All other posts of yours that I have seen have been spot on, & this one is no exception. Weird, but now I can’t stop picturing Trump in a sparkly pink prom dress, waving a golden scepter, holding court and play acting the role of Queen Bee with all of his breathless minions.
Perfect analogy! So incredibly sad we put up with this disastrous bull shit. Somebody had to punch the bully in the nose and send him crying to his loving parents…
Wonderful piece. What is happening is so terrifying and isn't normal. Thank you for calling it out in such an eloquent way and for better putting into words what a lot of us have been thinking....
This is entertaining, inspiring, and perhaps points out a challenge I am having with my close friends who are "purple" white males who did not vote for Trump but blame the Democrates for "F...king Up". Did they miss out on the mean girl high school culture? What were they doing in the HS lunch room? Throwing this out there in case it lands with anyone?...The week in question we discussed the activity of Trump (Strong man Trariff WeeK). When it was time to discuss...I was told ...."I will talk about the Tariffs in questions but I don't want to talk about "How Trump is executing"...that is too subjective....too much room for opinion....I was taken aback...The HOW of Trumps behaviors IS the problem.. IMHO Trumps mean girl and his followers is actually the formula for the implementation of an autocratic regime. What percent of our population gets that the "mean girls" is actually the attempt of the Queen bee to implement an autocratic regime . If we don't focus on the how and get distracted by all these EO's we are going to miss the boat. I am trying to think what were my buddies doing in high school when the mean girls were running things.
thanks Barbara—great point re the “how” of Trump’s power being the problem. He has control of all levers of govt. He could execute his agenda thru proper channels and processes. He’s choosing not to because he wants even more power than he has.

oh that’s made my morning Beth—thanks!
I wouldn’t call it a parody - it puts it in a perspective that people can relate to.
thanks Rona -- that's always my hope

Thanks. I can honestly say I wake each morning hoping for that to happen.

thank you Monica. The research and writing helps keep me relatively sane. Seeing comments like yours helps even more.
