Our President, no doubt with the assistance of White House resident white nationalist Stephen Miller, has started telling people that Democrats, particularly those who describe themselves as democratic socialists, are communists. According to Trump, if these communists take charge of our government, it will be the end of the world as we know it.

The media tends to give Donald Trump way too much credit.
Let’s start with the underlying facts that the print and electronic media don’t talk about, perhaps because they’re trying too hard to be respectful. Donald Trump is not particularly bright.

I’m worried. The lower the President’s standing in the polls, the more hardcore his initiatives. Donald Trump is becoming increasingly desperate and reckless as his polling collapses and a potential Democratic takeover of the House and maybe the Senate too approaches. Increasingly desperate and reckless, but to do what exactly? Given the authority his position commands and radical loyalty of his dwindling base, maybe we should be thinking in terms of letting him down easily lest he do something unimaginably stupid.

I used to think so. I used to believe… No, it was more definite than that. …I used to be certain that, if a free press covered everything that happens, a reasonably well-educated electorate that was reading and watching it all would draw its own conclusions and do the smart and right thing.
And then the basically good people of these United States elected Donald J. Trump President. Twice.

According to various sources, President Trump has taken $5 million from funds allocated by Congress for our national parks to gild selected bronze statues of horses in the District with real gold leaf. He’s not just painting them gold color, you know, with exterior grade Behr paint from Home Depot which sells, top of the line, for a breathtaking $70 a gallon. No. He’s covering them with real 24 carat gold.

Those of us who follow the news are well aware that President Trump has made us less safe. He’s done so primarily by gross mis-deployment of our military assets, unnecessary depletion of ordinance and by trashing relationships with our allies, by virtue of his generally incompetent leadership and by lying so frequently that, for all practical purposes, you can’t believe anything he says. To our friends and enemies alike around the world, the United States is no longer invincible.

Israel is the only country in the Middle East that has, but denies having, nuclear weapons. Ninety such weapons is the current estimate that it can deliver via planes and missiles.
The problem is that Israel doesn’t trust Iran nor does the government of Iran trust Israel.

His “1776” ($1.776 billion) revolutionary slush fund isn’t for compensating those militant followers who stormed the Capitol to overturn the results of a legitimate election – and were, so he aserts, subsequently mistreated by the Biden Department of Justice. No.
What he’s doing is funding their movement, the sloppy militia which will, he hopes, attack again at his pleasure, to do his bidding – only to be better at it this time by virtue of the payouts he, his lacky, Acting Attorney General Blanche and his panel will approve.
He is aiding and abetting the enemies of our democracy, in plain view and using our money to pay for it. Heaven forbid he should use his own money and get caught doing it without the cover of Presidential immunity.

I have a new rule that determines for whom I would be willing to vote to be President of the United States. To qualify for my vote, the candidate – male or female, it doesn’t matter, but let’s assume it’s a male for the sake of discussion – would have to be someone whom I would be want to date my daughter.

I’m sure you’ve noticed. We have a President of the United States who is desperately trying to sustain his delusion of invincibility. He is dangerous and recklessly hurtful. Clinically, he’s a sociopath suffering from malignant narcissism. In simple, layman’s terms, he is as dumb as he is nuts. Complicating matters, he is a person in the process of being overwhelmed by the inevitability of aging and by adverse, anxiety-ridden situations he has caused, but cannot control. He needs help, professional help, but is instead surrounded by enablers fearful of his rath and/or who are taking advantage of him and his authority. For now, he’s stealing and leaving his mark as much and as often as possible while he can.

It’s called “Mutually Assured Destruction” or “MAD” for short. It’s the principle that, if our enemy has them, we need to have them too.

Full disclosure, I’m a registered Democrat, the son of Eisenhower/McCain Republicans, who is socially liberal, but fiscally conservative. Culturally, given the religion into which I was born, I am a member of a small, but historically prominent minority that is over-represented in Congress by a multiple of three. As for that over-representation, gerrymandering has had nothing to do with it.
