Trump, Using War As Cover

IF IT ISN'T ALREADY, it certainly should be painfully obvious that this entire thing with Iran, and lord only knows how much farther Trump and we Americans will go on pulverizing that poor hapless country, is nothing other than a distraction from the Epstein files, which allegedly arrived in Congress just a few days ago, and are available to all members. And, at least for the time being, the ploy seems to be working. But, as they say, you can run but you cannot hide. How long, after all, can this war possibly last? If it lasts longer than a few news cycles, we the people are likely to become extremely tired of it, and heavily opposed to it, as American casualties start coming in. In terms of keeping the Epstein files under cover and unavailable to the American public, the Republican party seems to be fully conspiring with Trump, if informally, to obstruct justice. The Trump administration is on a roll, in terms of naked aggression, having already attacked several countries, Venezuela and Iran among them, and one starts to wonder how much farther it will go, how much and many military hostilities Trump will unleash around the world as he struggles to upstage and obscure the Epstein files. Rumors have it that the actual files contain a good deal of highly incriminating material pertaining to Trump, damaging testimony and photographic involving underage girls and Trump's alleged sexual misconduct towards them. Trump haters are calling the president a "pedophile", which, at least technically, appears to be a false, incorrect, acccusation. The actual definition of a pedophile is a person who experiences sexual attraction to pre pubescent children. Whispers and indications hint at the possibility that Trump's behavior, arranged and enabled by Mr. Epstein, might very well extend to outrageously heinous depravity involving children. Evidently the Trump political machine has gone to and continues to go to incredible lengths to keep all the salacious, condemning actions of Trump concealed from public view, forever. And yet, it might not be enough. It might be inevitable that,even though we may never know the true depths of Trump's depravity,and probably wouldn't want to, that we will, over the next few weeks, learn enough to strongly reinforce our most unflattering appraisals of our president's moral character. Trump opponents already assume the worst about him, and since the sixty percent of America which opposes Trump tends to oppsoe him to the point of loathing and hatred, it seems almost imposssible for his opponents to need or find yet more reasons for their abject and utter contempt for what they often call "the orange menace". A noted professor of modern European history once asked the question whether love or hate has been the more powerful force in the world throughout history. He didn't hesitate to answer his own question by saying that hatred appears to indeed be the more influential force in ancient, modern, and current history. Just as humanity appears for the moment to be losing its struggle to stop destroying and start nurturing the natural environment, so too we are evidently choosing war over peace, at least for the time being, in our eternal moral struggle against violence and war. And yet, history indicates that with each passing century, our species becomes, when measured scientifically, more peaceful, and less violent. That's hard to believe, but well supported by facts. It makes us realize how far we have had to come to get where to where we are and closer to where we want to be, but also, how terribly far we still have to go.
