Wilbur Ross' Longing For Akephaloi

In Praise of Saudi Arabia's Happiness Index

One wonders, if this is Ross' image of a Happy Society: No protesters, at least none with their heads still attached to their bodies.

 

Why Donald Trump Must Be Removed From Office

He makes no sense because he has no sense.

There is ample evidence that Donald Trump is a con-man, a pathological liar and a narcissist. More profoundly disturbing, however, is that he appears to be cognitively impaired (bigly). For that reason, it is imperative that he be removed from office effective immediately ( 25th amendment, section IV)

In keeping with Trump's capacity to read at a 3rd-4th grade level, I'll use the following trumped-down format to state the case:

• His woefully impoverished lexicon employs mostly one-syllable words, many of which he repeats  unrelentingly: very, sick, bad, (not) good, (not) fair, (not) nice, sad

• He appears to lack the ability to remember the names of people such as Paul Ryan (Ron), Kim Jung Un ( whom he referred to as the gentleman with whom Bill Clinton had negotiated) Benjamin Netanyahu (Betanyahu)—to name a few.

• His use of the present perfect and present continuous tenses demonstrates either a deplorable grasp of grammar or an astonishing ignorance of American history or both. Consider his generous recognition of Frederick Douglass' contributions:

 "an example of somebody who has done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I
  notice."

• Wrap your head around what Trump had to say about Abraham Lincoln:

"Great president. Most people don't even know he was a Republican," Trump said while addressing attendees at the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner. "Does anyone know? Lot of people don't know that."

^ Oh really, Mr. Trump? I'm a Canadian, and I know that.

• What I'm going to attempt to tackle now is more difficult, so be patient with me. Indulge me just a little if you can, for I am not the court jester who is pretending to be king.  Look at the expressions on his face as he misspeaks: ( petulant geezer sulks and pouts, tiny mouth shaped in a  miniature O), vacuous, far far away in Neverland, downright goofy..... doesn't he often look like the fat, mentally sluggish loser left behind? (C'mon. Fess up. You know he does. He looks  mentally retarded. You know he does.)

• And what about the way he speaks? His words, broken syntax, slaughtered  phrases, all erupting in fits and starts, oral farts. His cadence is awry. It's as though his voice were a crutch that tries (with no success) to stir his addled thoughts.

• Then there is his deplorable ataxia

a·tax·i·a

əˈtaksēə,āˈtaksēə/

noun

Medicine

noun: ataxia; noun: ataxy

1. the loss of full control of bodily movement

He's so ungainly. He lurches.  He staggers. He seems to have forgotten what to do with his ungainly arms, fat legs and mini-man hands.

the evil of banality
One thought, one trick, one face
to misgovern in disgrace.
