Devolution

After Trump’s know nothing speech​ ​​last evening​, boring and full of untruths; after the latest proof of Manafort ​and ​others​'​ connection to conspiracy with Russia ​to ​throw the​ 2016 ​ election to Trump I have seen predictions of Trump's impending doom. I am not so sure. If progressives or even moderates controlled the Supreme Court I ​might​ believe it but now with ​progressive Justice Ginsburg fighting for her health God only knows what the unhappy fate of our nation could be. If the Court is in Trump’s pocket​, which I believe the "conservatives" on the Court are,​ they and only they could reverse the entire Mueller probe.

Mueller has Everest sized evidence ​against Trump and his administration ​that could take all of Trump and his henchmen ​down. Mueller's report​, if allowed to be seen,​ will be scathing but if ​the Supreme Court​ with Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Thomas, Alito, ​and ​perhaps, Roberts ​have their way, we ​will be ​in a nightmare ​of devolution into yet another barbaric age. I ​am hard pressed ​​to see ​the end of this ode to fascism, Trump, an​​d ​his ​enablers ​experiencing the justice they so richly deserve​. ​A ​​conservative ​Court majority of zero humanity and human morality, Trump’s centerpiece, ​could​ ​act alone and ​give ​Trump ​​absolution. I​​​,​ the doubter of a Supreme Being pray to one nonetheless in hope that I am wrong. I pray to a God I do not know exists to save us from ​this​ human catastrophe ​that is ​Trump with his endless mountain of 17 investigations of crime that would fell any other oval office occupier.

Think of it: all those human beings ​walking thousands of miles seeking asylum from impending doom in their own country ​– women, children, the aged, the disabled, the sick held captive ​by Trump's insanity ​that condemns them to sleeping under foil or on the floor ​in the cold desert and two Hispanic children dead of sicknesses from which they did not have to die​.​ ​ T​hose​ in this Trump administration ​who represent our nation murdered them. Look at what ​the malevolent ​and always mendacious​Trump has done to our nation, to the world and to our overheated planet​ committing many crimes against humanity​​.  Worse, he keeps on doing it.​  The government shutdown for the expensive wall of no emergency is condemning hundreds of thousands to lives of hardship with no pay some of whom may die.  Moreover, those of nefarious intent can access airports more easily as TSA agents are calling in sick.  He must be stopped.​

Those innocent children held in captivity will be a lost generation​. If​ the better angels of our national conscience ​prevail they will be returning from another ​holocaust ​of a different age ​– dazed, confused ​and ​not knowing what to do​ scarred for life through no fault of their own.​​​

Evolution is a truth of science but devolution is a truth as well. Neanderthal man is alive and well sitting in the oval office of the people’s house ​where men of stature once sat Trump sits ​feet away from a nuclear winter that could cover us all.
