 It would make all my dreams come true,
 Just to have a review from you,
There is nothing I wouldn't do.
​For a review from you...

​LONG-HAUL TRUMP

Picture
​    When Joe Biden won the 2020 Presidential election I, along with the majority of Americans who voted Biden into office, was jubilant. Not least among the reasons for my jubilation was the blessed relief I looked forward to of no longer being bombarded daily with Donald Trump.
​      For the previous five years one could not look at a newspaper, listen to the radio news, or turn on the internet without every lead story being about Donald Trump. It was Trump, Trump, Trump. The man constantly drummed up news and if ever a day went by that the spotlight was not on himself...well, he made sure that never happened, that never a day went by that he didn't grab half-a-dozen headlines. Being the President of the United States, he had that power. And he used it prodigiously. For five years he created the 24/7 news cycle in his own image, likeness, and voice.
     And while his adoring disciples may have loved that their cup runneth over with Trump, I honestly don't get it. Much as I loved Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton - yes, I loved Hilary Clinton, I campaigned for her,

...and I wish to this day it had been she who'd entered the White House in 2017, so sue me, sue me, what can you do me? - still, I wouldn't have been able to stand having either Obama or Clinton all up in my face and ears and brain all the time. Not so with the followers of the Gospel according to Donald. Seems they couldn't get enough.
        But anyway, after Joe Biden took office, and especially after the national shock over the
January 6 invasion
of the United States Capitol by Trump supporters ,         
Picture
...Donald Trump went slithering back to Mar-a-Lago and was mostly gone from the spotlight. Our country was finally cured of the cerebral inflammation that was symptomatic of the Trump presidency. 
      Or so we thought. 
​     Like a bacterial infection that is not properly treated with full medicinal force and knocked out the first time around, Donald Trump came back, thanks to the majority of Republicans in the Senate who refused to vote to convict him of inciting insurrection after he did just that on January 6.
       And so now Donald Trump is back and once again all up in our eyes and brains,

​ ...not to mention talking about running for President in 2024,

​...and holding monster night rallies with stage fireworks and high-tech video loop-de-loops.

      And then there are the January 6 Congressional hearings that are really all about Donald Trump,
​

Picture
...even if though it's his former lackys, enablers, and the schlubs who attacked the Capitol at his behest who are now taking the heat.
      Might as well face it, our country is suffering from a bad bout of long-haul Trump along with all the residual side effects and we're a mighty sick nation at the moment. And, alas, only We the People hold the cure. If we want it.
