His ignorance, wrapped in his arrogance, his instability abetted by sycophants, possibly the least qualified and oddest assortment of administration players in history, leave us all exposed to dangerous potential.
How many times have people said if only Hitler had been removed, how many million lives could have been saved? The same is said of Joseph Stalin, and for that matter about tyrants throughout history.
WHEN WARNINGS ARE IGNORED
He was dangerous enough when he decided not to govern a United States, but to champion the grievances of MAGA. When a man says “only he can do,” you have there a neon warning. This unfit and unqualified man is where he should never be. When a leader seeks revenge and retribution, you live in a dangerous nation. A leader who orders extrajudicial murder is an outlaw. When a man who has evinced racist characteristics repeatedly, turns an army of masked agents and thugs loose to terrorize people of color, including US citizens, you are getting a full on warning this man has to be stopped.
NOW THIS
And then the speech at Davos. Has a world leader ever been so incompetent, intellectually bankrupt, abusive, threatening, incoherent, foundering, deceitful, or embarrassing while looking and acting like a carrier of catastrophe?
Watch it, or read it, or view as many clips and analysis as you can. The world can have no clearer warning, no more obvious signal, Donald Trump is a clear and present danger, full stop.
It’s time for America to begin to pull him away from power and to begin a national conversation about the ways that can be done. When a man says the only thing that can restrain him is his own morality, when that is said by a cheat, fraud, sexual predator and malignantly narcissistic vulgarian, with his record, it’s the most obvious warning sign the cosmos can offer.
WE OWE IT TO A FUTURE
Donald Trump is not to be trusted. He is not well. He is not rational. He must be stripped of power.
See you down the trail.
Tom: With a castrated Congress and a compliant Supreme Court, our entire system of governance— the once touted system of checks and balances— has ceased to exist. That makes it harder than ever to get rid of the jackals and jack asses comprising this administration, let alone the man at the top of the heap. Dangerous, deluded, and demonic, he absolutely should be removed from office, but he won’t be because he’s the jester in a court made up of oligarchs who are the real power behind the throne. While I agree with your assessment, I have no faith in the system as it now exists. It has been corrupted so completely it no longer functions.
ReplyDeleteBe careful, Tom. It is seriously dangerous out there. You live on a freedom bubble, but he's invading those. I would rather die abroad at the hand of an invading foreign power than on the streets of my own city at the hands of masked, cowardly Americans.
ReplyDeleteYes to all of this, and so, now what??
ReplyDeleteLinda, the national conversation needs to start. Perhaps his inner circle know about him as Biden's recognized his slowing. There needs to be pressure from the Hill and the media on that. How do former military leadership assess the situation? What are the options for refusing a Presidential order? We need to discuss what happens if Hamas, or another regional source were to hit Trump, or discuss what if an international court or tribunal were to list him as a war criminal (un documented pretense for the multiple boat killings)...etc etc...Thune, Johnson, et al need to be questioned directly, can they assess his stability, can they condone his destroying a half a century of strategic alliances, more of that.The culture of media and public discussion must draw a red line and say we refuse to accept this insanity and aberration any further, it is time to acknowledge the most powerful man in the world is off the rails.
