We are reaping the whirlwind.
This is why many of us, including the best of our national security and intelligence communities, diplomats, the best of those who have served in cabinets and in congress, the best of our historians, a bipartisan chorus, said Donald Trump was unfit for office.
In the last year he has whirled like a destructive storm through convention, norm, legality, morality and American values.
We said long ago he was a danger to the US.
He's now breaking international law and convention and neither he nor his ignorant minions and sycophants understand or refuse to ponder the consequence.
Xi or Putin, or the Iranian Holy Council or others have been invited to do to Trump what he has done.
A nation, or a rogue proxy could target JD Vance, or Steven Miller, or Marco Rubio or the pole dancer Sec Def, and with impunity, not that convention or accords or practiced principles that have held the world together hold any sway as of today.
Where, for God's sake, are senior Republicans who could rebuff and begin to control this man? For that matter why haven't former President's Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden spoken to the world and said, this is not the American way.
Donald Trump is an aging and sick narcissist who has deluded himself into thinking a nation is like a business and his business has always been hustle and fraud, lining his pocket first.
Donald Trump is a vulgar and small minded man who is being used by a cabal devoted to breaking or destroying the federal government and recently have been acting as thought they are motivated by Klan and Nazi beliefs. When would we ever expect to allow masked zealots or bounty hunters to openly abduct people of color from their homes, schools, churches, work places and even courthouses?
The right wing Federalist strategy has been effective in breaking the domestic government, but these "true believers" lack the knowledge, experience or intelligence to understand the intricate and complicated sphere of international relations, diplomacy and world affairs. They are right wing wet dream fantasists but the security of the world is well beyond their latent fascism.
A President cannot order and should not order our troops to kill extrajudicially, or gin up false rationale to provoke. A President certainly cannot start a war so he can again line his pockets while crowing about making America rich. That policy is as sick and addled as is he.
Now you understand why media and analysts made the point of saying there are "no adults in the room," no one with sound judgement. The only people around this president are those who have pledged fealty to the mad would be king. This is an era of Presidential insanity.
I have no idea how we pull back from this one.
Unfit, unqualified and a danger to the US. Today he is a danger to the world.
He wants an Old Testament world where he is the King. Who knows what furries he has released. Karma, like payback, can be a bitch.
See you down the trail.
This is the result of willful ignorance from a portion of our society who has little interest in or respect for science, history, or education in general. And sadly, no moral core on which to turn. Thank you for gallantly speaking for those of us who are still struggling to be hopeful. B Sisco
ReplyDeleteBecause my wife's grandmother was born in the UK, we can become Brits...I never thought it would come to this but we are seriously considering it.
ReplyDeleteIf he says ten words, nine are exaggeration or outright lies. How does he still have 35% supporters?
ReplyDeleteWe are buying in Sweden so we have a place to which we can flee. I am trying to get my very elderly father Irish citizenship through his paternal grandmother, so I can then get it through him. I realize we are fortunate.
ReplyDeleteTom: When he was defeated in 2024 and friends of mine were cheering, I warned them not to think the danger had passed. He can run again, I reminded them. That loss gave him four years to put together his unholy alliance, which is the same alliance that will support him when he pushes to do away with the two-term limit for a President. While he is clearly failing and more delusional than ever, he just made his buddies a lot of money with his grab of a huge oil reserve, so they're going to do all they can to make sure he stays in office even if they have to prop him up in a chair and feed him burgers through a tube.
ReplyDeleteNo remaining moral code?
DeleteMoving to England / Ireland?
His minions are the only friends, politicians, business people who have turned a buck while their FRIEND was in office?
Come on!!!
I think the man is differently off center! But he does get involved. Unfortunately way too often and he can’t keep from running his mouth.
There’s no where to run but into the arms of our eternal Savior-Jesus!!! HE is our refuge.
FFS...the opiate of the masses returns....
