The president of the United States has pardoned a man who defied a court order to cease harassing, detaining, and jailing people of foreign descent without due cause and sufficient suspicion.
He had been convicted of this crime, and was to be sentenced in early October.
The person on the porch said, “Because he is such a buffoonish character, the temptation is to laugh at his follies and make fun of him. But he is a dangerous and insidious individual who is on course to subvert and sabotage not only the values of the country but the very existence of the United States.”
The man who said this was on his way out of the country to “attend to family matters.”
It becomes harder and harder to not see this behavior of the president as TV Reality Show nonsense and see it, rather, as the worst attack against the United States yet. The suspicion is that bombs will explode, bullets will fly, citizens will be imprisoned, rights, freedoms, and protections will be suspended in short order.
Ironically, militias that once protested their fear that government would usurp civilian rights are now cheering the government’s potential usurpation of rights because “their” man is leading the coup d’etat.
Congress is also bewildered. Their party owns the three branches of government and has the power to do anything -- except that their president has his own agenda which ignores them and foments division and denigration on them.
What nobody seems to admit is that we are at a critical juncture with a rogue dangerous egoistic demagogue whose unpredictability and grandiosity plants conflict and discord in minds and hearts of both citizenry and international community.
Religious apocalyptic believers feel this is the beginning of the end.
Nihilist racists and mordant right wing groups sense the final battle.
Anarchists do too.
As do Republicans and Democrats.
Even Boy Scouts in America cheer the lewd opportunistic exhortations of the leering leader selling wealth and sex cookies to them.
Curiously, no one, really, no one seems to care. Not care in the sense of having the slightest idea how to counter such inevitable bullying and lording over.
Everyone seems to feel its time. Time for democracy’s demise. Time for unbridled and unprincipled power to ascend a new and higher throne than mere presidency. A new ledger-ship of ruling family.
The confusion and consternation of thoughtful people, media types, and non-boy scouts are only outliers to the lemming culture racing to the president’s towering and ludicrous dystopia.
“How Great Thou Art” is a redirected hymn the mute and vociferous alike offer to the bland and banal triumphant trumpeting smirking man on center stage orchestrating something unseen before yet obscenely slouching forward.
