On The Shoulders of Giants

A Clear and Present Traitor

The Original Idiot President

There’s an old saying in Russia...I know it’s in America, it’s probably in Russia...fool me once...oh wait, wrong saying...If I have seen farther than others it is because I am standing on the shoulders of giants.  A humble, accomplished, person will invoke this maxim, giving credit to those who laid the foundation of his or her current accomplishments.  Donald Chrump of course does not know the meaning of the word humble (or most other non-four-letter words for that matter).  And strangely, even as prezident of the United States, he seems spectacularly unaccomplished.

Chrump, even if he were aware of the existence of anyone other than himself, let alone those who died before he was born, would never credit anyone for anything.  The exceptions that prove the rule in this case would be the very strong leaders of Russia and North Korea, both of whom Chrump credits with being strong and saying nice things to him.  More recently, Chrump has been trying to give “credit” to Democrats for his horrific policy of snatching young children and infants from their parents and banishing them to camps and cages all across this country.  Some people call this lying.  Some people are less judgmental and simply see this as the normal behavior of a sociopath.  Children as young as four years old have been compelled to defend themselves in court.  HFS.  But, I digress. 

FBI Deputy Director Rod Rosenstein just announced another 12 indictments of Russians directly involved in hacking the Democrats, sticking their electronic hands into our elections, and directly communicating with people high up in the Chrump campaign.  Chrump, nonetheless, is heading to Helsinki to meet with his handler Putin, one assumes to give him the keys to the country – not Finland, but America.  Unless the Chrumpublican party does a 180, and very soon, our democracy could be in unprecedented jeopardy.  But, I digress again.

It is simply unavoidable to be standing on the shoulders of those who came before any of us, one way or another, whether intentionally or otherwise, with the exception of Don Chrump.  Chrump has indeed been standing on the shoulders of terrible giants, like Roy Cohn, like Putin, like Fred Chrump.  When it comes to the kind of great giants to whom the saying refers – people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln – Chrump is not standing on their shoulders, but on their throats.  This is not because he is in any way grander than they were, but because he kept kicking them in the nuts until they collapsed in agony.

Alas, poor Yokel! What the fuck is wrong with you?
