My reaction to the Trump verdict is pretty simple. This is about previously shared *tacit* understandings needed for the functioning of a free society.

The current case and verdict seems similar to the Bork confirmation battle from almost 40 years ago: it is a sign of the breakdown of previous *shared* tacit understandings between the parties that made the US both strong and functional.

To the Democratic Party leadership, Trump represents the breakdown of an understanding that the parties not allow a populist outside their perception of a window of allowable candidates. This is akin to *their* contention in 1987 that Bork represented a nominees outside the tacit agreement not to nominate extremists. Thus they mounted a new campaign of extraordinary measures to enforce their perception.

To the Republican Party, the Democratic leadership is innovating never before seen warfare and immoral tactics by *initiating* extraordinary warfare in violation of the tacit agreement to accept the Republican Party’s right to propose reasonable candidates without hysterical bed-wetting behavior. They believe the Democratic Party is breaking the tacit agreement not to prosecute presidents or pursue legal action as part of a campaign.

Leaving the issue of who is right aside temporarily, what is happening is the acceleration of the continuing breakdown of *SHARED* **TACIT** ASSUMPTIONS. These are the backbone of our previously functional country. They are not written down. You can’t look them up

Trump and Bork are nominees portrayed as madmen by one side, that are so extreme as to require extraordinary measures. Democratic hardliners will celebrate. What will come back is a series of prosecutions by Republicans that the Democratic Party will see as evidence that Republicans are inexplicably evil.

As for what I believe? I think the Democratic Party leadership is acting like shortsighted decisions to open the doors to hell don’t matter because many are in their 80s and aren’t going to be around long enough. And they don’t care enough about their own children or their country to care about the world they leave behind after their demises. I have always said that Trump poses an existential threat. Biden joined that club a while back. He should be removing himself at his age and in his condition and Kamala should not be a heartbeat away from being commander in chief of the world’s pre-eminent thermonuclear power.

What do I want? It’s laughable. I sound delusional.

I want all these people gone, removed by their parties’ middle aged wise men and women so that we aren’t forced to play this out. I want some vital person in their 40s with military and government experience and a technical background to be in the Oval Office giving the speeches needed to restore our nation. I don’t care which party at this point. Someone who has seen action and loves America. I don’t care the party, the race, the gender, the sexual orientation or anything else at this point .

The fact that such a vision admittedly sounds insane…even to me….tells you everything about how these people have shifted our tacit understandings of ourselves. We have accepted madness.

Adults would never have let this happen. The aged, ironically, have simply cleared out *all* the adults.

How do you ask a badly misbehaving Octogenarian: “Is your mother or father at home?”

I am more concerned with my children at this point than either Biden or Trump. We are going to play this out as we did Bork for our foreseeable future. It’s so insane.

@KOAA This is a relief (but seems like a bad day to do a prescribed burn).

Whew... (but seems like kind of the wrong day for that)

Is this smoke blowing over Mountain Shadows again or just my PTSD?
