The Boldest Trump Insiders Are No Longer Employable–Is Anyone Surprised, Saddened?

Some of the most striking exchanges in the (January 6th’s) committee’s text messages were between Mr. Trump’s longtime adviser Hope Hicks and Julie Radford, the chief of staff to Mr. Trump’s oldest daughter, Ivanka. In them, both women lamented that Mr. Trump had caused irreparable harm to his own staff as the violence played out. “In one day he ended every future opportunity that doesn’t include speaking engagements at the local Proud Boys chapter,” Ms. Hicks fumed in a message. “All of us that didn’t have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed.”
Sorry, but it’s impossible for any decent person to feel sympathy here. Trump advisor Hope Hicks signed up to be a to-the-death supporter of a man she knew to be a criminal sociopath, and now she’s worried about being “perpetually unemployed?”
She’s afraid of “looking like a domestic terrorist?” News flash: You are a domestic terrorist. Best case for you: no criminal charges. Find yourself a sugar-daddy and stay away from TV cameras.
Good riddance to you in the American workplace. I wouldn’t hire you to take out my trash, and it pleases me to know that most people feel the same.

Economist Robert Reich says, “Clarence Thomas should not be allowed to rule on Trump cases after his wife was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Recusal should be the absolute minimum. Your thoughts?”
There is no reason that the statement here can’t be true.

The tale at left is a reminder that we live in a world where kindness is “trending,” to use the popular term. This became apparent, to me at least, with the imperative to commit “random acts of kindness” concept of perhaps 20 years ago.
If you can relate to the meme here, and you’re willing to “surrender to the mystery,” you’ll love the composition of American singer-songwriter Iris Dement, below.
I found this meme from a reader quite interesting.
I don’t know about you, but I go back and forth on stuff like this…and I don’t use words like “imaginal.”
The fact that Trump avoided paying taxes using every means legal should surprise no one; it’s a tactic available to everyone, and the wealthier one is, the more latitude one has to play these tricks.
If, on top of this, you add corporate control of the media that Americans are force-fed, you have 98+% of the U.S. electorate that are truly powerless to control their financial condition, let alone reproductive rights, etc.
