I took a bit of a vacation from political blogging because every time I look at Trump and company, all I can feel is pure and simple disgust. I can barely scrape it together to rhetorically fluff the corruption and assholery into something mildly amusing, anymore. In the clip above, the president of South Africa has been subjected to an ambush of white genocide claptrap by a senile racist lunatic, and levels Trump with a quip about his obvious corruption--and Trump, unknowingly sells it: of course he would take a plane from anyone. He's a taker, a crook.RAMAPHOSA: I am sorry I don't have a plane to give you

TRUMP: I wish you did. I'd take it. If your country offered the US Air Force a plane, I would take it

And everyone knows it.
Of course, this is about the "free plane" from Qatar, which has now been accepted by the Department of Defense. There is no such thing as a free plane. It will need to be hardened for use as a base f operations for the US C-i-C, and it should be inspected minutely for any surveillance devices. And the funny old thing is--Trump asked for it.
In this past week, Trump has demonstrated his wildly inappropriate and out of touch lack of temperance and proportionality with respects to journalists, celebrities, elected officials, the truth, in ways that continue to display the stress points of his ego and unfitness.
He's investigating everyone. ABC, CBS, Springsteen, Oprah, the Tooth Fairy....and some people might say it's a strategy to distract from things like his incompetent Secretary of Defense, his incompetent Secretary of Homeland Security (who does not know what habeas corpus means), his incompetent DNI, who does not seem to understand that "intelligence" and "propaganda" are two very different things. (Or any of his cabinet--there's a lot of incompetence to go around. There's a surplus, actually.)
He's not doing anything strategically. The journalists who, right now, want to argue about Biden's fitness in the office he left five months ago could certainly screw their eyeballs back into place and try looking at whether Trump is now or ever has been competent, but I guess they've still got Biden books to sell.
Here I was thinking Trump was in office partially because he sold more books. Perhaps we will be waiting until 2029 for that.
But I really think we need that discussion right now, because I already can barely handle my disgust.

Welcome back! Any slideshows of your vacation?
It's been almost a month and I've been coming back every day to see when you might return. I hope all is well!
Been a minute and while you need the time you need... We all lost YellowDogGrannie last year so when one of the people (yes, people because most of my favorite people are not human) I think of as an online friend is gone I worry. Yeah, I know but I'm already a worrier so it's no extra energy to include you into the mix.
I hope you are healing, that your soul no longer cringes when you think of the mess WeThePeople face here/now. Yes, it's as awful as all that. Nope, I've no solutions as I've been so focused on getting humans to acknowledge there is an issue in the first place that now I'm beyond tired. It appears our fellow citizens, those with the blinders considering all things FOTUS, are waking up.
Wait, no, they are arising from their self imposed stupor but only to yell at those already awake suggestions of what must be done when we already tried all that months ago, hence the wake up call. Humans: dumb, stupid, panicky folk without a lick of sense amongst them, may the herd do a stampede into the middle of all the horrific things happening, thereby effecting a change for the good of all and may it harm none. Best I've got. Hope it helps. Sending loves, because that's what I do.
Here's hoping you're back when you're ready with more "Strangely" wisdom!
