re: #176 Sir John Barron

I’ve been absorbed the past week with cat care. My oldest feline went OTRB yesterday. I’d had him for almost 16 years, and he may have been as old as 20. He’d been declining for some time, but the end was still a little more sudden and more confusing than I would have preferred. But it’s done and he’s at rest now.

And The Orange Fuhrer used this time to issue a Papal Bull regarding NFL football games and the proper posture of “respect” he believes should be granted to the flag during the playing of the national anthem.

At this pace I’m not sure how the country gets through the next three years.

I was just thinking about the fear that Trump is a divide and conquer type. But it seems like it isn’t just about dividing major groups. He seems to have fractured the entire American society into individual tiny pieces that are now fighting each other for a smaller piece of the pie.

The flag/anthem thing is a great example. When friends and family split up and fight over it all it makes each person beging to feel like they are on their own.

Not only will it be tough to get through Trump Times, it is going to be even harder to gather all the pieces and get them back together into some kind of a cohesive unity.

Goddamn Donald J. Trump.
