Trump's Stress Test

Trump Stress-Tested the Election System, and the Cracks Showed: This is a lovely article. 

The article focuses only on the election and howit took the stress. Congress would hopefully ensure that elections can handle stress better.

But what about the other issues that Trump stressed - such as meddling with special counsel Mueller's investigation or violating campaign finance laws (paying off the women through Cohen) or expecting the Ukrainian president to investigate Biden in order to get American aid? 

Trump stressed the system and the system was found to be weak in responding. 

There is a general belief that Trump did everything in broad daylight and the belief that whatever is done that way cannot be duplicitous. Here is an example below:

What we do know is unquestionably it was too many people,” De Blasio told reporters on Tuesday. “It appears that there was a very conscious effort to conceal what was going on. And that’s what makes it even more unacceptable.” from https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/11/25/hasidic-wedding-fined-new-york/

Is the act by itself culpable or the fact that it was concealed culpable? What is our moral stand? 

Who is going to address these?

They will contend that if the president wasn’t heard explicitly saying, I want a violent mob to topple Congress, harm members, and overturn the election that I lost, he cannot be held responsible for what happened that day. This is nonsense. If you pour gasoline all over a building, tell some people it is essential the building burn, and make sure they’re carrying matches and lighters, you are to blame for the arson that follows—especially if you then decline to call the fire department and condone the inferno. What Trump wanted to put up in flames on January 6 was American democracy."

Garland, not as the federal government’s chief law enforcement officer, but merely as a political foe and someone with whom he can haggle with about how much anger exists over the situation. Shortly before Mr. Garland announced that he was seeking to unseal the search warrant, an intermediary for Mr. Trump reached out to a Justice Department official to pass along a message that the former president wanted to negotiate, as if he were still a New York developer. The message Mr. Trump wanted conveyed, according to a person familiar with the exchange, was: “The country is on fire. What can I do to reduce the heat?” The essence of Trump - Dealing and negotiating and posturing.

Preening Narcissism

This post is an exception - this is a scrapbook containing only links. But this post is included here only because it's an excellent collection of links on Trump. 

President Trump Is Unfit for This Crisis. Period.  Quote: "His preening narcissism, his compulsive lying, his vindictiveness, his terror of germs and his terrifying inability to grasp basic science..."

Panel Suggests Trump Knew He Lost the Election, Eyeing Criminal Case https://nyti.ms/35qWxX3 quote "Even though none of Mr. Trump’s persistent claims about election fraud turned out to be true, prosecutors will most likely have to grapple with the question of his state of mind at the time — specifically, the issue of whether he believed the claims were true, said Alan Rozenshtein, a former Justice Department official who teaches at the University of Minnesota Law School." 

Extrapolating liberally if I were to rob Barclays Bank, the prosecutor will have to determine if I thought Barclays Bank was my bedroom.

"There is nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you recalculated,’ the president told Brad Raffensperger". Just like the call where Trump told the Ukrainian president to launch an investigation into the Bidens. If Brad did recalculate, Trump would use that fact to portray a very different story. Full transcript: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-raffensperger-call-transcript-georgia-vote/2021/01/03/2768e0cc-4ddd-11eb-83e3-322644d82356_story.html. Quote: "At one point, Trump told the secretary of state: “All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes [Biden won the state by 11,779 votes], which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”" Note that Trump STARTS with the belief that he won and hence he is hunting for 11,780 votes.

46. Impeach and Convict. Right Now. : Quote "From the moment Trump became the G.O.P. front-runner in 2015, it was obvious who he was and where, if given the chance, he would take America. He was a malignant narcissist in his person. A fraudster in his businesses. A bully in his relationships. And a demagogue in his politics.He did not have ideas. He had bigotries. He did not have a coalition. He had crowds. He did not have character. He had a quality of confident shamelessness, the kind that offered his followers permission to be shameless, too... Every decent society depends for its survival on its ability to be shocked — and stay shocked — by genuinely shocking behavior. Donald Trump’s entire presidency has been an assault on that idea."
47. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-resignations-25th-amendment/2021/01/07/e131ce10-50a3-11eb-bda4-615aaefd0555_story.html: Quote: "Kelly also seemed to voice regret about Trump’s election. “We need to look infinitely harder at who we elect to any office in our land — at the office seeker’s character, at their morals, at their ethical record, their integrity, their honesty, their flaws, what they have said about women, and minorities, why they are seeking office in the first place, and only then consider the policies they espouse,” Kelly said."
48. The Disgrace on Capitol Hill - Quote: "As for Mr. Trump, to steal some famous words deployed in 1940 against Neville Chamberlain: “In the name of God, go.”" Is this the same paper which believed that impeachment (of Trump) was uncalled for? Whoa.

56. "In an interview with Fox News, former president Donald Trump said Putin had undertaken the military maneuver “because of a rigged election” in the United States.

Roja In A Generation

I saw this movie on tv today after many years. The saw it for the first time the year it was released - in 1992.

It was patriotic, had good songs. AR Rehman made his debut in this movie. Mani Ratnam himself was new. 

My life was starting. I had just moved to a new city. I was just beginning my career.

It's now a generation later. Life looks so different now. So so so many things have happened in the intervening years. My professional career is long since over. The work I do is something I had never imagined, I hadn't studied for it. I hadn't even remotely imagined then what i would be doing today or how I would be today.

I guess
