Sinister Times

I blogged almost triumphally about Trump's electoral defeat. Of course I was premature. The man is not stupid - evil, yes, but not stupid. He had a plan all along and that was so to muddy the clear waters of democracy that enough of his gullible countrymen would believe his lies. Taken at one level (and I have been guilty of this for which I apologise) Trump is the stuff of comedy, but now in what should be his moment of humiliation we see just how dangerous this man is. He seeks to bring the rule of law tumbling down with him and frankly doesn't give a shit. Be afraid. Be  very afraid. Policies do not matter a jot in this scenario - morality does.
