Once the felon is out of office, by any means, there should be a Presidential Crimes Commission formed to investigate and prosecute those in the regime who have violated their oaths to the Constitution. It should be modeled after the court in The Hague that prosecuted WW II Nazi criminals, and held them accountable.
Thank you for the incisive clarity regarding the impact of the highly-unqualified cabinet assembled by Felon47, Steven.
Every example you cited makes it crystal clear that if our government was composed of knowledgeable managers, they could have warned the current occupant of the White House that his actions were not advisable, and prevented the ensuing chaos of poor policy.
I appreciated the connection you made linking RFK’s ignorant mandates that fly in the face of scientific medical knowledge to even his own family. The 35-year -old granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, Tatiana Schlossberg, has had extreme difficulty accessing treatment for her rare form of leukemia. Her doctor husband, and fellow researchers are being stripped of essential life-saving funding for cancer patients using modern vaccine technology. This tragedy is heart-breaking!
I am hoping that Felon47 and all of his Cabinet will be removed as a consequence of their treasonous behavior, and complete failure to support our Constitution.
Thanks Steven; So well scripted. Yes and how many more out there in the same situation as Tatianna. So sad and heartbreaking, Decency , intelligence and compassion are the lacking traits of the tyrant and the same goes for his underlings.
Possibly the most destructive cabinet member ever appointed! And his ridiculous, dangerous decisions will affect a member of his own family, Tatianna. 😡🙏🏻
So many of us hold on to the almost forgotten idea and expectation that our government runneth over with competent, thoughtful and dedicated public servants. So many. I have described Trump as did Charles Laughton (playing a barrister) in “Witness for the Prosecution”described a criminal he was defending as “like a drowning man clutching a razor blade.”
This is not only true of Trump, but of all of us, clutching our beloved country that is being shredded before our eyes. His chaos is our chaos. His evil ours. It spreads, this evil, like the piercing cry of an animal being preyed upon in the dark. There is much we cannot see, but the horrors of the night are being revealed as the sun slowly begins to rise on the American consciousness. We see the remains of integrity being strewn about, stripped to the bones, carelessly discarded.
Are we now an endangered species? When will the plundering and murderous policies cease? When will sanity and truth prevail? What will it take to not only acknowledge our position at home and abroad, but take steps to mitigate it? Only when this administration has left government will the true autopsy take place, and it will not, I fear, be pretty.
Trump's cabinet during his first term had some incompetent and/or self-interested people, but the Senate did keep somewhat of a check on who was appointed. Biden's cabinet was, on the whole, composed of experts in their fields. The Senate-led Republicans of Trump's second term have blood on their hands, not just from U.S. victims but internationally with the cancelation of USAID and the murders of people on small boats. Add to that the cancer patients who will not receive treatments, the children who will be malnourished, the disaster victims who will not receive the aid they so desperately need, the women denied healthcare when a pregnancy goes wrong, and Trump and the Republicans in Congress are well on their way to exceeding the death toll inflicted on the United States as a result of poor management of Covid and subsequent rejection of vaccines.
Wake up, America, and vote out every Republican. All are complicit.
Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, reflecting upon the structure and purpose of our endeavor in self governance: ". . .laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
This, the most corrupt regime in our national history, has caused the well-being of the people to be destroyed, our national security to be undermined, our sacred institutions of law to be subverted, and our probity and integrity to be unceremoniously and enthusiastically shredded.
Thank you once again for getting to the very heart of this tragedy for the Schlossbergs and for our country. As a physician, a father and grandfather I wish I could somehow ease the anguish of the entire family.
Still I must add my anger at Trump and his ignorant buddies who make decisions about health care with no idea about the long term ramifications of their stupid decisions. No only do they not have the knowledge and experience to make decisions about health, or anything else, they have no compassion or empathy. There are dedicated men and women who have spent their lives working to save others and are truly experts in the science and in dealing with the heart ache of patients and survivors. Yet, there are ignorant politicians and their ass kissing minions who make horrible stupid decisions in regard to healthcare. When we have the means and the will to help and our efforts are denied, I feel this is akin to murder. We have our own Hitler, Putin etc, etc. It may be, unfortunately, that Trump may not pay for his horrible decisions in this lifetime but I hope there is a hell where he and his buddies will suffer for eternity.
Thank you for sharing this story and letting us know what our priorities should be. Not some ballroom or totally monstrous treaty that will destroy Ukraine. And again thank you for the opportunity to rant, and to express my thoughts to the Schlossbergs.
A very thoughtful essay Steven, especially significant and poignant for all our friends who are dealing with Cancer themselves or assisting someone. The loss of so much Medical research and trials being funded will be monumental.
My heart goes out to Tatianna, Jack, and Caroline over the horrible malady that has afflicted Tatiana, especially with the 62nd anniversary of President Kennedy’s tragic assassination on Saturday.
Next to Mephistopheles himself, I believe Jr. to be the most dangerous, destructive, and nefarious individual in the regime.
His anti-vaccine quackery, buffoonery, and malice could potentially get millions of us killed off.
And yes, besides being a screwball and madman, much as you alluded to here, Steve, Jr. is also a sexual deviate. And the black sheep of the venerated Kennedy political family.
This is all on the Republican senators. They did not have to go along with the mad king who only chooses people who flatter him. They knew that. They went along (and in some cases some Democrats who still cling to the illusion of partisanship way too late.)
Thank you for this reminder that there will be consequences for actions on so many levels. I have to go a bit further and say that even prior to the Orange Felon assigning RFK,Jr to his important job, the US healthcare system was a shambles. For profit medical care will not work. Having to have the government subsidize insurance premiums should tell us something. Insurance company's profits are higher than they have ever been and still premiums go up every year and they insist on being subsidized. Insurance companies are actually in the denial business. I'm not even for Medicare for all anymore because those premiums are going up, Medicare fraud is out of control and it doesn't cover many needed services. We need a national healthcare system where providers will be able to practice in urban and rural areas and make a good living. This isn't rocket science. We need to take medical care away from insurance companies and give it back to the professionals who actually went to medical school. This from a 40 year RN who had to pay out of pocket for my own cancer treatment because I wasn't employed at the time. A lifetime of savings. This is a subject I am passionate about if you couldn't tell.
Ye shall reap what ye sow. In some cases the person who has to die is not the murderer but a close relative. If the Kennedy's have not endured enough suffering already this has to be the worst, because the lack of help and hope was promulgated by one of their own. Let us pray that her suffering shall not be in vain.

So very sad, so very scary…my heart & my prayers to Tatianna, her family & friends.
rfk and his ilk, (the entire trumpet cast of slimy characters, thugs, “associates”, hanger-ons), need to go,
Nuremberg style

Grateful for you Steven for your honest and beautiful writing , so we can keep up with what’s happening in this country and world.
Wishing you, your family and friends and this community a Happy Thanksgiving.
