I am not astonished so many expect too much from thin air Trump. Unlike miracles the physical laws of politics -as compared to everyday life-strictly forbid non-mechanical movement. JFK stepped over a Red Line. After this blood sacrifice the laws of politics triumphed. Pick up Girard and send a letter with a copy to the President. Rene Girard holds up the gospels as a mirror to reflect our broken humanity and, in the same frame, they reveal the new reality that can make us whole. Like Simone Weil, Girard looks at the Bible as a map of human behavior, and sees Jesus Christ as its compass, pointing us in the right direction regardless of where we start. The title echoes Jesus' words (Luke 10:18): I saw Satan falling like lightning from heaven. Girard persuades the reader that even as our world grows increasingly violent the power of the Christ is so great that the evils of scapegoating and sacrifice are being defeated even now. A new community, God's nonviolent kingdom, is being realized.

The wisdom of abnegation of self government and handing it to Donald Trump, Dr. Dumb Shit or President Warp Speed, a second time, is then no miracle. The Deep State calculation simply is revolt is less likely under Trump who does not have to be nice, just more popular than Biden even if less than Michelle Obama. The juggernaut of Dulness steams onward into the Ukraine and into the country of death, into the jaws of hell, not though anyone knew how greatly they blundered in winter. Still, like the Superbowl, it is half a yard, half a yard onward into the Donbass, under constant bombardment, wrapped in mustard gas, thousands of yards to go for touchdown, and no American was dismayed for we were winning. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/nato-to-deploy-100-000-peacekeepers-in-ukraine-russia-claims/ar-AA1uZQjo?ocid=BingNewsSerp
