Quote #1161 - #ParadeofHorribles
18 Nov, 2024
PARADE OF HORRIBLES
"It is impossible to tell if Mr. Trump is announcing appointments or trolling his enemies."
Peggy Noonan
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
"They are foot soldiers in a power grab that, if it succeeds, would weaken the institutional guardrails that limit the president’s powers and concentrate more authority in Trump's hands."
Doyle McManus
LOS ANGELES TIMES
"And just like that Donald Trump broke the federal government.... With his Cabinet picks Donald Trump is causing a civil-service exodus that may hobble federal infrastructure for generations."
Franklin Foer
THE ATLANTIC
And so it begins.
Before he even takes office.
The only question now is how effective he will be at taking control, destroying the federal government and the many services it provides to the people of this country, and then subjugating and/or destroying the people of this country.
Our media and social media that inform us of things at lightning speed will not help us to deal with this cavalcade, only help us (as long as it does) to communicate with each other and create systems of information and support.
Please understand,
I am strong, and resilient,
and I will resist.
I will keep writing, creating, teaching,
putting ideas out there
and responding to whatever is thrown at us.
I will continue to explore heart, mind, body,
spirit and soul,
in the complexity of existence
that itself is challenging to
any reductionist status quo.
I will never stop.
But today I need to say this:
We are in for a dark period;
we may not know for awhile just how dark but
much darker than his first term.
And just in case you were thinking you'll just hold your breath until it's over,
the dark period that ended with the Renaissance lasted 900 years.
