How I hope they won't have to scale it--but if they do, that they'll make it. Maybe seventy years from now Lifetime Network will make films about brave Mexican families running zig-zag, eluding the border guards trying to pepper them with bullets, or digging deep tunnels from Tijuana to San Diego. Yes, the way Germans make movies about East Berliners digging tunnels to freedom in the West before the wall fell. Vox has covered a history of walls and their failures to contain--in fact, their provocation to inspire us to climb them--but why would Trump choose this, or any, moment to listen? The man who wants the wall has no boundaries himself. He'll say he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and still get voted into office. He'll say the many dreadful things he has said, and will continue, to say. And if the wall isn't built? But somehow, with him, that means it's built to cacaphony, and therefore never built, and therefore built forever. With apologies to King Arthur, Trump's photographic negative. Nancy Pelosi will keep saying "No," and Trump will keep saying, "Over my dead body." Which would be a considerable climb. I wake at midnight wondering less what historians will say about these Trumpesque times, and more whether historians will exist after Trump finally dies. Even he must die, eventually. Right? But it's so hard to believe that he will ever deign to do so.
Donald trump is such a nightmare! Just like we all knew he would be, I still can’t wrap my head around the nightmare that this presidency is. I comfort myself with the fact he’s getting older everyday and that he does not take care of himself. It does make me feel better to know also that’s there are so many people that feel the same way we do!
ReplyDeleteYes . . . how I wish the Republicans felt the same way we do. Thanks for writing!
ReplyDeleteYou should see the latest from the Toddler with Twitter. He's gleeful that Jeff Bezos is getting divorced, calls him "Jeff Bozo" and says his Amazon Washington Post is a far worse newspaper than the National Enquirer (first to report on his relationship with "another woman"). Mein gott. How did we get this embarrassing, rude, cruel man in the highest office? It's unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, looks like the Rampant Redhead will soon be charged with helping Putin destabilize the U.S. during the election.
Honestly, I think the U.S. president really has a mental disorder that needs serious treatment. The one good thing is that I can still say what I think -- freedom of speech still exists for those of us who deplore him -- so maybe democracy isn't done yet.
I think he has a mental disorder that needs serious impeachment!
