Trump Impeachment – Sh*t just got real
Wow.
More than any other Political President before him, Donald Trump has understood, harnessed and manipulated cultural political resentment in a manner that has tapped into deep seated economic anxieties caused by free market globalisation.
Trump just made the world far more dangerous.
The White House ceremony (it would be wrong to call it a press conference) in which the President gracelessly accepted the Iranian Government’s de-escalation of the international crisis which he, himself, had unleashed by authorising Soleimani’s assassination, was a vivid illustration of the new reality in world affairs.
That’s right, this entire murderous extrajudicial fiasco was caused by a failed Jedi mind trick the Military establishment use to direct the President’s actions.
If the threshold for extrajudicial assassination by drone strike is the loss of American life, then when is Trump declaring war on the pharmaceutical industry who pimp opioids, the fast food junkies who clog arteries & the polluters warming the planet?
The Trump Impeachment is a sad and torturous affair made more petty by Republican tribalism and Democratic impotence.
The Impeachment hearings have, in the main, delivered to us little that we do not already know. But some of those things which we already know, are interesting – if only due to the blatancy with which they have been communicated herein.
I have no doubt whatsoever that Trump is so craven, so devoid of ethics, so narcissistic in his belief of absolute power that he most certainly did demand dirt on his political opponent before handing over military aid to the Ukraine.
I am equally certain that this entire impeachment will not only fail but could inadvertently cement him a 2020 victory.
I have zero time for a death cult like ISIS, but I can’t help but feel this entire fiasco isn’t anyone else’s fault other than America’s to begin with.
