Fiddling while Rome burns

 I have been watching your rep gubernatorial race a bit since Beagles brought up the subject, and it has been wild.  As Beagles has said it is just a race to be Trumpier than thou. Four mad dogs slavering to kiss the ring on the notoriously short finger.  And at last, like that Michelangelo painting of God reaching down to touch the finger of Adam, Trump has leaned down from Mar A Lago and touched the finger of Tudor Dixon.

So of course she was on the Fox Sunday talk show.  She has been backed by that awful Betsy DeVos, whose main goal as secretary of Education was to destroy the nation's public school system.  Aye she was a slimy one that Betsy, and yet she resigned in the wake of 
January 6, like a handful of other Trumpists did.  A handful of portraits in courage?  More like rats fleeing a sinking ship.  Only it turned out that the ship was not sneaking and many of them (Kevin McCarthy) immediately jumped back on.

But Betsy DeVos did not, though she did not swim so far away enough to keep her from begging Trump to back her candidate, which he did a couple days ago.  And on the Sunday show when faced with DeVos's mild denunciation of Trump, she swiftly denunciated DeVos.  

I predict an easy victory for Gutsy Gretch.


The ship is listing though in the gales of Jan 6 hearings which have filled in the details of Trump's Putsch, and which would have never existed of the dems hadn't taken the senate.  Fox news has toned down their Trump praise and The New York Post and the Wall Street Journal have come out against him, and even some sitting pols.  The base however is as solid as it ever was.  However they are only like a third of the nation, so how are you ever going to take over the country with that?

And meanwhile cities bake and California is running out of water, and storms are flooding St Louis and Kentucky.  The house is burning down while the firefighters are squabbling.
