Donald Trump and Nero Roman Emperor

-


It's easier to destroy than to build. Nero, the Roman Emperor burned Rome and blamed it on Christians. Donald Trump, a former U.S. President is also stoking a fire to burn the country, he purports to love. Is reconstruction after the 2024 presidential election, possible?

Japan has more that 440 active volcanoes, so they are used to cleaning up after an eruption. There’s ash everywhere. Americans can approach them for reconstruction tips after the November presidential election, but I don’t think Japan can help them. You see, volcanoes are good old nature whereas, the volcano in America is a man, just one man. Donald Trump.

A volcano can lie dormant for 250 years and erupt in 2024. In the U.S.A. the human volcano is already activated its scorching lava, throwing most of it at the judiciary. That country has three government branches: legislative, executive and judiciary. All of them have tiles in place glued together with grout, necessary to uphold the structure the U.S. Constitution created. The human volcano’s vociferous slander of men and women in the legal profession is bound to filter down to his disciples, and America doesn’t want to live like other countries where there’s a loud knock on the door at dawn, and opponents are never seen again.

After November 2024, how does the judiciary restore the people’s belief in the legal system, that Donald Trump and his cohorts in Genius Georgia were not intentionally treated with kid gloves? It’s because of the system itself, that allows certain procedures to ensure fair trials and equal treatment before the law. You cannot throw out the baby with the bath water, because Donald Trump abuses those procedures.

The most challenging part of the post-November reconstruction will be reconciling Americans to each other. Donald Trump will leave a ton of volcanic ash on rooftops but the world sees it as America, not blue or red states, just America.

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
