The trailer trash presidency. All that money and he surrounds himself with the gaudiest decor and furnishings money can buy, real Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos-grade. I can't see America recovering from its dysfunction while this buffoon remains in the White House - if ever.
I had coffee with a friend of mine this morning, Mound, and I wondered the same thing: Can American democracy recover from this tawdry parody? Will future candidates have to promote infamy or embrace outlandish tactics?
.. its to laugh.. or cry .. & it just gets stupider & stupider..
I often harp about 'exemplars' - of course I do.. but we are watching an American journey unfold to planet stupid.. planet corrupt .. planet ignorant Point me to an exemplar.. within the GOP or within the current White House retinue.. Maybe there is one, among the maids or kitchen staff or the gardeners.. but not at the lunch or dinner table
We are watching the headlong rush of an ignorant horde.. In fact going in the opposite direction of exemplars
There's little to say at this point.. just watch n see as North America falls - plunges to rock bottom the great buffalo jump, stampeding off the cliffs the high dive into an empty swimming pool a stroll through the quicksand.. a brief swim in the everglades piloting a jet without taking on any fuel
An excellent clip, Lorne -- which underscores the fact that Trump is a very small man.
ReplyDeleteOne hopes the message will reach those who really need to hear it, Owen.

Pick a disaster analogy, you can't go wrong..
As always, Sal, your imagery is spot on and evocative. The dystopian nature of American society often leaves me without words!
