A truly great essayist.

Here's a snippet from a recent post titled "Being There in Trump's America"

So here America sits, in the middle of a US-initiated war that no one fourteen months ago thought anyone would be insane enough to launch. The American government launched this war amid a government shutdown, when crucial law enforcement and public safety departments are understaffed while the level of threat facing the country is arguably the highest it has been in twenty five years since September 11, 2001. The country is saddled with a President whose attention span is so crippled he cannot be bothered to read a briefing on his war but instead requires a meme-style video montage peppered with enough gore to spike his interest before he’ll consider ingesting any information.

After a thumbnail sketch of the movie "Being There", WTH ties it into our current insane situation with Donny Dementia...

Sound familiar? The United States is presently trapped within a Being There parallel universe. The American President has always been mentally deficient but is obviously experiencing compounding problems stemming from dementia. He has zero attention span. He requires himself to be “entertained” by any information presented to him to absorb. His universe of themes for anything he discusses is limited to tariffs, flattery of himself, denigration of anyone else who might be compared to him, grift, “deals”, lawsuits, using law enforcement for score settling and purposely destroying anything done by his black, first-term predecessor Barack Obama, out of pure racism, jealousy and spite. And this Iran war may be the cornerstone of Trump’s “erase Obama” fixation that dates back to Trump’s first term.
