Going Low

THAT PRESIDENT RUMP,a self acknowledged sexual predator (Access Hollywood), an impeached traitor and criminal many times over, retains nearly forty percent support of the American people is a testament to the tragically low morality and intellect of many if not most American conservatives and evangelicals. But justice, as MLK said, is slow but inexorable, and events are not moving in a favorable direction for Trump and his MAGA mob. The worsening epidemic is directly attributable to Trump's disastrous leadership; he called the pandemic a "hoax", then recommend that people drink bleach, then claimed that warm weather would end the problem, then eliminated federal funding for testing, among other crimes -  the recent nationwide protests over racism and police brutality, and the nation's belief that Trump has only made the racial divide in America worse, cannot but drive undecided, independent voters away from Trump and the Republican party this fall. John Bolton's book is teh coup de grace of a long list of former Trump insiders who ran out of patience and decided to come clean and "spill the beans" concerning trump's incompetence, dishonesty, and criminality. Into the fray once again enters the Supreme Court, rulingin favor of Obama's DACA, reducing to ruins Trump's anti-immigration campaign plank, reducing his xenophobic followers to foot stomping, fist banging barbarians, their anger and disappointment reflecting their own vile low morality, their contempt for the "welcome the stranger" message of Jesus, their hollow, phony pseudo version Christian faith. The innocent children of illegal immigrants can saty, at least for now, so says the court. And although this court rendering is likely only to encourage Trump to rant on twitter and lock children in cages, again, Chief justice John Roberts has demonstrated again that packing the court with right wing ideologues results not in right wing renderings, but, at least occasionally, in compassionate and wise justice.
