Unraveling the Menace

 


He's no longer in the White House but, like Napoleon on Elba, Donald Trump remains a menace to the Republican Party, to America and potentially even to the world.

Trump has retreated to his redoubt, Mar-a-Lardo, his Floridian Berghof, from which he pumps up the Trumpian faction of the GOP and attacks the shrinking conservative Republican opposition. In this Trump is aided by his loyalists, Lindsey Graham, Devin Nunes, Stephen Miller and others including his personal Rasputin and fellow sneak thief, the man who refuses to die, freshly pardoned Steve Bannon.

It is said that a civil war is underway that pits Trump's radical right faction against the slightly less radical right, old school conservatives. Judging from news reports, the Trump faction is more than holding its own. Like Herpes, Trump is not going away.

This is lunacy writ large. Bannon has been floating ideas for a Trump comeback. One scheme is for Trump to run for the House in the mid-terms with a view to ousting the majority Democrats. This would cement the Trump faction's control of the GOP and, as House majority leader, Trump would then issue articles of impeachment against president Joe Biden. Now that probably sounds crazy to you but these are crazy people and they're hellbent on seizing the Reichstag any way they possibly can.

Which is why today's decision by the US Supreme Court rejecting Trump's bid to keep his tax returns from the prying eyes of the Manhattan District Attorney's office and Grand Jury is genuinely welcome news. Trump has been fighting a desperate rearguard action for years to prevent those prosecutors from peeking behind the emerald curtain.

At first the Manhattan D.A. said it wanted to delve into hush money payments made by former Trump fixer, Michael Cohen, to pornstar Stormy Daniels, and former mistress, ex-playboy playmate Karen McDougal. This is a criminal investigation that has blossomed from sleaze into possible money laundering, insurance fraud and tax evasion. 

A criminal prosecution, while justified on its own merits, could be the final nail in Trump's political coffin. There is a good reason, probably several good reasons, why Trump has gone to such extraordinary lengths to keep investigators at bay. When the details emerge expect to see more than a few Russian names in the indictment.

'Down and out' has a unique meaning when it comes to Trump. Those that want him out can only hope prosecutors put him down.

Up in Smoke. 300 Sq. Mi. of Amazon Rainforest Lost Every Day.

Image
  The Amazon rainforest is disappearing at what should be an alarming rate. 312 sq. mi. or 808 sq. kms. every day. Over the past 30 years humans have destroyed a patch of the Amazon equal in area to the states of Texas and New Mexico . The Amazon – historically a great carbon absorber, since trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen – now releases more carbon than it stores, which adds to, rather helps to reduce, our global climate crisis. Deforestation rates decreased slightly from 2004 to 2012. But since then, they’re back on the rise, especially in the past couple of years, since Jair Bolsonaro became president of Brazil. In 2018, as Bolsonaro campaigned as a patriotic man of the people, scientists predicted that once the Amazon lost more than 25% of its tree cover, it would become a drier ecosystem, all because deforestation changes weather patterns (due to how trees respire), which in turn reduces rainfall. Furthermore, as the forest becomes fragmented, areas surrounded...

The Cognoscenti Syndrome

  There is a group of people I think of as the Cognoscenti, people who are well educated, very informed and of rapidly diminishing relevance. Their ranks include writers such as Chris Hedges and Glen Greenwald. These are people who have honed an almost Puritanical value system, readily finding fault in any direction. They are scathing in their attacks on Republicans and Democrats alike to the point where they become nihilists. They don't endorse. They prescribe. This is where they fail. They're unable to advocate for anything that might resonate with the public whose interests they argue are being trammeled. Donald Trump was bad but Joe Biden is scarcely better. This is where their elitism comes in.  74 million may have voted for Trump but, hey, they didn't know any better. The mob that stormed the Capitol. They were just victims of the system venting their frustrations. All the racism, bigotry, xenophobia, misogyny, white nationalism - inevitable side effects of their oppr...

Who Asks "Why?"

Every time there's a conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, all we hear is 'why?'  Why, as in, whose fault is this? It's easier to affix blame if you can truncate the event. Pick a convenient start date, something recent. In this case we'll make it either the Israeli eviction of Arabs from Jerusalem or the scuffle that took place outside the mosque in response. If those don't work, let's go for Hamas launching unguided rockets into Israel. That's even better because it tags Hamas with the blame. The nice thing about this approach is you can just keep using it. It goes on and on, just as it has for the past half-century since the '67 war. You can even date this whole mess to the beginning of the occupation of the Palestinian territories. The Israelis are said to have called these periodic wars, "mowing the lawn." The idea is that, every now and then, you have to take these Arabs to the woodshed. And then you keep your powder dry unt...
