I really love Dr. Lars Bangert Struwe’s phrasing

The progress of the process has become too problematic

“I am an experienced public diplomacy lecturer who always represents his country well.”

And who refers to himself in the third person, unusual for an experienced lecturer.

When the progress of the process has become problematic, there is no point in putting on the party.

The sick pettiness of these people knows no limit. Cringe-inducing and dreadful.

The pettiness having become unbecoming, the process has been postponed in perpetuity.

No.

I am overwhelmed by the support I have been receiving after my participation in celebration of NATO’s 70th anniversary was vetoed by the American Ambassador to Denmark.

Put this in the category of one can never say anything bad about dear leader Trump. It is outrageous that the State Dept. is limiting the free speech of American citizens.

You mean to tell me the guy who hightailed it out of London after being mocked by his peers won’t allow a policy expert who may be critical of him to speak publicly?

Each snowflake may be different, but none quite so delicate as the Bronx bronzer.

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Trumpymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Just peachy. Impeachy, that is.

This regime is an aberration of History. One which will serve as a Cautionary Tale. Those who would save our Nation are needed.

We are so much more informed and engaged than we were just a few months ago when we were wondering about an Impeachment Inquiry.

If anything, the Trump Era should spark Americans to take voting and other political participation more seriously, as well as spur a renewal of interest in objective journalism.
