(#6302) For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee!

      I have been considering causse and effect lately more than usual. We have all seen the polling lately and it is going backwards in popularity for trump. Not that he would admit of course and that is another reason I see some hope on the horizon. He won't admit that he isn't the most popular person on the planet. Now if he could acknowledge reality then he would know for a fact he is if not the most unpopular person in the world at least in the top two, along with his pal putin. My hope stems from his inability to assess reality concerning his agenda to upset and unsettle our democracy. His ineptitude to me is the only thing keeping the many of us as yet safe.
     As morbid as this may sound another reason is his advancing age and the problems that accumulate with that advancing age. He is less his usual incompetent self and that is good for we the people in that he cannot sustain his dislike for we the people very long and is easily distracted due to obvious mental difficulties. So when I first thought about what this post was going to be about the bell tolls idea immediately popped into my mind. Of course Ernest Hemingway entitled his book with the phrase. But like all good literature it lives on past it's initial story. To me the bell is time ticking down on a creature too obscene to be called a human being. I know that is harsh but so is his dislike for we the people!
     In my own life I know that decisions I made back in my earlier life were eventually going to have a determination as to my time at the end of my life. We are all witnessing the effects of trump's decisions in his earlier life come full circle. He is decaying before our eyes and his time is tolling. What will he do to we the people before he can no longer punish us with his condescension? Will we be able to put the brakes on his final attempts to force his will on the rest of us? The answer is coming soon and I for one am ready to stand against any and all of his flailing throes no matter how much he desperately tries to grind us down like with a pestle and mortar!
