In the realm of you couldn’t make it up. We are a the Palm Beach Airport and I see this woman about 150 feet away pushing her bag in a wheelchair. She lifted the rope, got into the handicapped line, took her bag off the wheelchair, got into the chair, and waited for a Jet Blue attendant to push her on to the flight. Don’t strain thinking about any of this , there will be pictures. It was the worst line getting ready to board we had ever seen. The Jet Blue staff was trying to clear the line and everytime he said, “we need this area cleared”, people who were blocking the way just looked at him, as though he was speaking Cantonese, and never moved an inch. There was one elderly couple who tried to board early. They were sent to the back of the line, which they didn’t do. They got out of line and stood on the side. Despite their pleas for mercy, they were rebuffed —over and over again. We boarded before the issues were resolved. MAYBE they got on, and maybe they didn’t.
Back to the flight. We are sitting at the airport prepare to be inconvenienced by the Trump visit to what has become the southern White House. He goes nearly every weekend to play golf and host a head of State. Here’s a question. Is a foreign head of state happy to be hosted at Query-Lago (changed the name because it is a question) or are they insulted not to hosted as an official and t the White House? This is a real question for which I don’t have an answer.
Many people have suggested that Drump (because that’s the way he makes me feel) should be impeached. This doesn’t “really, really” help. Even if he is impeached he gets to stay in office. Remember Bill Clinton was impeached. So that is not a solution. Other people have suggested we should just “lock him up”, with his friend Flynn. At night hey could sing each other lullabies about what they could have done to eliminate the government if they hadn’t been arrested. It almost sounds obscene — well, right at this moment in history, it is obscene.
So what to do? You remember the film ,”The Caine Mutiny”. If not go see it on Netflix. It is about a naval captain who is totally insane, so the crew mutinies. That’s what need so happen. We have a lunatic at the helm and he needs to be “locked up”, “locked away”, taken away from the ship of state. There is no problem finding reasons why this should be done. We could start with all the lies. We could move to governing by tweets. We can go on to discuss his inability to understand foreign policy which might lead to a war with North Korea or Syria, the choice is yours. Or we might discuss abuse of human rights, the freedom of the press, immigrants, or the 36% approval rating. And on and on and on….
But who takes the first step toward this mutiny? By all rights it should be the media, who report the fake news. Or it should be the Congress, who know that this lunatic doesn’t know what he’s doing. In the end, it will have to be the people who are suffering the decisions he has made.
David always says that the anchors on the local news are simply playing at being journalists. In the same sentence we might say that Drump is merely playing at being President. Never forget “All the worlds a stage, and the people merely players”. Someone bring down the curtain. We're just sayin'....Iris
for clarity's sake, it was the woman on the left
“And it’s going to be really really good. You’ll see”. This seems to be Trumps favorite thing to say — it doesn’t matter the issue. Everything will be "really really good” Speaking of good, Melania now has an official White House portrait that looks like a Glamour Magazine cover. Never mind, there’s so much else to talk about why should I bother picking on Melania. Back to the flight.
