June 14, 2018: No Earthly Clue, Chorus of Calumny, Into the Sewer

“In the Complex international relations that—like it or not—keep the world from blowing itself up every afternoon, Trump has just proved he has no earthly clue what the fuck he is doing”
----Keith Olbermann (1)

Olbermann made this observation in December 2016 when the then president-in-waiting was mucking up the fragile relationships between Taiwan, China and the United States. It was thought, at the time, that the self-absorbed, bullying little twit posturing as America's savior would somehow grow into the job. Instead the job has only reinforced his grandiose, messianic personality bringing to the fore dysfunctional behaviors that should long ago have been addressed in the schoolyard.

Former Vice President Joe Biden elicited nearly universal rebuke for a remark made to the effect that if he were a younger man he would, out of a deep sense of public duty, administer the beating that tRUMP should have received all those years ago upon the school playground. Indeed, it is fast becoming a national calamity that someone, early in his life, didn't beat the shit out of him. His parents tried, sending him off to a military school, but to no avail. For military schools do not administer punishment quixotically. No, instead tRUMP should have been subject to the same capricious and arbitrary floggings by a classmate that he so gleefully administers to less fortunate souls; so that he would, perhaps, have learned that there is always someone stronger, always someone more intelligent, always someone richer than you. Perhaps, and this is a long shot, just perhaps, he might have experienced some measure of humility.

I think that was the gist of the Vice-President's remarks which were soon drown in a chorus of calumny, as liberals recoiled in horror at such speech, demurring that it is unbecoming high office; forgetting, as an old friend once reminded me: “if you want to kill the rats, you've got to climb down into the sewer”.

This week's debacle, first in Quebec and then in Singapore, clearly demonstrate the high cost of ignorance in high places; the cost of grandiosity; the cost of self-absorbtion; the cost of mendacity. Disgustus is the 'little red rooster', crowing the praises of our adversaries. Disgustus is the 'Russian Agent', the 'Useful Idiot', doing—for whatever corrupt reasons—their bidding. This is what happens when a boy is not taught limits, when he grows to think he is above the law and the norms. This is what happens when someone doesn't beat the shit out of the playground bully. Putin knew exactly what he was doing when he backed tRUMP, and everything the sniveling little Quisling did this week demonstrates it.

“An Br'er Putin, he jus' laugh and laugh”

Impeach and Imprison.
