In Search of the Last Straw

                                              So what do you expect me to write?
 


No matter where in the World you live, dear reader,you  are following the 24/7 news cycle as much as the rest of us.

 Time and again HRH wondered whether "this" or "that" would be the last straw for

•  his bigot base
•  the evangelical zealots
•  for perhaps  a dozen patriotic Publican Senators
•  for Paul Ryan--sorry ed.just kidding
•  for at least Susan [reaching across the aisle]Collins
•  [now you are kidding-ed.]
•  for Melania

• Surely the pious evangelicals would not stomach "grabbing by the crotch"?
• Stormy Daniels
• Multiple other sexual shenanigans
• Let alone the two ecclesiasticals
• The only Church attendance is the Golf Course at Mar A Lago

• The promise/refusal to release the tax returns
• Insulting Gold Star Parents

• Supporting the two of the three largest financiers of terrorism and deadly instability--Russia and Saudi.
• The Persians[the third]  must have diddled Trumpski in his TRUMP TOWER  BAKU deal  with General Mohammad Ali Jafariof the Revolutionary Guard.
• [Ed: Who?]
• [Cyclops: Do try to keep up--wait for Ivanka's Testimony to various House Committees]
• By coincidence Russia and Saudi are the largest financiers of the Trumpski Empire and 
• Potentially that of  Un Yung Yared 

• Trump has destroyed most of  any remaining benefits of Pax America.

Cyclops is well aware that much of this would delight his bigot base and the "know nothings" in the Real America.            "We got two Supremes"

•  HRH did not dream for a moment that his base would give a damn about Jared's Saudi mate butchering a US based journalist.
• But after a momentary unification with their souls what has the Publican Senate done about this extraordinary and brutal disrespect to US values?
• A "smoking chain saw" is a good one liner Senator Lyndsey Graham.
• Now what?

• Cyclops really wanted to believe that at least part of his base would be offended by his  travel to  Europe to "celebrate"the 100th anniversary of end to  WW1 
• Then skipping a planned visit to pay respect at a US Veterans Cemetery.
• At least General Kelly had sufficient respect to brave the drizzly weather.
• Then on return to the US the President,who is "very big,the biggest" on the the military was too busy to ride the mile from the White House to Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day.

•  Yet his "support " seems to remain loyally comatose--that's the  Publican Elected officials.
• Going down with the ship?
• The bigot base will always be with him but it is astonishing that the last poll the Court reviewed still showed a 39% to 52% approval/disapproval rating.
• When will it finally arrive at the 33% bigot + evangelical base?
• No doubt the collapse will come just after the sane in America give up in  disbelief.

The lies,denials,the pantomime and the michigas continues

 Despair not mes braves.

The mid term success of the Democrats was indeed a Trump referendum.

It opens the gate to proper congressional review

• We are living through the beginning of the end.
• Too much evidence,too many convictions,too many obvious crimes.
• Too many associates taking a plea.
• A Democratic House  waiting to unleash a tsunami of investigations
• Nobody volunteering to be Chief of Staff.
• King Lear will be abandoned in his redoubt.

Within a month of Ivanka giving her testimony,the men in white coats will do their duty.
As you read this, McConnell is arranging the logistics.
