It's a mixture of Damon Runyon, All the Kings's Men, The Last Hurrah and Pal Joey, with a dash of Mein Kampf. But you can't write this stuff. Imagine the richest man in the world exchanging favors with the Prime Minister of India in Blair House, with one of his children on his shoulders. The same day trans references are removed from the Stonewall memorial and a former Illinois governor, who has served time for trying to selling Barack Obama's senate seat, is pardoned just in time for a possible appointment as ambassador to Serbia. The pardoning of Jared Kushner's father, who was then appointed ambassador to France, set the precedent. Remember back in the 50s when The Threepenny Opera played at The Theatre de Lys and all one had to worry about was being called before the HUAC? City Hall is Tammany Hall with Mayor Adams kept on a string by virtue of his dismissal "with prejudice" and a Republican appointed U.S. Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon resigning in protest. It would all be amusing, a skit on SNL, if the reality of USAID being shuttered with Trump planning a Club Med for the Gaza Strip while saying "of course they would" when asked if Ukraine would be included in the negotiations for its own country's peace with Russia. Is this some sort of knock, knock joke? There was the biblical Tower of Babel and then the Tower of Shit Retrumplicans are building today. Oh yeah "Trump Halts Aid to South Africa Claiming Discrimination Against Afrikaners," reads The Washington Post headline. Will there be a Truth and Reconciliation Commission after the world picks up the pieces?
