| TRUMP: How can we dump him from office? |
Me,
feeling the need to be a complete smart-aleck, responded by saying such talk
amounted to a coup d’ tat and was un-American. Although I then added in full
sincerity the part I really believe – that we’re stuck with the buffoon in the
post of president and commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces and that we’re
going to have to suffer a bit.
THAT
IS OUR penalty for picking to be our president the rube who thinks all his
money buys him sophistication and knowledge. We, the people, picked him, and
now we’re going to pay for our moment of vacuousness.
Even
though we had an election in which 54 percent of people who voted chose someone
other than Trump, the rules under which our elections operate allowed Donald’s
46 percent support to be sufficient to give him an Electoral College majority.
And
as various polls show, those who were among the 46 percent are largely
satisfied – mainly because they enjoy the thought that Trump’s presence in the
political post so offends the people they disagree with.
Considering
that those same individuals are the ones who gave Republican interests their
current control over Congress, there’s just no way that we get any serious
effort toward impeachment.
THE
PEOPLE WHO are in control would likely find themselves on the wrong end of the
conservative right’s retribution if they were to do anything to harm Donald
Trump. As for those who think their sense of shame would become too intense;
well, that’s nonsense talk.

| What's worse? Trump thinks this is still real? Or worth defending? |
So
for us in the real majority, we’re going to likely have to endure the nonsense
of moments such as Trump’s public withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement,
where he said he did it to support people like those who live in Pittsburgh,
rather than Paris or any other foreign place.
Of
course, the mayor of Pittsburgh quickly came out and publicly criticized the
president for undermining a measure that would go a long way toward making the
Pennsylvania city a cleaner- and more-pleasant place to live.

| GRIFFIN: Too absurd to take seriously |
It’s
not like Trump is the kind of guy who gets too wrapped up in comprehending the
details of his actions – his real quarrel over the environmental agreement most
likely is a bad meal he once had while at a French restaurant somewhere in
Manhattan.
So
what should we expect in the way in expressing opposition to this Age of Trump
that we’re now in?
There
are the protests such as the one scheduled for Saturday outside the Dirksen and
Kluczynski federal complex in Chicago – along with various other cities across
the nation. This particular event is going to focus on Trump and Russia and the
notion that the president is in an unhealthy collusion with that nation.
WHICH
WILL GIVE an outlet to express the frustrations of those of us ashamed to live
in a nation with a sizable batch of knuckleheads who had no problem with the
image of former President Barack Obama facing a lynch mob but now are grossly
offended at the latest nonsensical ramblings and images of comedian Kathy Griffin.
For
the key to comprehending Trump’s actions is to realize he’s not fully aware of
the details of his trash-talk, which enables him to spew such nonsense. It
often may be based on the stereotypes of the past – such as his Pittsburgh
comment.

| CAPONE: Does Trump think he's still real? |
It
makes me wonder if something similar is happening every time Trump engages in
trash talk of Chicago and its crime rate. Perhaps he thinks Al Capone is still
on the loose in the Second City and needs to be reigned in?
Which
probably has Trump wondering why that damned G-man, Eliot Ness, isn’t responding
to any of his phone calls to order up a federal raid or two on “Scarface’s”
South Side operations! Or maybe he's so confused he thinks he's really calling actor Kevin Costner?!?
