"To him who has the sharpest sword."

             
            

             Planet earth languishes in a gray shade on the scale between
 potential and probable nuclear war and devastation. The fool tyrant, King Tangerine, is trying to push us all in the direction of hellfire.

            The Trump crime family greased the skids for cronies to pocket a few million dollars but the Saudi Nuke deal is Pyrrhic and promises to be a death pact. Giving Saudi Arabia, run by MSB, the capacity to build a nuclear weapon, is a leading malevolent and stupid act since humans began to shout at each other. 

            A few learned and skilled minds around the globe agree and said so and so King Tangerine, running true to form, has now invoked a qualifier, the Abrahamic accords.

In the last months we have seen Trump next to MSB wiggling, knee touching and giggling with flirty glances like a goomar in heat as the feckless duo hatched their Faustian deal. 

We’ll see how invoking the new condition will play out, but the notion of Tangerine’s willingness to start selling nuclear trinkets to the named parties in that region remains dunderhead shortsighted and malignant. The Armageddon scenario that could unravel from the deal is perhaps the single most revealing idiot moment that Trump is just too dangerous to tolerate.

            This term has been the proof that he is, as people warned, unqualified and unfit of character and would prove to be a danger to the US and the world. 

            A man who picked a war fight with a rugged and gristly enemy, and who did so with no planning, no expectations, no calculus for duration or departure, and without consent of the people, is not the stature of man that deserves support. The fact that man is Donald Trump, with everything the world knows about him and his inability to speak truth, is all the more reason he should be deposed. The people hired him, the people must now fire him.

            This is problematic of course, but in some 15 weeks the nation has a chance to change the balance in the House and Senate that could result in, finally, a successful impeachment.  I would prefer something quicker. It is not impossible. Members of Nixon’s Republican party spoke to him at another low point in US history, and he resigned. Perhaps the castratos in the Republican caucus can make a “deal” to buy him out. Maybe war criminal Bibi Netanyahu, certainly upset with the Saudi bargain, 

has a workable idea. 

            King Pyrrhus of Epirus, an ancient Greek drove his armies in the savage Battle of Asculum, where they defeated the Romans. His own army suffered such massive losses it prompted him to say “ if we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans we shall be utterly ruined.” That is how and why the term Pyrrhic or Pyrrhic Victory has come into common use. On his deathbed he was asked to whom he would he would leave his kingdom. He echoed the words of his cousin Alexander the Great

“To him who has the sharpest sword.”  

            Marco? JD? Thune? Cassidy? Tillis? Bibi?

 

See you down the trail.

    1. Remains to be seen how this may, or may not play out. It is the principle of his being willing to even consider the option that needs to be examined. Thanks for your reply. tom

    1. That's true. Our media "memory" is lapsing. Generally we (media) have done a poor job of keeping up with his outrageous behavior. Needs to be an "Accountability" beat. Thanks. Tom

  4. Writing from Mumbai, India. In Samkrit, there is a saying , "Vinaash Kaalay, Viparit Buddhi ". Meaning, as your time of being destroyed approaches , your intelligence/thinking goes for a complete toss. This explains his weird agreements with countries, hating his own countrymen who dont earn millions, and destruction of America's natural resources. I did grad school in the US in 1971, i have so many roommates from then , who are like family, i am still in touch with, and I just feel very bad for them. The color orange needs to go. Its a bad omen.

    1. Thank you for your reply and for sharing the wisdom. I take a special comfort in knowing that you, from your distance, have maintained contact with your mates and retained an interest in this nation. I wish you well and send my gratitude. tom

  5. Thanks for the post, Tom. I don't see the partyoftrump doing anything but continuing to flatter and obey the odious bastard.

  6. Mike, he was a kind glue indeed. I can't count the number of times I've said I've got to call Bruce, or send him a piece for his reaction, or just to get his take on something. We covered a lot of miles and lot of news. I hang on to his sense of humor and it helps during these times. Hope you are well up in the Northwest. tom

  7. Why are the military leaders consenting to these bombing raids that lack any military goal? When will they stop him?
