Trump is Drunk with Power

Trump is Drunk with Power

— David Eugene Perry

The whole speech that Trump gave today at the GOP House Retreat is worth watching in horror.  (watch the link at the end of this post). Trump doesn’t drink but he’s drunk with power. Lord Acton was right: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Maduro and Chavismo destroyed Venezuela — we know from firsthand experience. However, stunningly successful military extraction aside (credit to the US military) the chaos and lack of a coherent plan for Venezuela leaves me nauseated. Oh, and of course the White House is now making serious noises about “taking” Greenland — a NATO ally. 

And the rotten cherry on the top: a new official White House webpage reframing January 6th as the fault of Nancy Pelosi and the Capitol Hill police.

We truly are living through perilous times, and evidently NOTHING can be done. I shudder to think what the state of our country — our world — will be by the time this administration, this REGIME, slinks off into history.
