The Gotham Steel Ex-President

The left and their media allies have gone hysterical because they just can't get Trump.

It’s a bloodbath! Trump turned it up to eleventy! My Gaia, he praised the attackers of January 6th! He wants to be a dictator! You will be a pawn of a regime of unimaginable brutality and cruelty! He said migrants weren’t even human! He has always called for political violence!

Oh, dear me. Trump took a drink of water! You know who else liked water? Hitler! They are the same!

What a crock of hoaxy shite.

You know they are lying, I know they are lying, even they know it but they are too obsessed and addicted to Trump. They can’t quit him. They are willing to destroy their own careers and reputations to say patently false and quite frankly, stupid things.

But that is what we have come to expect from the hysterical morons in the media - all because they can’t get him. If Reagan was the Teflon president, Trump is Gotham Steel of non-stick ex-presidents.

And I use the term “hysterical” for a reason.

In the world of philosophy, there are five generally recognized branches of philosophical thought and inquiry. These are (listed in hierarchical relationship to each other): 1) Metaphysics (the study of existence), 2) Epistemology (the study of knowledge), 3) Ethics (the study of action), 4) Politics (the study of force) and 5) Esthetics (the study of art).

I have seen it described thus: at the root is Metaphysics, the study of existence and the nature of existence. Closely related is Epistemology, the study of knowledge and how we know about reality and existence. Dependent on Epistemology is Ethics, the study of how man should act. Ethics is dependent on Epistemology because it is impossible to make choices without knowledge. A subset of Ethics is Politics: the study of how men should interact in a just and proper society and what constitutes “just and proper”. Esthetics, the study of art and sense of life is slightly separate, but depends on Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Ethics.

Over the past three or four decades, I would argue that a sixth branch has been created – Hysterics. This branch is the antithesis of the previous five branches and as such, is not devoted to any of the prior five branches.

It is the rejection of all logic and and all reason, resulting in total submission to stupidity and raw, animal emotion. This is children, throwing an uncontrollable tantrum in the toy aisle of Walmart.

In the past, it has been an American tradition that one or more of the original five branches kept the lower branches in check but now with the evolution of the Hysterical branch, the least logical rung on the philosophical ladder threatens to saw off all the upper rungs. Devotees of this school of thought are not bound by logic, reason, propriety, self-governance, knowledge, facts, or truth, they feel no shame or remorse and are only driven by emotion with the singular goal of satisfying that emotional need.

In the past, it has always been true that when the Hysterics started to rise, there was enough force expressed from one or more of the other branches to knock it down. Not now. It certainly seems, at least to the casual observer, we have a national government in which both major parties are led by Hysterics.

One would think the shrieks of the Chicken Little mainstream media that everything is evidence the fabulous, golden gilded Trump sky is falling and the Democrats want to impeach, appoint a special prosecutor or bankrupt and jail the former and future President without being able to describe even the smallest of crimes are met .

The Hysterics are in full view. They are rending their hair and gnashing their teeth as they seek validation from their brain dead followers.

It’s a bloodbath.

And it is magnificent.
