There is, what appears to be, an increasing number of people on this blue ball, who consider the President of the United States a delusional, somewhat unhinged, old man who has brazen ambitions of becoming a dictator for life. In short, these people, both home and abroad, think the guy is bat shit crazy. In addition, the same people believe he has surrounded himself with people who are as nuts as he is and have the same contempt for the constitution and the concept of democracy as he does. They also are convinced those who steadfastly support the President are devotees to what is known as a, "cult of personality."
Are the people who believe these awful things about Donald Trump and his followers crazy themselves? Are they Communists?
Yesterday, FOX News anchor, John Roberts (As opposed to Chief Justice John Roberts, who recently resurrected the Jim Crow era.) spoke about a phone conversation he had with Donald Trump. Roberts quoted the President as saying, "John, I just want to tell you I'm very serious. So you can talk about this. I'm serious about beginning a process to make Venezuela the 51st state."
Venezuela? Wait, wasn't Canada supposed to be the 51st state? One can only suppose Mr. Trump has grown tired and probably bored with the Canucks constant rejections to his overtures of absorption and has decided to move on. Well, he does seem a fickle sort. Now, apparently, he has decided on someplace new. Someplace that might be more willing to disappear from world maps. Someplace warmer, more suited to year-round golf. Someplace that still has scads of natural resources his family and pals can exploit with few or no consequences.
But wait. Let's get back to Canada for a moment. It's unclear if the Canadians were aware of this breakup. Apparently, Mr. Trump didn't even have the courtesy to send Canada an email telling them he has found a new squeeze. However, despite the sudden turn of events, Canada seems unphased. So much so, the other day, former U.S. President, Barack Obama was up there speaking at a Canadian think tank gala. After he was done, Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney said in part, "Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future--and empower more people to build with us."
This prompted Trumpista commentator, Nick Sortor to write, "...Obama needs to sit down and figure out his freaking place before his ass ends up in prison for violating The Logan Act. Trump is our President; you've been sidelined Hussein." For those unfamiliar with it The Logan Act was enacted into law in January 1799. It basically provides for criminal charges against any American citizen who negotiates with a foreign power without official authorization. You know, like Geworge H.W. Bush did with the Iranians during the 1980 presidential campaign. According to the Federalist Society, The Logan Act has never resulted in a successful prosecution. The Society also said there was, "no evidence," Obama was negotiating anything with the Canadian government.
That didn't stop the MAGA types from howling like gut shot wolves. Another commentator, David J. Freeman wrote, "Barack Obama belongs in jail. A third, attorney Mike Davis asked, "What's Obama, a subversive Marxist, cooking up in Canada?"
All this MAGA outrage over an Obama speech in Toronto triggered Donald Trump last night. Over a five hour span he bombarded social media with 54 posts that said things like, Obama is, "demonic." Another concluded, "Arrest them all. Prosecute them all. Incarcerate them all for treachery, treason, and seditious conspiracy to overthrow the United States government. But first Barack Obama."
Depending on one's point of view, it can be either less, or even more disturbing that, during all this it didn't seem like Trump gave a rat's ass about Obama's Toronto speech. He was raving about the accusations that Russia interfered with the 2016 election on his behalf. The Irish Star reports that interspersed with the barrage of messages there were, "several videos of black individuals engaged in alleged crimes or improper behavior."
Yes, it would seem we can add old fashioned racism to the ever-expanding list of Donald Trump's mental conditions. To prove it, on Sunday he called California Ro Khanna, "SLEAZEBAG, a wolf in sheep's clothing, (who) LIES,LIES AND LIES AGAIN." Then, just for good measure referred to him as, "SCUM." Khanna is of East Indian descent. Then Trump claimed House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries has a, "very low IQ" and, "considers the Supreme Court illegitimate and probably hates our country." Jeffries, who is black was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. At last look, Brooklyn is part of the United States which makes the, "our country," Trump wrote about, Jeffries' country too.
Yes, first Canada, then Greenland, and now Venezuela. Then a Trumpian court who just tossed us back over a century when it comes to voting rights, threats to broadcasters and incarcerations without legal recourse, or even trials. Plus, a new ballroom and, if the bureaucrats get out of the way, an arch so big you'll be able to see it from the fucking International Space station. And both of them will be named after Donald John Trump, who, Evangelical Pastor, Robert Jeffries (No relation to Hakeem.) insists, "...has a better understanding of what the bible teaches than the Pope."
That's right, all that, unabashed corruption on a scale never seen before, and a war without end, amen.
You know all those people who think Donald Trump and his die-hard supporters are crazy? They're right.
