Perhaps, as the BBC’s Katty Kay tweeted Friday, “Trump talks in superlatives. We should all get used to that. It doesn’t mean he acts in superlatives too.” While likely so, some thanks are owed to Congress for applying the brakes on his bigger initiatives. What Kay’s comment really suggests, however, is profoundly distressing: We have a president who should be ignored.
Musings of an old man leaning politically left of Noam Chomsky and the late Howard Zinn, two of this old man's heroes. He realizes he can't change the world, or even change one mind, but, that doesn't mean he can't speak his mind. He wants to be on record to have been on the right side of history and have the right to say, "I told you so."

Can We Ignore This Presidency?
Kathleen Parker's article suggests the normalization of this presidency. I confess I'm bored with it also.

The below Kathy Kay quote and Parker's and my suggestion to ignore the buffoon is not what governing the world needs. However, if we are to survive this administration we'll have to.
