The Times They are a Strangin’

Get Your Chrump On

November 11, 2018
On this Day of Remembrance, marking the centennial anniversary of the World War I Armistice, let us remember that the so-called president of the United States backed out of visiting the Aisne-Marne American cemetery because he was afraid of getting his “hair” wet.  Why does Donald Chrump hate our troops?  And why the fck does he care so much about his fcking “hair”?
I find it interesting that so many, let’s call them people, want to change the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution because times have changed.  One in particular, let’s call him the fake president, keeps screaming about the so-called invasion of foreigners (you know, the ones that are not from Norway) who pose a grave threat to our national security.  Therefore, he insists that if not we, then he must fix the Fourteenth Amendment – a cornerstone of the inclusiveness that makes America what it is.  Somehow, these same people would just as soon shoot you in the face (I’m looking at you Dick Cheney) as harm a single letter of the sacred Second Amendment, despite the fact that our daily mass shootings threaten more than our national security.
It remains frightening to me that 40 percent of this country is delusional and addicted to the lies, authoritarianism and white nationalism coming from Der Furor.  Despite the significant, at-least-temporary-life-saving changes to the House of Representatives due to begin on January 3, 2019, we remain stymied and almost suffocated by the Toxic Orange Gas Cloud and those who remain hypnotized by its fumes.
A very stable Janus
As everyone knows by now, Donald Chrump believes that the Attorney General of the United States is tasked with protecting the president, in this case – from himself, among others.  As most people who are not Donald Chrump know, the Attorney General is not, in fact, the personal lawyer for the president, let alone his Roy Cohn.  El Prezidente has installed, in defiance of the Constitution and common sense, what passes for his Roy Cohn – except that Roy Cohn, though crooked to the core, was a competent lawyer, unlike Matt Whitaker by all accounts.
It appears that very soon, this president will be in actual and dire need of a personal attorney, as various jurisdictions are nearing the moment when the myriad crimes of Donald Chrump finally make it to some number of courtrooms.  Chrump is poised to make Richard Nixon look like Mother Teresa.

 “I can tell you Matt Whitaker is a great guy.  I mean, I know Matt Whitaker.”
Donald Trump, October 11, 2018

 “I don’t know Matt Whitaker.  Matt Whitaker worked for Jeff Sessions, and he was always extremely highly thought of*, and he still is**.  But I didn’t know Matt Whitaker.”

The Scream, and it’s latest explanation
They say the pendulum of politics swings back and forth.  I just hope the pendulum of politics is not like the pendulum of physics.  The real pendulum will eventually come to a grinding halt due to gravity.  Sure, it can swing back and forth, back and forth for quite some time under the right conditions, but unless it is swinging in a vacuum, it will come to a dead stop.  We are not living in a vacuum…it just feels like it.
