Very much so! I noticed several parallels in a reread of Act III, Scene IV.
This is a good rant. I’ll definitely count myself among those generally unclear on how the U.S. president affects politics in that area.
Wednesday just had me super down. I spent the better part of last year helping a young, talented trans friend navigate her way back from sex work and pending homelessness to a good paying job; the thought of as many as 15000 trans vets facing a similar uncertain future broke my heart, that what exists of our community simply does not have the resources to do anything for them. Of trans people I know who have stable jobs and a life situation putting us in a position to serve those needs, there aren’t enough of us to help the currently troubled people, not to mention all those additional.
All this going through my head, while finding out how many liberals online described this direct threat to my friends and acquaintances as mere “distraction.” Every day this week I just wanted to skip work in the afternoon to drink the rest of the day away.
Fortunately it seems Trump’s incompetence has saved us even here, for the time being, but bullies gonna bully, so he’ll keep poking and prodding to see who he can get away with hurting. I guess so far that’s immigrants, for all American left’s talk we have managed to do hardly anything to save them, really.
This is just too Mooch.
Too rude? Not rude enough?
Caught trying to fellate himself.
He did his job nobly, which was to distract from the testimony in the House. Now his usefulness is at an end. Blessed is he who lays down his wife (sorry cheap dig) job for a business associate. His reward is in dollars.
I worry that the next one goes like this:
“Donald, Putin has announced a press conference live on RT in one hour in which he’s going to reveal all your business dealings in Russia.”
“Clear and present danger! Someone go and shoot Hillary Clinton. Make sure you have plenty of TV cameras! Pardon guaranteed! (aside) If he survives.”
Or he just didn’t learn how to quickly enough…
[Edit] Or, there’s this explanation:
Hot take from the former President of Mexico:
One thing Trump is doing well: raising the profile of the President of Mexico.
He’s a “Little Skirmisher.”
It’s been ten days? That should have felt longer.
He’s a clown.
Can he do the fandango?
Apparently not
It just now occurs to me that a gaze of the illustration is improved by Split Enz’s “Six Months in a Leaky Boat” as soundtrack.
Could’ve used one person swinging a paddle at someone else, and one getting thrown off the boat.
