Apologies to my readers for the low production on-my-end…I have a university class schedule for a much younger professor this Semester; and, it has been kicking my ass! I\’m barely prepared each week for my Friday 8:00am class (since I\’m normally not out-of-bed at that time)!
In fact, I should probably be grading student work and then read the Social Psychology text as I write this — but USC\’s spanking by Notre Dame this evening has made me surly — as does ol\’ Pumpkinhead! So I thought I\’d throw out some essay titles that I\’ll never follow up on:
- The 25th Amendment: Section 4: I have heard (because like ol\’ Pumpkinhead — I am unfamiliar with the Constitution and its amendments) that Section 4 of this amendment allows the Vice President, together with a \”majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide,\” to declare the President \”unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office\” by submitting a written declaration to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. As with Section 3, the Vice President would become Acting President. I have told my students that I am designing a \”Section 4\” t-shirt that hopefully be wearing by Semester\’s end.
- The Elephant in the Room: Piggy-backing on the foregoing title is this one. Ol\’ Pumkinhead has permanently trashed the presidency and the GOP doesn\’t seem to care.
- Burn Baby Burn: It appears that Trump supporters are content to watch US and the world burn. As social arsonists, they seem to have a fascination with destroying institutions meant to bring solace and hope to the downtrodden.
- The Needs of the Few, Outweigh the Needs of the Many: A flip-flop of the famous Spock to Kirk and Kirk to Spock line as US learns of Big Oil in Niger and elsewhere.
- Bengazi or Bust!
- Go McCain Go: I think this true war hero may go out with a Bang! Either John M, or his people, got a hold of my exhortation that he once again step into the breach. Thank you John M!
- Drop and Cover: As a child, we used to do drop-and-cover drills in the classroom to protect us from nuclear attack.
- Robert Mueller: I Have Only One Christmas Wish: And if you could do a rush order I would be greatly appreciative! I suggest you include the following in the nation\’s Christmas package: telephoning a war widow; nasty tweets to politicians, women, a Gold Star family, John M., a Mexican-American judge, minorities, Puerto Ricans in addition to From Russia with Love stuff you are already looking at.
- Unusual Suspects: Who but ol\’ Pumpkinhead could unite the former presidents into a coalition? They must realize that he will destroy all of their legacies (in addition to the office itself) if left on checked!
How does this White House keep going? They have, for all-intents-and-purposes, destroyed all positives the American political system may have had going for it. They have made a mockery of just about everything to do with our constitution and democratic governance. Most every Intelligent Nation on the planet has divorced US — because they know that we can\’t be counted on for anything. We have a congress that is devoid of testicles and estrogen and has lobbyist dicks stuck so-far-up-their-asses that they are beginning to find their paralysis enjoyable.
Would someone please invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment before someone starts another land war in Asia…or Los Angeles…?
