WHAT HAPPENED this morning (9/5/18) has yet to be fully understood by the peoples of the world. Upon learning of President Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Iran Nuclear Deal, the temptation to simply roll one’s eyes and shake one’s head was hard to resist. Many would have recalled Trump’s decision to pull the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement and assumed his latest move was in a similar vein.
THE SPEED at which the Right is mutating is nowhere more evident than in Donald Trump’s America. One has only to examine the tensions within the American Republican Party to get some measure of its disarray. In spite of controlling all three branches of the federal government, the Republicans have never looked more fractious. Fewer and fewer on the right are convinced that politics-as-usual is any longer capable of delivering the changes they seek.
It looks like America will calm nuclear tensions on the Korean peninsula while creating a whole new conflict in Iran.
Surely Trump can’t be this stupid?
Opponents of Trump like to point to the Russian interference in the election to explain Trump winning, but I think blaming Russia for ‘hacking’ the US Election is deeply counter productive.
Could it be true?
Could Trump’s madness have spooked North Korea into cutting a peace deal?
Forty years of right-wing counter-revolution has left its mark on the Baby-Boomers. For too many of them it proved a lot easier (and much more profitable) to give up the fight for a kinder, gentler America. For those “of tender years”, the trick will be to convince their parents and grandparents that the March For Our Lives is a march for their lives too.
…the latest sackings at the Trump White House & Casino this week show Trump is now so comfortable in his ignorance that he will throw any semblance of caution to the wind and surround himself with people who flatter his ego rather than serve the Office.
The past week has shown just how unhinged Donald Trump is. Twittering away in the recesses of the night, from his little shack in Florida, this powerless man set out to speak truth to power about the Russian affair. Except… isn’t he the power now? So, then, who is he speaking to and who for?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP and his White House staff are convinced America’s “Deep State” is out to get them. They’re probably right.
There were two things that stood out for me during Trump’s State of the Union address.
