With all the technological marvels at our disposal…instant, constant communication, omnipresent Google, and 3D printers (which to me is like a miracle: you see it but can only think it’s not possible). And then we have dear leader. He does it low tech. His ideas intersect sharpie with paper. He would be better served to have the sharpie do the talking. We would be better served. Fiddling while Rome burns. In his case, twittering.
Curious how we hear nothing about Russia these days. Have they found the antidote or are they just twisting and hiding numbers. It is hard to imagine how the lust for money and power so corrupts that those elected to lead and uphold the constitution would choose a path of destruction. Fauci for all his knowledge and wisdom knows what he will not say…that Trump does not care.
There is a muted and weak call amongst some journalists to stop airing Trump’s “press briefings.” At the very least, do not air them live. That allows time for fact checking and debunking. Remember, the only fake news now and always has emanated from the Oval Office. To this point, it has been a matter of political parsing. Now it is life and death. But dear leader cannot pivot. And now we are all as crazy as he is by definition…doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.
It could be that the believers think they will be shielded. That like a rapture, they will be lifted up and saved from the apocalypse. But Trump is not Jesus…he just thinks he is. Crazy.
