The Bastille has fallen. The Reign of Terror will soon begin. The tumbrils will roll in Washington. President Obama will keep that stiff upper lip as the patricians of politics are dispatched. Donald Trump will not be the first incompetent in the White House. He is just the most dangerous.
Did you watch the vacuous Trump entourage take the stage to accept their victory? He now has the FBI, the NRA, the Ku Klux Klan and the American Armed Forces on side. Wow, has he ever got weapons of mass destruction at his bidding. He has even got nukes to settle the upsets in the Middle East. A new approach to ‘peacekeeping’ is in the offing.
He told his foolish followers of the new era of infrastructure to come. He wants them to build him a pyramid in the Washington Mall. And it best be finished in four years.
Hillary Clinton’s speech the next morning was gracious. It must have taken her writers all night to write it. If she had sounded that positive throughout the marathon campaign, she would have had an even better speech to give.
But what do you say when a congenital liar gets into the White House. Will we just get used to the hyperbole of the con man? How do you ignore him?
Hey, his con worked you know! There are people in the United States who really think Hillary Clinton belongs in jail. Why? And why did it take so damn long for people to realize she is smarter than her husband? The only thing she was guilty of was not understanding how to handle Donald Trump. He is no politician. He is not even a Republican. He is a lecher and a misogynist. He is just a con man.
But look folks and friends in America, somebody has to drive a wedge between that fool and Congress. If those people get to work together, you are not going to like the results. You have to filibuster his Supreme Court appointments. You have to make sure people are not dying on the streets without medical services. You cannot keep militarizing the police across America and giving them free rein to shoot people.
And somebody has to pay some taxes. You might have a President now who does not think the rich should pay but nobody wants to loan that deadbeat any money. You have to clean up the fiscal mess.
There has always been a great respect for the American dream. We should take care it does not become the American nightmare.
