We have no one to blame but ourselves. For the genuine trump supporters that have stuck with him through his litany of some genuine crimes, and total lack of morality, there is nothing to say. Hopefully, you'll have to soon crawl back under your rocks and mutter to each other.
To those who chose him over Clinton, or didn't vote because 'they didn't like either of them', to both I say you are culpable in this, it is your fault. It shows a lack of judgement on your part, and a real ignorance of the world.
To those who've (big edit here which clearly went awry again) didn't supported him, you need to redouble your efforts, and elect representatives who won't support him,
and his latest advisor standing next to him. Neocon fascist John B who helped bring us some previous unnecessary wars. :(
ReplyDeleteOne of many, Ray. Hope you and wife are well.
DeleteHis body language has always fascinated me. I've dealt with my own toddlers with similar stances.
ReplyDeleteI think the democratic process of voting needs to be completely revised both in the USA and Canada. The popular vote is not being honoured under our current systems.

Agree.

ReplyDeleteAren't you glad to know it wasn't British troops that burned the white house?
DeleteThe electoral vote can be bought. It has no place in modern democracy.
ReplyDeleteAnd with rubles, even.
DeleteI wonder if part of the problem is telling the other side they live under rocks. Do their mothers wear combat boots, too? Talk about how much prescriptions cost now. Talk about their kids' college debt. Talk about the cost of gas, or how many deployments their children are sent on. Pick up a lunch tab. They're people, too.
ReplyDeleteI respectfully disagree. I refer you to Pitt's recent column, reprinted in the NYTimes I think in the last couple weeks, where he writes convincingly that talking with die-hard trump supporters is unproductive. I personally have read comments from one who said that he did not care if trump's actions hurt him or his family. As long as 'libtards' don't like him, he'll vote for him. Not much reasoning with that. When he's gone, they'll creep back to the shadows until their next demagogue comes along.
DeleteAnd the only thing that'd make me want to buy one of them lunch is when trump is impeached. Sort of a celebration bowl of soup. Maybe made from crow.......
DeleteI don't read that look on his face as being embarrassed or guilty … I see him plotting revenge. His ONLY emotion is how it affects him personally … to Hell with the country or, heaven forbid, the world.
ReplyDeleteI fear you're correct, Ginnie. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteHey AC
ReplyDeleteSummer there yet? 41 here this morning, fresh snow above 7K on the mountains around.
It's a truly humiliating time to be an American, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI suppose it is, if that is one's primary identity, and if one was lacking in a certain area of what some call patriotism, love of country, etc. I lack that. I like the land north of the border, south of the border, the same as here. It's a interesting issue, and one you have many other things on your mind. Best to you and T. and tomorrow will go well. Sleep easy.
DeleteI second that. I hope the political will rises to end his regime. In time he will be revealed, splayed, diagnosed, and analyzed by historians, psychologists, writers, filmmakers and comedians. Every bit of him will be evident and it will played like something akin to a side show carnival act. He will be the sand lot cheap shot of a president.
ReplyDeleteI hope it happens sooner than later, with his judicial appts he's already hurt the US quite badly.
DeleteAs an outsider (UK) I have to agree with all of you.
ReplyDeleteHow do you feel about brexit? just curious, only have a few of you across the pond who read this.
DeleteAnd needs to be lanced.
