When does enough become ENOUGH?

This morning’s painful perusal of the daily dispatches from the world outside my keep provides yet more proof of the prescience of Nancy Pelosi ‘s pronouncement that “all paths led to trump.”

As the contradictory messages keep coming out, as expert medical advice keeps being ignored, the lies, false promises, unobserved guidelines, unmet deadlines and outlandish recommendations continuing to emanate from trumply’s puny pig’s ass of a puss have failed to diminish. Despite his deceitful attempts to rewrite history, however, there’s no way even trump can completely obscure news of the rapidly rising body count—the true measure of the “success” he so proudly if childishly proclaims.

Following the ongoing saga of the president’s veering trajectory is like watching a diapered monarch running rampant minus a regent to provide him guidance. Our situation is not that different and begs the question “where have the adults gone?” Is there no one left with the standing, fortitude and good sense to send this toddling miscreant to his room?

The deceit of the man-child is staggering! It’s one thing to tell lies; its quite another to tell lies that result in getting people killed. If it’s wrong to encourage someone to drink a poisonous substance that leads to their death, is it any more right, really, to do what trump is doing by encouraging states to reopen in defiance of his own governments’ guidelines to wait until certain benchmarks have first been achieved?

Of course, we know only too well by now that when his plans go south, as all such dreams inevitably do, trumply will assume no responsibility for their failure. It’s been clear for some time now to anyone breathing who’s not yet succumbed to his stupefying spell that the man is 15 ounces short of a pound, yet people still hold him in deference (or pretend to), as if he were a reasonable adult possessed of the abilities requisite to actually perform the role he so embarrassingly pretends to pull off.

The news media, in their insistence their broadcasts represent “balanced” reporting, continue to treat his views as if they were equivalent in substance to those of his opponents instead of the unreasoned and deranged diatribes of the madman he’s devolved into.

Far too many congressional representatives and other government officials continue to act as if their chief executive can provide rational guidance and decision-making when in fact it is painfully obvious he cannot.

I continue to find it beyond inexplicable that no one appears willing to engage the only mechanism in view short of an electoral defeat to unseat this miserable menace plaguing our airways, our minds, our liberties and our very lives. While the election may bring about the change in direction this nation sorely needs, the prospect of the damages that could be wrought upon the country in the next two weeks by trump’s sociopathic governance, let alone the next 7 months, is frightening to contemplate.

It’s time to call for the invocation of the 25^th Amendment!
