Crazy!

So tell me if I'm crazy....  There are some who think Trump is having a good two weeks with foreign policy successes.....  cavalierly 'trash talking' an insane dictator with nuclear weapons; bombing another dictator that is giving the Russians a blowjob and killing his own people; demonstrating the size of his 'hands' by obliterating tunnels with a giant turd-like bomb; and now losing track of an entire Carrier task force which we come to discover was never on it's way to the Korean Peninsula, but rather on it's way south to participate in military exercises near Australia!

Is is just me or does this seem like gross incompetence?  Trump's foreign policy by impulse is putting our country and democracy in danger.  His Secretary of Defense Mattis and Intelligence Director McMaster both claimed that the Carrier Attack Group was headed to the Korean theatre when either they were lying, or actually didn't know where they were.  I am uncertain which is worse!

I am not sleeping very well anymore.  I thought I could weather this administration much the same way I thought I could endure the GWB administration by just holding my breath until 4 years were up, but this time around I am not so confident.  This president is so careless, so convinced of his own instincts that he is thrashing around the Oval like a bull in a china shop.  Are any of you convinced that he even remotely understands the complexity of any of the world's geo-political interplay?
I think what we are seeing is a trigger happy cowboy who is going to get us into a war that might end everything for everybody.

And I think the most amazing part of all this is that the Congress, and the Republicans particularly, are so impotent and toady with him that all that they want is to preserve their own fiefdoms by kowtowing to him, and appeasing his egregious behavior no matter what the cost to the nation and the world.

When you combine what is happening on the foreign front with the destruction of all the hard won constructive actions taken by the Obama administration over the last eight years, the vision is truly terrifying.  We are witnessing a profound wickedness on the part of our leaders---lying--subterfuge--misdirection--witholding information and decisions from the people---

and as Isaiah said once long ago, "Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him."

Unfortunately we are all going to have to swallow that reward when it comes.  Good Lord, is there any salvation here?  Where are the patriots?  How do we regain sane control of our nation?
