Support For Trump The Cowboy

-


Republicans who want a Trump clone to occupy the lofty position of Speaker of the House, and those that want him as the 2024 presidential candidate have their reasons. I just haven’t come across them, so I will hazard a guess.

The most obvious one is complete adoration for what he stands for, lawlessness. The second reason might be the kind of America, they think he will create for the next four years, if he runs and wins. We have an idea about the DNA of that second reason. The obliteration of systems the Biden Administration put in place will be high on the agenda. Rewind to 2016 when he took over from former U.S. President Barack Obama, whom he constantly called a fake American.

The destruction of the Obama legacy was his priority when he ascended the White House throne. He campaigned on the repeal of what is known as Obamacare. It was his first target as President but it boomeranged. Reality materialized. Congressmen and congresswomen did not want to alienate home town voters that benefit from Obamacare. Trump’s attempt died a natural death, but 2023 is different. Legally, he is the most wanted man in America. Remember old cowboy films and those posters, WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE?

Trump supporters might be thinking that his resurrection will result in the following:

1. They think they will use 6 January 2021 violence to over-turn state and federal elections, ransack property and get away with it, just like Trump.

2. They think they will break international financial and accounting laws  and get away with it, just like Trump and his New York businesses.

3. They think they will make the internet the new American courts and jurors, just like Trump.

4. They think they will nullify and emasculate American judges and prosecutors as Democratic Party puppets, and get away with it.

5. They think they will use racist and sexist language to discredit legal practitioners like Judge Chutkan and Attorney-Generals Letitia James and Fani Willis.

If this is a figment of my imagination, what exactly do Republicans want for America, beyond 2024?

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
