January 12, 2018: Unforeseen Circumstance, Modern Caligula, Death Knell of the Republic


The founders could foresee a possible Tiberius, a possible Augustus, a possible Napoleon. They could foresee the development of faction. They did not foresee the organization of political parties not to mention the emergence of a modern Caligula, our very own Caesar Disgustus.

As chronicled in these columns the cancer that is modern conservatism fueled as it is by the corresponding dominance of the “Generation of Swine”, has been eating away first at the economic base of this country and now upon its hallowed social and political institutions. This cancer has culminated with the rise of one Donald J. tRUMP, extreme narcissist and quintessential 'boomer'. Our very own Caesar Disgustus representing, perhaps, the death knell of the republic.

As we speak a motion is being introduced into the House of Representatives calling for a vote to censure the 'president' for conduct unbecoming. This in the wake of a remark made two days ago referring to 'shithole' countries like Haiti and Africa and complaining that we are accepting too many immigrants from these countries and bemoaning the lack of white folks from places like Norway coming to our shores.

A new book having been released by a beat-writer named Wolff, has chronicled the madness inside the tRUMP White House. Portraying this 'president' as a juvenile, self-absorbed, indeed narcissistic twit, about whom virtually no one who works for him holds any respect, operatives inside this madhouse went about putting Disgustus on television broadcasting the first hour of a meeting with congressional leaders about fixing DACA (the Obama era program to address the needs of the so-called 'dreamers') and the larger immigration issue. Here was Disgustus, arms folded over his chest, the haughty condescending countenance that has now become a permanent fixture upon his face, trying his level best to appear informed, rational and in control. Instead the country watched transfixed the 'president' pogo back and forth agreeing with virtually everything that was said, finally ending with the flat statement that he would sign whatever was sent to his desk. This reminded me of a remark that Huey Long made about the man who would succeed him as governor of Louisiana and over whom Long had absolute control. “Hell”, remarked Long, “he'll sign a leaf if it blows in the window and lands on his desk”. So it is with Caesar Disgustus. He will act upon the advice of whomever speaks to him last; and will sign into law whatever the billionaires and their paid prostitutes put on his desk.

Every day brings a new outrage. Every day the depths of the cesspool are sounded as Disgustus goes off on another of his twit-storms, making another offensive remark, launching another assault upon our institutions. When he isn't insulting black athletes, picking fights with Gold Star families of wounded and dead servicemen and women, hurling insults at congressional leaders, senators, judges and agency heads, endorsing a candidate for the United States Senate convincingly accused of violating an underage girl, we find him undermining the very rule of law by engaging in a prolonged and concerted effort to obstruct justice and working to vilify and discredit those charged with investigating his conduct. And now this.

Several African nations are demanding an apology. Disgustus does not apologize, this insecure fragile little man's ego will not allow it, especially to those that do not look like him. Every day in every way the cancer that is our Caesar Disgustus eats away at the republic, destroying our standing in the world, unraveling our longest-standing alliances. Indeed, it was yesterday announced, Caesar Disgustus was dis-invited to London, canceling a planned state visit to meet with our closest ally. These are the depths to which we have fallen and I fear we are nowhere near sounding the bottom.

You've got to hand it to Vladimir Putin. Putin knows tRUMP well. Putin knew that he would get quite a return on his investments. Putin understands that Caesar Disgustus is a very useful idiot indeed.

Meanwhile a motion is introduced to censure this man for “conduct unbecoming”, that is, For Being Ye Public Ass”.

Impeach and Imprison.
