A recent insight into something fairly obvious has, nevertheless, given me hope. It seems we are doomed, but are we? Probably all we need is tenacity and to keep our wits about us as our current witless administration bumbles on. Here's the thing: Mr Trump cares nothing about ethics. He habitually operates in that risky area between lawlessness and law. Apparently, this has always been a survivable mode in his past real estate (and other) ventures. Ethics be damned.
Now, however, there is a gigantic looming lava flow that will burn up every possible shrub he squats behind. Mr Trump will be burnt to a crisp way before he gets to hell. He just has no clue about this because, for one thing, he is NOT a fast learner. Besides not being curious or smart or self-aware, Mr Trump is clearly unwell. But that is something he, his family and his sycophants are unwilling to admit. Alas. It will not end well for him or them.
This brings me to the impetus for today's blog: articulate, smart, analytical minds who write and share their thoughts. I admit that I have become addicted to political news in recent years. Obama gave me great hope. Mr Trump? Well, definitely a cause for anger and despair. And I might fall into totally irreversible anger and despair except for hopeful things I can hold onto. There are lots of these things, for me, and I want to share an article here. (NB: I cannot seem to post a link, but am posting the TPM info below. Looks like TPM editor has a good blog, and I will read more of it soon!) I hope this helps others, and I can say that it has inspired me and is worth reading:
