Non avere paura; il nostro destino non può essere tolto da noi; è un regalo.
Dante

treachery.
And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleansing? (Trump)
The Levels of American Stupidity are
the followers
the marketers and admen who must jump in to clarify for the followers (Don't drink bleach - Burger King tweet)
the lawyers who must be consulted
the people in Power who support dear Leader
dear Leader
I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you, just to see what would happen. (Trump)
Do not be afraid; our fate cannot be taken from us; it is a gift.
Dante
50,000 people have died in the United States, most alone without loved ones.
Yes.

There are now some quite obvious flaws in the executive branch system of our government.
ReplyDeleteApparently tRump lives in Dante's nine circles of hell and he's dragging everyone along with him. His time will come. Americans will vote him out. Perhaps good will come from all of this.
ReplyDeleteBrava.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Inferno when we studied it in high school. (John Ciardi translation!) Trump definitely belongs in the bottom circle, anchored in the ice next to Satan.
ReplyDeleteWhat Steve said! Amen.

Beautiful beautiful and more beautiful, Elizabeth--your words, your perceptions. Please keep writing poetry. We need all of your words, always and especially now. Much love to you from Verna (not Sheila)
ReplyDeleteHe has dragged us involuntarily into the 9 Circles of Hell! And perhaps I'm going to Hell for saying this, but perhaps nobody should have done disclaimers because any of his Cult of Personality, who are Adults but so ignorant as to take his Great Idea seriously, and inject or ingest cleaning products because their Dear Leader, the Stable Genius, made his outrageous stream of consciousness evident by saying that out loud on National TV at a Pandemic sideshow Briefing... mebbe he inadvertently did us a Public Service without even realizing it?
ReplyDeleteI have read that the WH is cutting back on "Press Briefings" after this latest failure. I hope so. We do not need to hear and see that BS, EVER. The one piece of good news is that his ratings are down due to those inept appearances. I haven't watched them, but inevitably hear about them on late night television.
ReplyDeletehow can one human embody every one of the circles of hell? dear leader manages.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anything good is coming out of this. Maybe my kids were figure out how to save some money towards the next disaster. Maybe some of us will move in together. As for the bigger picture, I see nothing hopeful. All said, I'm doing well. Sigh.
