This country is rubble and needs to be rebuilt
During Trump’s inauguration address, I was reminded of his observation, many months ago, that “the generals are rubble.” Essentially, our whole country is rubble needing to be rebuilt, was the message he sent today, with a litany of bad stuff and the newly minted term “American Carnage.”
The strangest part of the speech was when he said that the education system has caused our children to be “deprived of all knowledge.” Education Secretary nominee Betsy DeVos is set to reverse this situation by informing us that public education is a fraud, which is the one piece of knowledge that will get driven into our empty heads.
So, from rubble and absence of knowledge, shall we rise?
That’s not such a good bet, considering how he just excoriated a lot of the people who will be working for him.
I couldn’t watch, couldn’t listen to anything he said. He is correct that many people have no knowledge- many of those who voted for him.
Well I’ve spent the last few hours finishing Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad a better use, I think, of anyone’s time. Best book I’ve read in a while.
Thank you for watching, listening to these gems of wisdom, because I could not. Gave my dogs a bath instead. At least they (the dogs) make sense.
