One of the problems with which we’re faced is how slow the masses can be when the likes of Trump move quickly.

Take Facebook. Their “news” headlines tend to be hours, sometimes days, behind the actual events. That’s because they pick their headlines based on views, not time. Just like your Facebook timeline which gets littered with what other people click upon, and not timeliness.

News junkies we here are… yet I propose it is not unreasonable to expect an American to know what their government’s top story is on the same day it happens.

Agreed. Drumpf is a water strider, a bug that runs on the top of the water because it is so light that it doesn’t break the surface tension. By the time you realize he has shit in your mouth, he’s way downstream.

I’ve been reading a lot historical fiction lately, just as a diversion from the actual reality of the horror that our Democracy has become. This includes numerous Phillipa Gregory books on the Tudors. They are well researched books and it is easy to draw a parallel between Henry VIII and Drumpf. Both were little spoiled second sons incapable of being wrong. Golden boys who became serial adulterers, and abused their power to destroy other peoples’ lives.

Interesting, ultimately inane grist for discussion, but still, interesting.
