'Donnie Blues'

The Dissembler In Chief

In the end Donald Trump got impeached and somewhat more amazingly, partisan politics ensured nothing happened to him. It's the nadir of democracy in a country that likes to boast it has the oldest one going and likes to impose democracy on others forcibly.

At this point in time we just have to accept the fact that maybe American Democracy has changed forever in such a way as to let the unaccountable just do whatever the hell they like without ever being held to any account.

It's enough to make anybody blue so I thought hey, that's a good enough reason to write about Donald Trump's presidency. I did draw some inspiration from Frank Zappa who wrote a tune called 'Dickie's Such An Asshole' during the height of the Watergate Scandal. It seemed appropriate to blast a dishonest President, and let's face it, Frank Zappa's not around to do it for us.

In some ays Watergate didn't mean a whole lot in of itself, given that nothing from the Watergate compares to the Russian electorate fiddling scandal. Watergate was just the teaser for something worse to come.

Instead of being a full-stop, it paved the way for a succession of ever devolving Republican Presidencies, punctuated by Democrat Presidents who were too lenient with the oligarchs of America. The succession of Ford, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, Trump is pretty abysmal, and enough to destroy an eloquent and respected America. Each outhouse Republicans were less eloquent than the previous, less logical, less coherent than their predecessors. It got to the point we wondered if things could possibly get any worse than George W Bush, but ... hey, look, they elected Donald Trump.

Amazing, really.
