A New Golden Age

More like a new Stone Age.  It is a particularly unwelcome irony that Trump (not my President)'s second inauguration is on the same day as Martin Luther King Jr Day.  What Martin Luther King Jr stood for is the very antithesis of what Trump stands for.  I'm probably going to be blogging a lot about Trump over the next 4 years.  But I'm going to concentrate on actions and not words.  Because Trump is a blowhard.  A lot of what he says is incendiary and offensive - but actions speak louder than words, and the things he and his administration actually do are significantly more impactful than whatever nonsense he spouts.  Rest assured, I did not watch his inauguration.  I don't care about the crowd size, something I'm sure he will rail on about.  And the people who attend or perform at his inauguration should be ashamed of themselves - including a number of predictable sycophants: Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Joe Rogan and various crappy country music "stars".  As I write this, he hasn't announced any executive orders yet - but I suspect they are coming.  And they will undoubtedly antagonize and infuriate so many of us.  America is now heading in the wrong direction, and everyone apart from the 1% is going to suffer.
