Decidedly Grim...

Folk #1: I went to bed early, read a great novel, Hamnet, (2020), totally crashed out, then slept like a baby. I knew that the crazy guy was going to go on TV to say crazy things about the war in Iran but I just didn't give a fuck. Up early this morning, catching up now, I suppose we are now clearly in late-stages of rage, madness, dementia & delusions of granduer. What happens when a great nation is firmly in the grip of an aging, disintegrating, addled madman? Yikes. That is the burning question this a.m. And as a follow-up: How bad can all this get? Hmmm. Making hash and crashing the economy, sinking our reputation across the globe, destroying alliances, getting folks killed for no good reason. Sheesh. The prognosis is decidedly grim...
