David Letterman on #BLOTUS
I have never been a big fan of David Letterman. But, that said, he nailed it with this comment.
We have never seen a more corrupt leader in the White House. We have never, at least in my lifetime, seen a president that has demonstrated such incompetence, ignorance and blatant disregard for the Constitution. We have never seen a president that consistently lies, attacks the media, or creates such discord and divisiveness.
And this is on top of all of us realizing the absolute strangle hold that Putin has on the Lord of the Lies. This presidency will go down as the worst in our history, It cannot end soon enough. And, as Letterman stated, it’s time to stand up and demand he be held accountable. Enough is enough. Mueller cannot move fast enough.
no, Donald. a lie is a lie is a lie
One thing we all know, that the #BLOTUS is not a philosopher. If he could have a conversation with Plato it would certainly be a Comedy Central Special. But long before the conclusion of the conversation I imagine Plato would be tearing his toga and ordering the same drink given to his mentor, Socrates. And, without a doubt, he would ask for a double.
power, propaganda, and the loss of freedom
I recently allowed myself the pleasure of rereading Orwell’s 1984. I am so glad I did since we are now seeing it unfold right before us. We are actually entering into the virtual reality of living in the 1984 world.
Animal Farm is next on my reread list. Like 1984, I know I will enjoy the book again. And also like 1984, I know I am going to see lessons that are reflected in the world in which we now find ourselves.
I want to reread some of these classics while I still have the freedom to do so. The way things are going that might not be possible in the near future.
BLOTUS has been in office less than a full week, and the fourth estate is already “the opposition” and “the enemy.” First silence the press. Then silence free speech. Lie, lie, lie and keep on repeating the lies until even the absurd begins to sound reasonable.
And in the end, do whatever is necessary to eliminate dissent.
