The Baboon in the Ruins
A sparkling essay from Rebecca Solnit,a message maybe not of hope but a gallop through what is happening in America and that maybe things are about to change, not necessarily for the better but a fundamental underground current of the large wave that is holding up all those many, many people who have stepped forward and protected their neighbours from the cruelty of the ICE gangs.
So let us put forward that little hope as the flame of defiance against a crooked, misogynist creature who considered kingship as his crowning glory but was in fact mocked by the greatest crowds probably ever seen in America.
The mock king definitely had no clothes on and should be removed from office immediately but then those standing in the wing are definitely just as scary. I find it interesting that the demolishment of the East wing of the White House could be seen as an act of a baby throwing his rattle out of the pram and punishing the American people for not recognising his need to become a king.
Please, please America just get rid of him.
I am quite pleased to know that there is still some democratic robustness in the US, going against #47 'decrees'. If he isn't yet, he will certainly become a lame duck president next year, but no doubt still mouthing off in his demented manner. History will list Piggy as the worst president ever, one who brought America to its knees.
ReplyDeleteYes he will be out soon, his illness makes it possible. Not time to rejoice yet though but the people of America who stood up to his regime should be proud of themselves.
DeleteThat article gives me hope, Thelma. I think the country has learned a lot from all of the terrible things that this administration has done. Hopefully, we will come back stronger and kinder.
ReplyDeleteGlad of that Ellen. It came through my emails this morning and one could feel the sense of anticipation in it's writing.
ReplyDeleteOne can only hope (and vote and protest) that our country wises up. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is good, voting and protesting. Keep it up.
DeleteI agree and would say more, but need another dose of steroids.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nuisance but glad you are still able to comment Tasker.
ReplyDeleteI read something that made me so very hopeful. Greene is leaving , but it is being hinted that there will be other Republicans who plan to leave as well, with the goal being to remove Mike Johnson as speaker now instead of waiting toil the midterms.. It is a discouraging time, to be sure. I think the tide is turning but we (and the world) are still in a bad spot..
ReplyDeleteDo you know Debby I have to write a blog to upgrade myself from anon!. But yes Greene leaving is a surprise, it seems the Epstein files did it. With two other females they stood behind the victims of this scandal.
