 Supporting either of them is also an endorsement of their policy to send weapons to Israel.

 We take sides, if that's the term, because it's the lesser damage and because we still can. There are no virtuous systems. There are our decisions on how to act in the world we have.

Why take sides over Trump or his rival from the Democrats? Isthere a difference? Do either of them possess virtues so precious that theyshould be highlighted for the world to acknowledge? 

When a rogue nation dominates the world, scapegoating anentire people and unleashing genocide, why do its citizens fall over each otherto hold up their leaders as heroes? Why are they not ashamed like the Germans werewhen they realised what they did to Jews, the Romas, the homosexuals and thedisabled? I have spoken with Germans who were sickened of their ancestral linksto these horrors. But Americans seem immune despite their record of enslaving Africans,ethnic cleansing of native Americans and exploiting nations struggling todevelop themselves. Now they fight to defend Trump or Biden who used their countryto help Netanyahu and his gang kill 40,000 Palestinians, many of them children.When did nationality and political favourites become more important than being human?

 Marshall, is the ICA monolithic? Can only people who vilify Trump and ignore the lies on the other side consider themselves members or on the march? If so, then I guess I have to bow out

Remember Donald Trump? Well, as of today, he's still running! Sort of.So just why did The Donald give an emergency press conference yesterday from the Mar-a-lago ballroom? Where Trump would normallynever be in the immediate wake of an August hurricane, no less?Short answer: it's ALL fake, folks!Unlike Trump's Bedminster golf club, Mar-a-lago is gold-plated and palatial, evoking subliminal Presidential vibes. Trump can't commandeer the White House, but he desperately needs to project maximum Presidential impact. So--back to Florida, instead of hitting the campaign trail.The short version of Trump's meandering, unscripted, off-the-cuff political diatribe: Trump projects a fake Presidential authority within his peculiar House of Cards that's structured as a fragile bubble of intersecting lies.At the center of his shocking, defensive display of unacknowledged angst is Trump's mental dysfunction of which he is unaware. In other words, Trump's denial of his mental illness, and his inability to see clearly that his propensity to live within a fake, constructed reality serves only his perceived self-interest, is a significant dimension of his mental illness.In short, it's self-destructive, malignant, delusionary narcissism propped up by political sycophants who do know better and armies of gullible MAGA worshippers who would rather believe Trump's Repugnant lies than confront their own personal truth.Trump's not exactly what anyone else would call a "stable genius."Fasten your seat belts, folks! It's already a bumpy election.Marshall Jones
