I think this question could get me arrested or at least banned from going back to the US. As they say tread carefully, Kev. This does not need to be a long post. One guy stands alone as a disease to the world. It is appalling what I see and hear daily. It is a travesty to the world and an embarrassment to a country that has stood for so much and given so much. To look at this guy and hear him makes me sad and ashamed to be an American. It is hard for me not to speak my mind. I am not somebody who pulls punches. I read a lot of history, I follow politics closely, and I can’t believe what I see and what this country and some of its citizens now accept as normal. I’m not sure this can be fixed. Enough said. Who could it possibly be? Let me know what you think.

About Kevin, I spent 40 years in FinTech before retiring to
Rio de Janeiro to trade software releases for a front-row seat
to the beautiful absurdity of life in Brazil. This blog is my digital
porch, a place for unpolished commentary on book reviews,
daily gripes, and the random thoughts of a guy who finally has
the time to pay attention. I’m an observant realist with a deep
appreciation for history, a good quote, and the perspective that
only comes after the career ends. I write to stay sharp, to stay
honest, and to keep the conversation going.

I have never been one to use profanity or take God’s name in vain. At 74 years of age, I come from an era when people, particularly women, did not use such language. Looking back, I guess it was a more genteel age, although I wouldn’t have thought so at the time. Current circumstances, initiated by a certain malignant narcissist man-baby has caused in me what is known in spirituality as “the dark night of the soul.” I now talk like a sailor on leave and have taken God’s name in vain several time (to my great shame).

I think I know who you are talking about. My brother and his family live in northern Sweden and they won’t come and visit me as long as he is President. I have to visit them.
