President Trump Has a Whole Different Definition of Treason From the Rest of Us


The latest news is that President Trump is not only reminding people of how “great the response was” for Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, but now he’s saying that it was the democrats that inflated the death numbers from sixteen to nearly three thousand all to make the president look bad.  In some ways Trump reminds me of Michelle.  They both have a highly immature, simplistic way of relating emotionally.  One must question the higher mental capacity of both.  He makes issues of things that only serve as distractions of what he wisely should be talking a bout and that is the prospering economy.  Trump doesn’t know a good thing when he sees it.  Also Trump appears not to know the proper definition of Treason.  He doesn’t see capitulating to the Russian Mafia and Putin’s machinations as treason, but he sees personal disloyalty to himself as treason.  He sees his own person as “the country”.  He has no concept of government of the consenting voters by a mandate to do this or that.  All he knows is that he’s in for four years and he does whatever his addled mind can congure up in that period.  Thom Hartman was saying that Trump may foment a war with Iran just to get his poll numbers us.  People speak of a “gathering storm” where Trump is concerned.  But I fear it’s not the gathering storm around Trump’s time in office, but rather a gathering storm signaling the death of democracy.   I wish Muller would get off the dime and come out with his final report and be quick about it.  Because time is ticking away.  And people are getting lethargic considering “this” we are expeeriancing now as “the new normal”.   This is the same way the people under Nazi Germany regarded the eroding of rights in that country as “the new normal”.  Each step leads to a slightly worse one.  I don’t know if the American people still have the will to rally and vote to impeach President Trump by voting democratic in the next election.  It doesn’t matter which democrat they vote for- - just as long as the democrats have a majority to vote out articles of impeachments.  Now we hear Stormy Daniels may be coming out with her own book.  She’ll probably have someone write it for her.  I haven’t seen sales numbers on Woodward’s book or read any post release reviews of it.

.  The problem with Days of our lives is that it’s a show now in continual crisis.  Ever since John and Marlena’s aborted wedding it’s been one unmitigated disaster following hard on the heels of the last.  It’s Samantha and Susan and Christine and Marlena’s shooting and Paul falling through the window.  Now they say Paul may never walk again.  Daughter Bell has a document notorized by Marlena that she doesn’t want any heroic life preserving measures to be done.  This document is as good as a death authorization and John and Eric think Belle should just forget it exists, which sounds to me like a pretty good idea. 

They’ve been talking about Hurricane Florence for the past few days and they’ve been saying it would arrive Friday morning at eight AM.  Now they are saying that the curse has turned southward a little into Charleston, South Carolina.  They have a mobile truck saying that the evacuation was mandentory.  Other officials have been calling it a monster storm and not to be messed with.  The storm was downgraded from a Cat 4 to a Cat 3. That was yesterday.  Now it's been downgraded again to a category two with only 115 mph mile winds, which is still pretty strong.  But it's the water inundation people have to fear with over thirty inches of rain scheduled in the next week or so.  This is the biggest storm to hit the area since Hurricane Hazel in 1954.  

Today it was Eye Witness news and then the live ABC network news.  We all know how bad the storm is and the “outer bands” of it are already affecting the outer islands of North Carolina.  They will be inundated with water.  We had a submarine style turkey sandwich.  Of course it was just a thin piece of turkey and some lettuce and cheese.  There was no mustard or vinegar or bell pepper, olives, tomatoes, onions or anything else.  A guy came around with some mustard.  It improved the flavor and it settled my stomach, actually.  We had amberosia for dessert.  There were also cooked carrots.  Dorthey said that it was too early to have dinner and she’s saving hers and has vinegar for it to punch up the flavor.  I still haven’t had those box donuts from last night.  I’ve been waiting for my stomach to settle down.  It’s time to post something.  I know I don’t have anybody reading my blog and maybe that’s affected my readership numbers but maybe if I came up with something interesting, people would.
