When Every Word Is A Mask
by Glenn R. Geist
“Every philosophy also conceals a philosophy; every opinion
is also a hiding place, every word a mask.”
And you know it’s true because it’s Nietzsche. We read yesterday that the Pretender in Chief was warned by national security advisers and briefing materials: “DO NOT CONGRATULATE.” Of course, he did. He couldn’t resist it because despite being a corrupt, greedy, and murderous despot with territorial ambition, free of morality or conscience, he’s Trump’s hero.
He admires how the man has held all the power in Russia for so long, silenced and killed protesters and critics and rigged elections. Making America great again is wrapping paper for being Putin. His hat is a mask.
We read this morning of his latest fury at the leak of what was confidential. Apparently, some patriot sees that we the people need to know what worm hides in the apple and I agree, we do.
I desperately hope that Mr. Mueller has gathered enough data to put him away and that he acts soon before the choice is taken from our cold, dead Republic. I suspect that another head or two will roll, reprisals will be taken, more wild hair raging in the storm about revenge.

You are exactly right on that one because that fucking guy opens his mouth and lies spill out.
I don’t think it will matter what Mueller does because Trump’s gang of consigliere are advising their client, and his obedient entourage, to continue the Twitter attacks demeaning the investigation. His loyal followers are programmed to believe everything true is a lie.
This is a brilliant use of Nietzche’s often prophetic words. The Big Pig’s clock is ticking, unfortunately so is the world’s doomsday clock, as long as the monstrous incompetency of the Trump presidency is allowed to exist.
