Yes, we are indeed about to find out.
If the week since the inauguration is predictive of the coming months and years, one has to expect that Trump’s agenda, whose only true beneficiary is the president himself, will soon render everything this country formerly stood for completely void–certainly anything that formerly addressed the welfare of the common person.
Needless to say, we brought this on ourselves. Through some process invisible to people like you and me, Trump managed to make the felony indictments associated with his attempting to overthrow the U.S. government, inciting an insurrection, and stealing classified documents — all simply disappear.
We want to know how precisely any of this could have happened. Merrick Garland couldn’t have done a better job? We had a justice system. How could it have simply disappeared?
I’m ready to live in a country with zero hateful morons, if that counts.
As shown here, people have an infinite variety of ways to express their loathing of Trump.
My maternal grandfather was born in southeastern Pennsylvania in 1903 and told me when I was a boy that in the 1920s, times were so good that saloon owners would offer a free lunch, consisting of bread, cheese, and cold cuts. “Sure, they were hoping you’d buy a glass of beer, but they really didn’t mind if you didn’t and simply scarfed down a free sandwich.”
He went on to tell me that nowadays, there’s a popular slogan: There’s no such thing as a free lunch, “but believe me, there was at the time.”
From today’s perspective of greed and selfishness, this whole story sounds like a fairy tale. Corporations and the congresspeople they own want one thing: to suck the life out of us.
