A Happening

It is kind of thrilling to see Senator Martin Heinrich coming to the aid of a GOP Senator who leaned out a window and shouted, "I'm mad as hell and I am not going to take this anymore."

That would be Senator Flake from Arizona who said he wouldn't run for reelection essentially  because of the disgrace of the cheeto in the White House.  Heinrich and Flake became friends across the aisle.  They both were featured in a survival type reality TV show in which they were dumped on an Island and told to survive.  I watched it and they barely did so.  But they worked together.

Things are in such chaos in DC that one wonders if the GOP is on opioids en masse.  They sit by while the cheeto fiddles and burns away American International stature.  How sad.

But, where does the real blame belong on our long march into oblivion?  I would have to say it lies with corporate America.  Period.  It is their money that is making this horrible situation possible.  They are nothing less than the Harvey Weinsteins and Bill O'Reillys of the world.  And I can only hope they will get theirs.

There's a plus side to not having a competent leader in charge of NATO and of the many other global Capitalist institutions that have over a dozen wars going on around the world. Ask those people fortunate to still be living because the current leader of the vultures who've been disemboweling their countries one after another is a buffoon. The "world leadership" that we're losing is simply the loss to our ego, our self concept as top dog, but the world wins. Power is getting spread around a little and that's good. Don't be frightened by it. Geez, think what it's been like growing up in every other country especially the ones small enough that the US flicks them off the map like flies.
