For me, the crystallization of this perilous past year is the juxtaposition of Pete Hegseth literally powdering his nose (as reported by The New York Times), before meeting with Ukrainian leadership in Europe earlier this year - after taking it upon himself to slow Pentagon military aid and intelligence sharing to the embattled and brave war-torn nation.
He repeated his dopey Frog & Scorpion story more than a few times while campaigning. Why, I'm not sure. But we should have realized he was the scorpion from the beginning.
Thank you, Noel for another wonderfully written, extremely intelligent message. I trust and believe every word you wrote, and am sitting here crying over something that never should have happened. First, and foremost, he should have NEVER been allowed to run for office in the first place, and for damn sure not allowed the second time. I am so sad over this. If I could fix this myself, I absolutely would.
Noel, searing. Keep telling the truth. Will GOP Senators ever break from this utterly insane Administration pretty much bent on destroying democracy on a global scale? How can they live with themselves? We've seen defections on the House side.
We essentially live in a necrocracy now- where Dictator Dump is reanimated and shuffled out around noon after smudging gender affirming makeup on most of his face/having his bleached hair TCBY'd on top of his head- to then drawstring his mothballed inanities and loathings to the press. His cabinet and enablers will keep up with the smash and grab joyride for as long as they can, while we/the world are stuck with a terrorist, buccaneer and war criminal (immune from prosecution) as president. 2025's perfect capstone was the tableau of Don Jr...after aardvarking 10 thunderbolts of Medellin Marching powder/funking out to Vanilla Ice and the Ninja Turtles at Mar-a-Largo for NYE. All the corruption, cruelty and incompetence aside..these people are such utterly tacky humiliations. A Ralph Steadman sketch of dizzying human awfulness, all loitering in a clogged Palm Beach urinal.
