Zen And The Art Of The Deal

Update...Friday AM: AG Barr said today that the answers he is seeking on the origins of the investigation of Trump have been...”inadequate”....this as a full-blown cover up of Donald Trump's very questionable deeds over decades is in progress. Conservatives.... you are building a tyrant of potentially monstrous proportions in Donald Trump! Evangelicals....God has apparently given President Trump to this faddish and prosperity gospel church in America....as a judgment....not as a MAGA boost. It is time to fall on our knees seeking forgiveness for our dalliances with entertainments and greed and now gross power grabs through a well orchestrated deception by a man who excels in nothing in life more than manipulating people to his own benefit.

           After about twenty-five months so far of continuous lying......well over ten thousand documented individual lies so far......some big.....most small.....there is not a single thing Donald Trump could say that I would believe without verification....not a single solitary thing.  His whole life has been this way.....but we have been indoctrinated into not reading books about him haven't we?
          Trumpism has taken on a religious tone. In the beginning....(no pun intended)....it was issues oriented....but then the rubber was to meet the road....and there was no tread on Donald Trump's tires....but fear not little flock....this was now a messiah.....not a politician. Rush Limbaugh was the first to take charge of the masses of worshipers. Gone were the saffron robes with this cult figure....Golf shirts were now the robe of the day....while the incense of cigar smoke....and the golden temples scattered across the Eastern seaboard.....and the meditative green walkways....(known today as fairways)....calmed our anxieties.
           Om na ra.....Trump Trump Trump.....Om Na Ra.....Trump Trump Trump.....it was dizzying the similarities between Eastern meditation and American conservative talk radio. Chakras and runes have been replaced by bull markets and quarterly statistics.....crystals by gold. Nebuchadnezzar's statue has long since fallen.....as has Dagon's.....but a new one is being hoisted.....with a head of gold.....but feet of clay.....in which we are to turn (on) and worship every day....on an AM dial....from noon to three.
