Having Fun

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER. Welcome to the USA, the world's largest fun house. President Trump, in an apparent pique of jealousy, described the appearance of Greta Thunberg on the cover of Time magazine as "ridiculous". He didn't specify why, but asserted that she would be better served going to a movie, like a normal teenager. That she is crusading to save the world from people like Donald J. Trump Donald J. Trump ascribes to anger management issues. it is he who resides in the fun house, all images grotesquely distorted, nothing as it seems. On the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, the Senate Majority leader, prepares to participate in the forthcoming impeachment trial of the distorted one. he announced on national television that it is his intent to coordinate the republican caucus with the president, for the evident purpose of meshing republican Senators with the president, to make sure thy are all on the same page, so to speak. Bear in mind that the purpose of the United States Senate in an impeachment trial is to serve as the jury. The image of a jury foreman announcing his intention of coordinating with the defendant on trial comes to mind. "since the defendant never once can be shown to have uttered the words "I intend to murder my wife", no guilt can be established. But of course the president is without guilt. Where does the term "quid pro quo" appear on any document, any telephone transcript, or any surveillance video? Nowhar, that's whar!, as congressman Davy Crockett once screamed in the House of representatives regarding some money missing from the federal treasury. Crockett was accusing Henry clay, John Quincy Adams, and Henry C. Calhoun, three of the most prominent politicians of the nineteenth century, of, well, being grifters. according to the congressional record they all glowered at him, but he didn't give a fig. To quote recording artist Joe Jackson: "I can't help but believe that I'm living a life of illusion".
