Earlier this year when it became apparent that Trump's amateur cabinet was becoming detrimental to the nation's welfare, this blog began speaking out. As the damage added up, I felt compelled to call out our silent, local Washington representatives, first as compliant, then complicit with veering away from our nation's moral compass.
My conservative readership, Republican first and foremost, started accusing me of TDS, which is a poor excuse for deteriorating leadership. Partisans slowed down commenting in protest. When Mackenzie signed the Democratic petition, explanations mentioned that we're in a purple area.
We're in more than a purple area, we're in a condition red. I had posted that unless Mackenzie stood up, he wouldn't be re-elected. It is now becoming apparent that unless the Republicans forcibly act out, Trump will be using our military on personal whims. Whether they can restrain him, remains to be seen.
Do you consider me one of your conservative, Republican readers?
ReplyDeleteI certainly qualify as a long time reader.
I believe you suffer from pronounced TDS, yes, and that it clouds your analysis, profoundly.
I’m perplexed by your condition.
Yeah, I find some of Trump’s Cabinet lacking. Clearly the Biden administration had some extraordinarily marginal players, to be kind. The Obama years were largely a continuation of the Bush years. Your other reading can add their expert commentary here.
For twenty years both parties fed us misinformation, disinformation and outright lies about the situation in Afghanistan on the foreign policy front.
A calamity resulted.
I was constantly critical.
Government at the federal level has been failing the American people and both corrupt corporate political parties are largely bankrupt.
As for Trump?
He’s the most consequential POTUS in my lifetime. I, too, was born during the Truman administration.
Is the sky falling?
I think not.
