White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has to be able to see the “writing on the wall….”
She’s next.
Who else is there?
And forget about the little incident where an unflattering picture of her was taken down when people mistook the wrinkly, weathered red neck of an actual turkey with her own.
He dumped Attorney General Pam Bondi when she bungled the ICE screwup in Minnesota and as soon as she proved no longer useful to him.
Same with Kristi Noem, deposed and humiliated ICE chief and the ex-Secretary of Homeland Security.
He has to live with his dumbass decisions in appointing a spineless group of thieves, fraudsters and liars (just like himself) to sit on the Supreme Court.
They stopped construction on the Grand Ballroom Fiasco, the latest offering from the Trump Trailer Trash School of Design, with everything painted gold. (maybe people won’t notice that it’s not real gold.
A judge correctly pointed out such actions required Congressional approval.
Oh yeah, a pesky little detail like that was somehow “overlooked.”
“But he likes me…we’re friends”
I am sure that is what Kristi and Pam said, too.
Democracy isn’t for everybody.
We stole the principles of democracy for ourselves from the Republican ideals of France in the eighteenth century and we have managed to erode and bastardize the form of government into a Lite version of itself that is no longer recognizable or workable in today’s world.
Capitalism and avarice are the governing factors in America today, but in direct contrast with what Wall Street’s Gordon Gekko said, greed is NOT good.
It is not right.
It does not work.
It does not clarify.
It will not, in all its purest forms, (greed for life, money and knowledge)
mark the upward surge of mankind. (quite the opposite in fact)
….and greed will not save ANY company OR that other malfunctioning corporation called the United States of America.
Greed polarizes.
It stratifies an already fractured society and pushes us towards our own unique caste system.
And not in a good way.
The landlocked African nation of Burkina Faso got the memo; they want nothing at all to do with democracy. (“It is not for us.”) says their most recent despot Ibrahim Traore.
Not to be too concerned….
Pol Potbelly Trump will eventually pass like…..wait for it…..pull my finger…..
There.
Like that.
Tiger Woods is finally getting some badly-needed help in getting his shit together.
He is “stepping away from golf” to address his obvious problem (obvious to everyone but himself) with drugging and driving.
Good and sad.
Good, because it is exactly the right thing to do.
Sad, because it took his financial people pointing out the harmful effects of public opinion to his economic profile to finally serve as the instrument for change.
I hope it sticks.
Whatever his motivation, I am happy for him, and I hope he comes back stronger than ever.
America loves a good comeback story.
Bill W. and Candy Lightner, we are eternally grateful.
Stay well.
