Doing Wrong, Executively

WHILE STEVE BANNON was testifying in front of congress recently, his lawyers were texting the white House, getting an presumably following instructions. it is only reasonable to assume that these instructions came from the president, or that they came only with his approval, such are the abilities of Donald Trump as a liar, lawyer, if not liar. Basically, Trump wouldn't let Bannon answer any important questions. ostensibly, Bannon chose to allow Trump this control over his answers, even though, ostensibly, Bannon no longer works for, is controlled by Trump. Was his sudden acquiescence to Trump's wishes voluntary? Or did the president coerce Bannon? Just asking. Does Trump have negative info on Bannon, something to hold over him, whether fake news or otherwise? Was Bannon's willingness to allow Trump to control his answers voluntary? Obstructions of justice is only one of Trump's many crimes and violations of the constitution, according to many legal experts. The fact that his supporters either ignore, dismiss, or approve of Trump's behavior in increasingly alarming, as the crimes grow and multiply. The greatest crime of all is the deliberate destruction of Earth's ecosystem. the Trump administration is wholeheartedly devoted to the simultaneous denial of climate change, and increasing it, by "bringing back coal", and refusing to fight global warming. What greater crime can there be than the attempted destruction of the Earth's ecosystem, and the life is supports? Congress is forcing Bannon to answer its questions, and the whole truth seems poised to emerge. The Trump administration is built on lies, but no amount of stonewalling and obstruction of justice will save it. Trump is already extremely unpopular, and as the truth about his numerous crimes emerges and refuses to go away, the American people, the thirty five percent who already gotten fed up, will, and remove from power whatever right wing extremists are not removed through impeachment. We can only and pray that as Trump starts to go down, he doesn't start a war with North Korea, or somebody, as a distraction. All we can do is pay close attention, work to defeat his agenda, and vote him out, if he is still in power come election time. He may, or may not, be a great guy, but, he isn't fit to be president. his one year in office is conclusive proof of this. You can't blame hi for wanting to be president; that is a common illness. You can, however, blame the rest of us for giving him the chance. If only he would acknowledge and work to reverse climate change, and stop attacking people, eliminate conflicts of interests by selling his businesses, and stop lying, he'd be marginally acceptable. But, that's a lot to ask.
