My father was six years old then.

My mom would've been born about three weeks later.
ReplyDeleteMy parents were born 9 years after that photo.
DeleteI think my father-in-law was a baby and my mother-in-law would be born three years later.
Why, those dastardly Iranians![Click] Universal health care? How dare they!

ReplyDeleteIn 1917 my father was 15 and my mother 13. She was working in the cotton fields every spring and fall. An effective union would have been great! (Both were union members later in life. As was I, for a few years.)
ReplyDeleteNot that this is exactly news, but seeing it in black and white is still a bit of a shock.

ReplyDeleteA big chunk from the article: "White House aides talk in whispers about Trump’s temper tantrums that have become routine. He unleashes strings of obscenities, threatens to fire everyone and too often issues more ominous threats that include violence.
“He yells at people, saying he will ‘kick their ass’ or even kill them,” says one, who said she fears for her safety if her name is used. “I think our president is insane!”
A media report that questions one of Trump’s actions can bring on a shouting attack against anyone nearby. Trump, she says, reduces staff members to tears and says some have quit because they can no longer stand being around him.
Secret Service agents joke that they should use the label “Madman” to identify Trump in radio conversations. Others joke about jumping in front of the president to “take a bullet” to protect him. “I might be taking a bullet fired from a fellow agent.”
Trump, they say, threatens to fire all of his secret service detail and replace them with “bodyguards I know and trust.”
That causes the agents to shake their heads because Trump has, in the past, hired personal guards with violent criminal records.
“The president has no sense of duty, not understanding of what it takes to be the leader of a nation,” says a former aide. “To him, the only things that matter are serving his ego and fattening his wallet.”
Marine general John Kelly, brought in to try to bring the chaotic White House under control and who has been publicly humiliated by Trump in front of other staff members, says he remembers fondly his days as a Jarhead grunt in battle.
That, he says, “was better than working for Trump.”

So, why hasn't anybody impeached the bastard?
DeleteNote: the above really ought to be in all caps, that's how frustrated I am.
I figure it is because the Republican Party has decayed so since Nixon's day. In fact, it seems well on its way back to primordial ooze. Impeachment isn't appropriate for a mental defective, but it would certainly do in a pinch. I understand that the English generally regret the solution used for Charles I, and our Constitution doesn't allow for it.

What does fit the situation is for Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment.
DeleteI, for one, am encouraged to read what Susan wrote. That situation cannot be sustained. It's just a matter of time until DT implodes or explodes in such a public way that his mental instability cannot be denied any longer. Maybe the day we're waiting for is when Mueller speaks. Anyone else wonder if Mueller is just waiting for Congress to return and settle in, before bringing the news to the fore? Hope so.
I am likewise encouraged; the denouement augurs to be sooner rather than later, and quite possibly limited in scope. Thank you, Susan.

I was moved to use the term "mental defective" by this[Click] column, which I have linked to before. "He Can't Even Fake It."

Evidently, madman or not, it still takes politicians of honor to carry out removing him. There aren't many left.
