We are, once again, being led into a tangle of distractions away from the catastrophe that is the Trump administration. Millions of Americans came out on the streets across the country to protest the very idea that the United States should be run by autocracy.
Nonetheless, the attempt to divert focus to the journey round the moon and the live movie script that is the rescue of a downed US Airforce serviceman, is ongoing. It is a continuation of the comic book approach to governance that consumes Trump, Hegseth and other sycophants. What is going on is far from a game. Other influential figures have no hesitation in condemning the violence. The newly seated Archbishop of Canterbury and the Pope in Rome have made their views quite clear. Would that the political leaders of all European countries, and other members of the United Nations, condemn the United States, Israel and Russia in no uncertain terms, for their illegal and criminal actions in Middle Europe and the Middle East. Netanyahu has already been indicted, butTrump and his entire Cabinet should be facing the same scrutiny by the International Criminal Court.
The latest moment of braggadocio from Trump and Hegseth “We got him”, costing over a billion dollars, quite apart from the two billion a day, is a confusion. Whilst it is laudable that such an effort should made to extract a fellow serviceman from harms way, he should not have been put in that position in the first place. Heroic acts are really distractions from the corruption that engulfs the entire Trump administration. One must not let the Hollywood style theatrics divert from the condemnation and law enforcement required to bring this venality and dishonesty to book.
Here a clip from the Rachel Maddow show which gives an overall of what is going on at present. Well worth a look and listen.
