Bleach, Paper Towels, Lies, and Reruns
The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing. Why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn? Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane? This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!
We do not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong ideas and opinions, and I think we’ll state those opinions now.
I don’t know why anyone is surprised by Trump’s behavior at this point. The media, as disingenuous as it is, seems to be quite gullible when it comes to Trump. I don’t know if they’re serious or not, but many often wonder if Trump is going to suddenly become presidential. I don’t understand how that can be. This guy acted the way he has always acted — talk off the cuff like some guy next door who looks at the news. In many ways, that’s exactly what he is because he is known to spend hours looking at TV coverage of himself. He doesn’t like to read or have any interest in finding out credible information. He doesn’t have the discipline to wait until he has facts. He doesn’t care about facts. Everything is set to his agenda. He has operated like this, not only before this term but in his first term and his whole life.
This is the same person who called for the death penalty for the Central Park Five when he didn’t have any of the facts. Lied that the Obama administration was spying on him. This is the same person who struggled to show empathy for the people of Puerto Rico and threw them paper towels. Let over one million people perish on his watch during the pandemic.
He knows what he’s doing. All this talk about DEI is just code words for Black and brown. Mostly Black. It was the same thing with the terminology: woke, critical theory, affirmative action.
He’s not that ingenious. In fact, he’s quite repetitive and boring in his own way. What makes him a unique figure in history is that he has managed to convince enough people that he’s some sort of evil genius — enough to get back into the White House or even get into it in the first place.
What he’s willing to do is stomach the disdain that much of the world has for him in the delusion that he is somehow brilliant. There were people marching for what he’s talking about — backlash against Black progress — for almost 60 years before he came to the national political stage.
As with the people of Puerto Rico, now he’s throwing the rest of us paper towels. And, as when he told us to swallow bleach during the pandemic, how many of us will perish these four years because of him?
I really think Americans need to individually have conversations with themselves and the people around them and ask: Is this really how we want America to be? A laughingstock to the world. A dumpster fire. Represented by a moron.
For heaven’s sake, it’s just embarrassing.
Now, there are a lot of people who will say that Trump is not a moron, and in many ways, he excels at certain things — like galling lying and manipulation of people’s emotions and fears — the willingness to go where no president or politician who is serious has gone before. But even with that, just a little bit of thinking shows us that the reason he is willing to do this is because, honestly, he has never had to pay the consequences. Others have paid dearly, like his good buddy Giuliani, who, when he was a prosecutor in New York, spent decades not talking to Trump because of Trump’s association with unsavory and outright fraudulent and lawless figures. Then he drank the Kool-Aid, and look at him now — I mean, for goodness’ sake, you go from being Mayor of New York City and head of the SDNY to falling off your chair, losing all your possessions, drunkenness, etc.
But he is emblematic of what happens when you get too close to Trump. I mean, the sun is bright, and it commands attention, but if you get too close to it, what happens? You get burned to a crisp. And the sun just keeps on shining like nothing happened — promising light, warmth, safety from the cold darkness and nothingness of interstellar space.
Next fool!
