Relapsing

ABC NEWS said it perfectly: "Here we go again". Trump's gang is starting the same old B.S. all over again, this time about Kamala Harris. It seems that because both her parents were immigrants, that she may  not have been born properly, and may therefore not be an American citizen, and may be ineligible to be vice president. This, of course, is complete nonsense. Harris was born in 1964, in Oakland, verified. Do we now anticipate that Trump and his gangster associates and supporters will exhume the "birther" conspiracy attack, in to which they subjected Barack Obam throughout his presidency? Get ready. four years, maybe eight, maybe twelve long years of hearing the same old crap from the same old crappy reprobates. You might not recall, but soon after taking office, Trump meekly,. quietly admitted that Obama had in fact been born in Hawaii, and that he, Trump, had known it all along. No apologies, no nothing, just a quiet, quick acknowledgement of reality. Maybe the Harris thing will die out soon, maybe not. Amazing, how irreparably devious, nefarious, and stupid Trump and his extreme right wing extremely piously religious his supporters are. They seem to have never learned. All of this would be nothing but laughable nonsense, if the fools, to paraphrase H.L. Mencken, were not in such deadly earnest. Donald Trump entered politics by spewing his hateful, racist nonsensical lie about Barack Obama and is now rehashing the same tied idiocy against Harris. its all obviously racially based, if indirectly so, and what makes it tragic, especially tragic, is that it starts with Trump, but reaches far beyond him, far beyond his inner circle of sycophants, and extends deep into America's politically conservative evangelical christian demographic. The very same people who most piously embrace "family values", once again, as usual, spew racial hatred in lies oft repeated. But, as we say, its par for the course. The bright side is that this stale tactic has long since run out of steam, and, like the political aspirations of those who promulgate it, is likely to go nowhere.
