   Wait .. this is, after all, the glorious United States Of America ! You know, the only developed country on the planet with NO universal health care for its citizens ? Your President wraps himself in your flag, yet medical bills are so outrageous that no money is left to pay for necessities like food, clothing and shelter ? … Please tell me again, exactly WHEN America was Great ?

   (BTW, area code 716 is upstate New York, the Buffalo area, which I understand to be where Pab lives. He has a GoFundMe, www.gofundme.com/f/pabshouse - look it up and donate whatever you can. In the name of human dignity and empathy, which appears, at least to this Canadian, becoming rare in America).

   Apparently there is a China Level Four Research Laboratory located in Wuhan. Level Four being an international designation describing highest security and working with the most infectious diseases, viruses and bacteria. Nuff said ?

   In Canada, we have three (and sometimes more) political parties, the Liberals, the Conservatives and the New Democratic Party. The Liberals are often referred to as The Governing Party, who get to sit bemused watching the Conservatives continually defeat themselves by way of vicious in-fighting, whilst the NDP are often the loudest, but usually third. These days, the electorate watches in amusement. Not quite as vacuous as American politics, but it is an interesting contrast.

   The Republican party is so far up Trump’s ass they can taste yesterday’s Bic Mac.

   Perhaps stirring the pot is needed. Democrats need to find a candidate who can win. Intelligence won’t, neither will reason or platform, or advocacy. Even the youngest is still trying to appease. Where is the firebrand whose appeal is visceral ?

   I’m Canadian. Our system has plenty of flaws. The American system has become gangrenous. This is how you make America great again – by turning it into a demagoguery ?

   Here in Toronto, we had an AMBER ALERT wake us early the other day, it told of a NUCLEAR ACCIDENT at a nearby plant. Shortly afterwards a second correcting AMBER ALERT was sent out to tell us the first was a mistake. A few people got upset, and it made the morning news. Its nice to know such a mechanism is in place to advise the public. It was also useless; there’s nowhere to go, there’s nothing anyone can do. No ?

   The United States has devolved into a poor country. Its losing in so many ways.

   Makes you wonder what documented “dirt” involves Lindsey Graham ?

    Trump wanted to deflect media attention away from his impeachment. As a direct result of his decision, 174 innocent people lost their lives. All other reasoning is speculation. He is a psychopath with malignant narcissistic personality disorder, suffering from old age dementia and exhibiting signs of Alzheimer’s Disease. All of us have an “internal persona” we use to justify our existence. Trump’s self-image includes a view of “stable genius” that is perfection personified, which means an inability to accept accountability for actions and impulses. Such a person is terrified that anyone discover he has shortcomings, faults of various kinds, and believes he is a superlative successful businessman. If your grandfather exhibited these characteristics in family discussion around the Thanksgiving dinner table, you would conclude he is mentally ill. Trump is unfit to hold office and is focused only personal gain at the expense of everyone and everything else. He does not WANT to behave in this manner, he is INCAPABLE of behaving in any other way. Sadly he is only going become worse, not better, and more extreme in his impulses. He should be removed from office. To do that, the people who voted for him must admit they made a mistake.
