This writing extends the theme of #230, “SHAMELESS,” relating to Donald J. Trump’s demonstrable cruelty. His elimination of government agencies that protect human health, well-being, and the environment and provide food and medicine to the needy throughout the World, notably exemplifies the very pinnacle of cruelty.
For a brief time, in an effort at principled restraint, we were successful in the containment of reactive anguish and derivative shame by the diverting election to write on alternate themes, such as “MANDATORY SURGERY. # 233, and “SOLO SOCIETY,”#234. However, we find thast we are no longer to postpone the expression of our feelings of unmitigated rage at the recent heinous ac ts of Donald J. Trump under the false banner of “eliminating waste and fraud,” and, notably, by the cynical and outrageous dynamics of their implementation. We have also experienced profound disappointment and anguish at the impotence of the Democratic Party’s response.
The established mode of effecting policy changes mandates a prerequisite study and inquiry (usually, an open hearing) by the relevant Congressional Committee, followed by a resultant report to the legislature for statutory consideration. Notwithstanding our constitutionally appropriate precedent, Donald J. Trump’s autocratic, arbitrary, and, factually unsupported action (with the assistance of his non-elected, autistic -savant, “hit man,”) has, in orthodox Mousellini style, summarily dismissed many essential federal agencies, (together with their employees) upon his delusional and unsupported meme of “eliminating governmental fraud and abuse.” Such improperly arrogated autonomy makes appropriate the present expression of our feelings of unsuppressible outrage.
Imperially and presumptively bypassed by Trump are considerations of objective and pragmatic need and consequential negative outcome regarding the welfare of human life and society, and the Nation’s ultimate aspiration for improvement by his harmful dismissal of beneficially impactful agencies such as The United States Education Department,” the suicidal elimination of the CDC and the hazardous restraints imposed upon the National Health Agency, the NIH, the Nation’s Inspector Generals, encompassing societal damage relative to citizen health and welfare, such as disability, social security, school lunch programs, medicare and the like. As previously declared, such a draconian program is pathologically cruel and inarguably resultant in ubiquitous tragedy;
Equally dystopic to the nightmarish exercise is the arrogant, atavistic, and non-American exercise of Monarchical-style, unlimited authority, with no consideration given to the Constitution, its Separation of Powers, nor any other established procedural institution or historic safeguard against tyranny, Trump had publically declared his intention to be autocratic and has now demonstrated to the American public, that when it is in his neurotic interest, his systemic practice of serial mendacity can be temporarily ameliorated.
At this moment in our history, it is existentially determinative for mainstream America notably including its political representatives and officials, in sync with its domocracy- loving citizenry, to loudly voice their primal outrage and unshakeable opposition to the extant rape of our invaluable Republican Democracy by the fascistic acts of Trump and his complisant horde of loyal MAGA storm troopers.
