Stop watching the pot. It’ll boil. But not until you look away.
That’s the latest from
trump about the COVID thing. To be a little more precise, the White House
is telling us to “learn to live with it.” But that smacks of a sexual assault
viewpoint that predates “MeToo” by decades.
You won’t read it here.
But the ideas of “lying there and taking…” and “learn to live with” are giant
middle fingers toward the entire country. If trump is trying to lose the
election, he’s not done yet. But this is a giant step on that path.
What’s the matter with many of the rest of us?
What trump was looking
for was a way to boost the economy at the expense of lives. That might help
keep his core supporters in check and enthused. It doesn’t look like it’s
going to work.
When your answer to
something is akin to telling a woman to let the rapist have his way, even the
worst male chauvinist will eventually get the message.
The “president” has no
friends in the halls of power, just fear-crazed cuckoos. They will turn on him
at the moment he seems too weak to win. That moment is already on the front
burner, though a watched pot never boils. While his robotic supporters still
feast on his ravings, the people who actually make things happen are starting
to turn their backs. That’s part sensible and part survivalist.
And if there’s anything
more important to a politician than winning the next election, it has yet to be
discovered.
NOTES FROM ALL OVER:
(SEATTLE) -- Amazon
reports a “difficulty” in delivering Mary trump’s book. Is the difficulty
someone’s putting a figurative gun to some head at the publisher or at
Amazon? Is it headed for yet another court/cat fight?
(SACRAMENTO) -- The
McClatchy newspaper company is nearing its Come to Jesus moment and will soon
announce which shyster will own what’s been a family business since the
California Gold Rush. This space puts much of the blame on formerly absentee
chairman, Kevin McClatchy who recently awoke from his Rip Van Winkle slumber
and moved from Sleepy Hollow to Sacramento to help decide which version of
Hannibal Lecter gets to eat his company.
(ARMONKISTAN, NY) -- Our
Northern Westchester correspondent reports a flock of new COVID cases following
an in-person graduation ceremony at a regional high school. County officials
say the infection has flattened.
