Feelings

 From the relative safety of my perch here on the West Coast, I wondered how poorly someone could handle the vicious snowstorm that descended on the opposite side of the country. A million people were without power as cold ground the Southeast United States. 

And the clown with a golf club in Florida says, “Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???”

Sorry about the excessive punctuation and all caps, but that's the way it comes out of the tiny brain that tore down the East Wing of the White House. He can hang out and wait for the snow to melt without ever bothering to imagine that climate change is what is bringing all the severe weather to that side of the country. It's science that confounds the convicted felon who seems to also be unable to distinguish right from wrong. 

It also highlights one of the key features of human understanding that is completely absent in the dark place we refer to as the "president's" brain: Empathy. Who cares if millions will suffer and possibly die because of severe weather? This doesn't affect his golf score. This is also on display when he insists that the people pouring out into the streets in spite of the subzero temperatures are paid protesters. He simply cannot comprehend that other human beings care for other human beings beyond the cash on the line. Could it be that watching Americans being kidnapped, beaten and murdered is enough to bring us out to the point of rising up against the powers that be. 

Whatever happened to checks and balances? 

Whatever happened to due process? 

Whatever happened to free speech? 

Whatever happened to being a nation of immigrants? 

Whatever happened to The United States Constitution? 

Environmental Insurrectionists? How about the plain old insurrectionists thumbing their noses at the American people right now?
