Mount Rushmore

There's a subset of every society which pines for authoritarian rule and it was easy to see during Trump's latest cabinet meeting. People around the table were fawning over the leader in North Korea style fashion in a way that would induce nausea in most intelligent and self-respecting people. 

Not all of them believe it entirely but Trump channels their hatred and vengeance while the rest have found their personal savior and are firmly in cult territory. 

The US is already in constitutional crisis after a 9-0 Supreme Court decision was handed down. This was the same court which thought it wise to hand even more power to a narcissistic idiot. Still, they found enough spine to agree that poor Mr García shouldn't be left in an El Salvadoran gulag. An order which will be duly ignored.

Stupidity is alive and well in the 21st century.

The Trump regime now wants universities and law firms to bend the knee which some of them refused to do. Harvard which is even older than the country itself resisted and sent out an email to students and faculty that it would not falter in defending its constitutional rights. 

Some years back I would have been stunned to realize how quickly a nation can fall into chaos but those blinders are now firmly and forever lifted. 

Hopefully Mount Rushmore will be spared the indecency of being altered.
