THE MACKEREL TORN THE GONG TORMENTED SEA TRUMP BANNON
Rather like two dying mackerel, flopping around, near each other, on the deck. But they are mackerel, not men.
Yet, they, at least, sense, blindly, if you will, that we, not just they, may have gone down for the count.
One cannot even say as much, about the Democrats, still swimming.
No one knows it here, and won't for some time, I am sure, but we have already in all likelihood given up our dominance on the world stage to an apparent alliance between China and Russia.
Against that enormous fact, American domestic politics, Democratic or Republican, radical left or right, pales, goes white, into utter, and rather pathetic, insignificance....
David Brooks, Thomas L Friedman, etc., are still swimming, nonchalantly in either the Black, the Caspian, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, The Sea of Japan, the South China Sea, or somewhere else.
It doesn't matter where, really, because to a mackerel, the surface, when you hit it, seems flat....
Smell the coffee.
