by NoahAre we tired of "so much winning" yet?I'll tell you what I'm also tired of: I'm tired of eople saying that the catastrophic and total failure of the Trump presidency is due only to incompetence. Sure, Trump is a mental case but that does not mean he is incompetent. Quite the opposite in his case. You don't achieve all three items listen in tonight's meme in just one term of office if you are merely incompetent. It takes deliberate malice aforethought. One of the three things mentioned? Yes. Two, maybe. But all three, plus the other things we need not mention here? That takes deliberate planning. If Trump was merely incompetent, those around him would either prevent his actions or prevent his actions from having the effect he obviously desires. Obviously, they were competently handpicked by Trump to be there for his reasons; reasons he no doubt calls "My Plan."So, the only remaining questions I care about today are: One: Are Trump's insane whims and actions allowed to gain fruition due to an administration of people he placed around himself that is now, if it wasn't before, a hypnotised and brainwashed cult ala Jim Jones or Charles Manson, or, Two: Is he a Manchurian President under the control of others, either inside, outside. Or, Three: Both. If it's number two, it's likely done through blackmail of some sort and, as we all know, there's a strong case for Russian involvement and there always will be no matter how long people try to bury it. The sooner the full truth comes out the better. If the truth stays buried, it will be a metastasizing cancer. Regardless, Trump's words and his actions, such as his deliberate inflaming of the current situation in our city streets and what can only be his deliberate enabling the spread of the coronavirus with all of the cascading destruction and needless loss of life that that has wrought are the definite, proof-positive indicators that he is a total psychopath. Not just anyone could do what Trump has done to this country. It takes a man who has zero empathy of any kind. He is driven by hate and a nihilistic desire for mayhem, as are those who make up the cult around him in the White House. Outside the White House, those who support Trump are drinking a gradual dose of cyanide that will eventually kill them.And, still, no one in Washington who could do anything about this lifts a finger. In fact, at least half of them lend aid, encouragement, and assistance. Some in Congress thought a mild process of investigation and impeachment would be enough. They tread softly with equally mild words and political diplomacy. Not everyone in Washington is part of the Trump cult but those that aren't are grossly ineffectual and grossly quiet, so afraid of offending anyone that they have made themselves an offense to us all.Those in Washington who spiritually and physically travel with Trump are obviously essentially as insane as their Dear Leader and are bought, blackmailed, and/or paid for in some manner. They are agents of a cult of chaos. Who else they are agents for is up for speculation, make that limited speculation. Start by pointing to Wall Street, Moscow, Beijing, or Pyongyang. Do that in any order you like. Here at home, start with Lloyd Bankfein of Goldman Sachs and banksters like J.P Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon and Well Fargo's Charles W. Scharf. Include the tool of the Russian oligarchs Moscow Mitch and the other lapdog $enators loyal to him and a rabid dog pack of congresscretins like Devin Nunes. Include the Trump Cabinet. Trace what Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has done with the stimulus money in her control.Then there's National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien who glibly turns a blind eye to our nation's problem with racism and racists themselves while he blames "far left agitators" for the current protests while covering for the administration's white supremacist friends. To him and his colleagues in the White House, Antifa people are terrorists but not the White Nationalists in our streets, whether they are in uniform and wearing a badge or not. O'Brien, like most of his kind, is a fine example, a very fine example, of someone who belongs in a padded cell instead of the White House. In fact, turn Trump's new Bunker Bedroom into a padded cell and throw the whole White House staff in there. Can you imagine being locked in a room with O'Brien, Stephen Miller, Kellyanne, and that new ditz brain Kayleigh McEnany? I can almost see Pence in the corner staring catatonically off into a world only he knows.I can't end this post without a special mention of Secretary Of Defense Mark Esper and Chairman Of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff General Mark Miller. Both men marched along with their Dear Leader right through Lafayette Park to St. John's Church with Trump on Monday. They might as well have been locked arm in arm with him. Their action was an endorsement of their boss treading on the Constitution and us all by violently dispersing the crowd of peaceful protesters and clergy. In so doing, he pointedly politicized our military and sanctioned its use against peaceful American protesters right on American soil. Both must be very proud. Esper has since made a quarter-hearted hint that maybe he was an asshole, but hey, Esper, we heard you the first time! Milley on the other hand had even dressed up in his combat fatigues for the march across the park. Big man, General, big man. In doing so, Milley involved the military in an overt political act and made himself a complete disgrace to his alma mater, West Point. No apology has come but who would expect such a thing from such a man? A Japanese General who did the same would commit the ritual suicide of Hari-Kari. I'd send Milley a set of knives, but Milley has made it plain that he lacks the character to use them for their proper purpose. Instead, he would no doubt stab a protester. Instead of people like Esper and Milley, we used to have true patriots running the Pentagon; true patriots regardless of their personal political affiliation. Esper and Milley have willfully abdicated their responsibilities and thrown any ounce of patriotism they may have once had into the garbage.Any sane and observant person has always seen what Trump is, what he wants to be, and what he wants to turn America into but he has a lot of very sick helpers. To assemble a team like that does take a measure of competence. They see their job as to catapult the sadism.
