Evidently Sean Spicer couldn’t hack the job as Press
Secretary at the White House. Where he will end up in the trump administration
is anyone’s guess. They can sugar coat it as a promotion to White House
Communications Director, but even that job doesn’t direct, and sure doesn’t
encompass communications – between or among anyone.
His replacement – albeit – unannounced, is Susan Huckabee
Sanders. Not sure she is related to the other well known southern huckabee, but
they seem of the same stripe. Daughter perhaps? They seem to share the same gene pool
of dis-communication and assertion. One wonders what their diet was growing up?
What causes such misplacement of reality as is their penchant?
Sanders’ rant Tuesday at a normal White House press
briefing went on and on about how the entire press corps is suspect as to
reporting facts when in reality it is the White House dispensing non fact that
has muddled things up royally. Think about the twisted lies that trump has been
snarled in. Think about the lies he has started via Tweet. Think about the fake
Time news magazine cover he has duplicated and posted in his properties, mostly
his golf clubs. Just think about that.
He foists onto the American stage of public opinion what he
wants you and I to believe. But when checking the facts – as the press is
supposed to do – he comes up wanting every time. Every time.
And then, of course, his minions under his employ –
correction, under OUR employ – ape every misstatement of his as fact and/or
policy. The opposite, of course, is true. So who is calling facts facts and
lies lies? Hmmmmm?
The rant ought not to be coming from the White House. It
ought to be coming from the people and the press. We do not accept nonsense as
government or policy. That truth is well out by now.
When a fake person assumes the mantle of the President, it
does not make him the president. All the trappings are his own because that is
what he is used to and what he has bought for himself throughout his lifetime.
He is not the royal leader of our nation. Nor was he elected to that position.
He was, by colossal error, elected to the Presidency of the USA . That will
be corrected in time. For now we have
the Constitution and the other protocols, policies, processes, legal
institutions, and history to govern in his stead.
He has tied himself up in his own conspiracies and lies and
now finds himself writhing on the floor of the Oval Office unable to accomplish
anything. Just as well. What he could conjure up as ‘accomplishment’ boggles
the mind of normal people.
One has to laugh and shake heads about what history will say
about this era of American history. It will not be about him; no, it will be
about how We the People survived this terrible anomaly of governance.
Time for Term Limits for all of Congress; time for social
security and Medicare, Medicaid for all of Congress in place of their sweet pot
of benefits; time for removal of the Electoral College; and time for a
Constitutional Amendment to remove corporations from citizenship.
The folly of present day is more than a laughing matter. It
is serious business caused by ignorance and laziness within the public. Shame
on that. Shame on them.
For the rest of us?
Resist!
