The Emperor Has No Pulse
The most dangerous man in the world is also barely conscious, and that should terrify you more than either fact alone.
Look at the photographs. Really look. The leader of the free world, surrounded by his hand-picked sycophants in coordinated purple, and the man is gone. Lights on, motor running, cognition idling somewhere off the coast of nowhere. Eyelids drooping into oblivion while the cameras roll and the planet watches.
This is not a candid moment caught between coherent ones. This is the texture. This is the daily reality. The nuclear codes sit within arm’s reach of a septuagenarian who cannot reliably remain upright through a staged photo op.
And here is the part that should hollow out your stomach: the people in the room know. The cabinet knows. The vice president knows. The aides who prop him up, hand him the correct pen, angle his chair so the cameras catch the good side, they all know. Nobody is invoking anything. Nobody is sounding any alarm because the alarm is the point. A vacant throne is the most useful kind of throne for the people arranged behind it, smiling in matching couture.
The republic is being run by whoever is whispering into the void. We do not get to know who that is. We are not permitted to know. That is the horror, fully formed, photographed, beamed into your pocket, and half the country is still pretending this passes for governance.
Be scared. Stay scared. Scared is the only rational posture toward a regime where the figurehead is medically absent, and the machinery grinds on regardless, accountable to nothing and no one.
If only. I want it to die in an explosion of shit and bile…..and I want someone to hold Melanoma face down in it till she stops kicking
You need to be scared - Americans, when are you going to stand up to this malignant narcissist, who is, once again, threatening your democratic process. It will be to late when he decides to turn America into a Republic or a Regime, Democratic systems can erode gradually rather than collapse overnight.
You already know that Trump has politicised the judicial system, weakened institutional checks, continually attacks your media systems, over-reaches his executive authority (War on Iran), has reduced public trust in elections and now is threatening to send an army to the midterms.. Stand the fuck up for yourselves before it is too late !!!
