Whence the Resistance?

Hey, I think I just invented a new word! A techspert is a technology expert.....Get It? Do you think it should be spelled "techspert" or "texpert"?

There is nothing new under the sun, Mr. Beagles; both terms are already in use, according to the Urban Dictionary.  The reference to the Beatles' "I am the Walrus" was amusing, though.

But the Cain vs Abel thing is alive like never before with the wild hunters of the freedom caucus despoiling the nicely grown corn rows of, well of the dealster.

Okay, you're losing me, Uncle Ken.  Although Mr. Beagles has stated that you "speaketh in parables," I think you're starting to speak in riddles.  Is the House Freedom caucus a group of wild hunters or the sharp-toothed polecat/ferret crawling up the rectum of the body politic?  Comparing Trump to a kidney stone is appropriate, I suppose, and although very painful I don't think they are fatal.  Having had kidney stones myself, I wouldn't wish them on anyone.

Despite the drop in approval ratings, #45 seems to be continually winning the game that he is playing.  A recent article in Slate sheds a little light on his game: Stop Saying Donald Trump Is Mentally Ill.  The article states that he is an artist of sorts, able to bend reality to his own goals.  But that goal is an expression of evil, "So here is a definition for our time: Radical evil is the manipulation of others’ perception of reality in order to increasingly concentrate power and wealth in the hands of the few."
 
Regardless of earlier references to turnip trucks and dusty overalls, others share my concerns about the "party first" mentality in another article, also in Slate: "Where Are the Good Republicans?"  And yes, I own a pair of overalls; damn comfy to work in.

Both articles are worth a read and help clarify current circumstances, I think. But I wonder why it's
taking so long for a measured response against all of the rumored malfeasance.  Money laundering, interference by foreign governments, nepotism, and god knows what else should be sufficient for intense scrutiny (and prosecution) by law enforcement, don't you think?  What are they waiting for?  Government accountability and transparency have flown out the window.  Trump claimed during his campaign that other nations were "laughing at us" because of our trade deals.  Now they are laughing even harder, for completely different reasons.

The regime continues to churn out terms of a distinctly Orwellian nature.  Fake news, alternative facts, and now "clean coal."  What the hell is clean coal supposed to be?  Even coal industry officials realize that the days of big coal are over.  But maybe with the repeal of EPA regulations there is hope for more blackening skies.

Where is a meteor when you need one?
