This was so wonderfully full of acerbic wit. A delight to read and a tonic for the weary traveler. Well done Jeffrey. Now I am inclined to agree with Mark in all this. The trouble is that we do not attribute enough power to STUPIDITY when we are reconstructing the motives of people like Trump. His problem is that he was born into wealth. A master surrounded by slaves created by his father. The task of the slave is ever to kiss ass and to protect the master from ever finding out what the real world is about. The slaves around Trump have done an admirable job. Now though he has got to the level where there is no hiding place. True, there are still ranks upon ranks of ass kissers everywhere, but every so often the realization that the Administrative system does have its own special rules and the sad truth slowly emerges that one cannot always shit on the carpet and get away with it. It will take a socialist revolution of immense dimensions to clean out the Augean Stables of the American State, but in the mean time we can have a quiet smirk as the System slowly, timidly, and oh so relutcantly but inevitably girds its loins to tell the POTUS "You're fired". comradely Gary On Fri, May 12, 2017 at 10:51 PM, Louis Proyect via Marxism < marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: > ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > ***************************************************************** > > The blending of hubris and stupidity on display in the Comey affair is a > recipe for political comedy and legal disaster.
