Despite all the news stories that are starting to dwell on how much trouble the Idiot's campaign is in, and how he's going to be 'taken to the woodshed' in November, it's way too soon to assume anything....positive or negative. It's going to be a long downhill slide into election day, and the entire country will be holding its collective breath in anticipation of the results.
But, here's the thing: he hasn't pulled back from his scorched earth agenda....not one little bit. He's determined to do as much damage as possible on his way out. Every single day, it seems, he comes up with another thing he can do via 'executive order' to hurt the vulnerable, to destroy the environment, and to give more charity to the oligarchs who need it less than anybody on the planet. There is no regulation that is safe. We can take some small solace from recent SCOTUS decisions that haven't gone Donny-boy's way, but that is a few rain drops and we're dealing with a wild-fire.
The Idiot v.1's latest strategy to ensure his re-election is to try to just push on past the entire pandemic. That's right. He is pretending that it's over and done with so we can just move on to restoring the boom economy that was his best and last chance to sell the American people on the great wisdom of keeping his wonderful leadership in the White House. Because little Donny is a deeply disturbed and damaged person, he cannot feel either empathy or compassion. It's enlightening to read the list of 'symptoms' for narcissistic personality disorder on the Mayo Clinic website. No surprise, V.1 has 'em all. Go right down the list and you will find yourself nodding, "Yep,....uh, yep....yep." And, he has been identified by many, many psychiatrists and psychologists...most of them pre-eminent in the field...as having not just narcissistic personality disorder, but the worst variation of it: malignant narcissism. Based on his observable behaviors, ol' Donny boy is about as dysfunctional as a narcissist can be.
So, in obeisance to his illness(s), the Idiot is pushing every button, flipping every switch and pulling every lever that he sees, in order to give his re-election the best chance of succeeding. Pretending the pandemic is over and haranguing the country to 'move on' to re-opening the vastly damaged economy is priority ONE....which would be no problem at all, except for the fact that the pandemic is not only NOT OVER, but is getting worse each day, especially in the states that re-opened as early as they wanted to, ignoring the advice of all the medical experts. They not only re-opened, they ditched all manner of practices designed to keep the coronavirus from spreading, indeed from running out of control and turning into a full-blown cataclysm.
Well, V.1 cannot have such a minor thing as a pandemic get in the way of his political ambition, hell no. So, he is now working as hard as he ever works....which, to be honest, isn't all that hard...to discredit the science-based advice that is coming from the top medical epidemiologists, i.e. the people whose life work is to understand how epidemics work, and how they become pandemics, and how pandemics can turn into a national and even a global nightmare.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is the expert that most Americans...or at least those whose brains have not gone dead watching the freak show on Fox....have turned to as a trusted source of knowledge and expert opinion on what is really happening. At times, he's had the courage to directly disagree with the bullshit coming from the Idiot. And, it IS bullshit. He stands there, in the White House driveway, as he's headed out to play another round of golf and spouts complete lies to the press. When confronted by reporters, he just gets in a huff and walks away...after he spends some energy berating the reporter who was stupid enough to ask such a dumb question. His specialty seems to be personal attacks on female reporters. This need to attack anybody who doesn't kowtow to him certainly fits his psychological profile, but it's hard to watch a bully at his worst. I will continue to wait patiently for the day and a courageous reporter who stands up and says, "You know what, Mr. President? You are a liar and the worlds biggest asshole! Fuck off." And, walks away.
Any hour now I expect to see the news announcing that Dr. Fauci is 'out', joining a very long list of distinguished and not so distinguished individuals who have also been fired by the Idiot or quit once they realized how severely dysfunctional he is.
My hope is that Dr. Fauci will retire from his position as the nation's leading epidemiologist and continue his efforts to get the truth about this rotten situation to the American public. He surely can retire with at least a decent set of circumstances. He has a long and distinguished career behind him and I just cannot imagine that he really needs his position with the government at this point in his life. Americans...at least those of us who see who Anthony Fauci really is and have come to trust him....really need a person like him, with a great depth of expertise and the good character of a person who knows there is a critical value in the Truth.
In order to make life and death decisions...which is, sadly, what it really comes down to in these circumstances....all of us, but especially parents of school kids trying to decide if it's safe to return their kids to school, and adult children who must decide what is safe for their elderly parents, simply cannot make such crucial decisions without sound information about the risks and pitfalls of this strange and terrible situation.
The Idiot is wholly transparent about the damage he's inflicting on various segments of American society. It's not a mystery that has to be uncovered or solved. He's an insane asshole who is holding a dangerous amount of power and is using it at every opportunity to inflict more damage and pain. And, I am holding onto hope that enough people will realize just how evil he is and vote his sorry ass out in November.
And, in the meantime, I am really hoping that Dr. Anthony Fauci will not back away from the trust we have given him. He's a decent person and a good soul...and we need his calm guidance as we try to get through this 'Valley of the Shadow of Death".
