It's the fact (HE would call it fake news) that Trump is so inarticulate. That's what bothers me. Our elected leaders can only do so much but what they SHOULD do (at the very least) is exhibit grace and dignity and equanimity when speaking on our collectively dumbassed behalfs. Somebody once said that the people get the government they deserve and if that's the case... Well, I guess we deserve Trump. He IS the hive-minded American, I guess. According to the will-of-the-people voter polls, anyway. Of course that scares the living shit outta me, but... Whadda my gonna do about it? Short of assassination, that is. And I'm not willing (even as my will to participate waxes and wanes) go there.
At any rate, politics are... Al Gore's climate crisis crusade just got a huge bump. But at the expense of one of our hugest cities. Houston, Texas. For him to come out now and say: I TOLD YOU SO would seem pretty petty. Even if he's ostensibly righteous and only trying to help. Such is the divided political climate in this country. Consider, if you will, the suffering the SOUTH has had to endure --from hurricanes, tornadoes, and racist violence-- and you gotta wonder... Is GOD really a Republican? Is JESUS truly on the side of evangelical Christianity?
I'm being a tasteless, atheistic, northern-exposed, heathen when I say these things, of course, but... If you think about it, Biblical floods/tragedies seem to only afflict those who carry/thump Bibles. Period.

I ain't the kind who says I Told You so. Even when I'm telling you so. But then again... Maybe I'm just trying to have it both ways. Sitting here (in Seattle) in relative comfort as I am. Perhaps the bestest thing to do is shut the fuck up.
