Trump, Breaking Bad

THE PRESIDENT ELECT attended and spoke at one of those right wing extremist conservative pep rallies of which he and they are so terribly fond, something called "Turning Point", an annual gathering of a conservative organization. Why aren't there left wing groups and pep rallies? These things can get pretty freaky, with chanting, screaming, speaking in tongues, fainting, especially when the great demagogue himself is on hand to gin up the gang. The soon to be president again thinks that it costs too much to use the Panama Canal, that Panama is charging too much to let ships go through. Also, he wants the United States to take possesson of the Canal it built, for the most part, and to once again own and operate it, as ia did for decades before President Carter signed it over to Panama in 1977, which took effect in 1999. Panama, unsurprisingly, has already declined the offer, and expressed opposition to it. Some older folks might remember that at the time Carter made this deal with Panama, many if not most Americans were against it, against handing over the Panama Canal to Panama. It shouldn't be beyond Trump's abilities to incite the conservative portion fo the American public into once again expressing outrage over Carter's handling of the situation At that point, who knows what he would do? Also, once again Trump's desire to annex for the United States the huge island of Greenland rose to the surface. Greenland is a colony, in effect, of, of all places, Denmark, and is still partially governed from Copenhagen. Trump at one point apparently wrongly believed that the United States already owns Greenland, and still thinks it should. Trump has also indicated his belief that Canada should possilby be a fifty first state of the United States. He has never, as far as is known, expressed any similar interest in Mexico or Cuba,possibly because of hs racism,and the darker color of Mexican and Cuban skin generally. Trump won't even be president for nearly almost another month, and yet, his craziness is manifesting full bore, rearing its ugly head, as if it ever failed to rear. Before even becoming president, Trump is testing his power, asserting control over Congress, or trying to. Thirty eight Republicans defied his demand for an unlimited spending account for himself, which is a good sign. The impending Trump presidency portends to be crazy, with an unabashed Trump, unlimited by any traditional constraints of decency and protocal, surely is preparing to go all out to implement his bizarre, destructive agenda. The absolutely worst part of it, hands down, is Trump's refusal to acknowledge the reality of devastating human made climate change, and to take action against it. Instead, Trump is going to encourage climate change, by encourageing fossil fuel use. Trump's plan is suicidal for the planet and the human species, to increase climate change. His slimate insanity seems to have the support of most of his MAGA gang,many in Congress. We the remaining sane must, absolutely must stop Trump's pro fossil fuel agenda, because if enacted, it will kill us all. At the state and local level, among msot American citizens as individuals, and throughout the corporate business community, there will undoubtedly continue to be more and more action against climate change. But it isn't enough. The United States government, the USA as a nation, must lead the world in combating and reversing climate change, before its too late, which it soon will be, if it isn't already. The Trump administration and his MAGA minions, and the conservative community in general and the Republican party in partiualr must do an about face, and get on board with dealing with climate chagne, instead of denying it, before its too late, if it isn't already.
