Fixing a Whole

You raise good points, valid points.

I'm old enough to remember Malcolm X don't aim at the puppet, go for the puppeteer. Good advice. I also remember Malcolm saying that rather than fighting on one front, he believed in fighting on all fronts. I always liked that, too.

We are, as the old saying goes, able to do more than one thing at a time. Hence, many of my OP/posts focus on issues other than Trump. In fact, I have one for tomorrow, regarding a Congressional re-election campaign for 2020, which is heating up locally this week. Claudia Tenney, who rivals Trump in being an obnoxious liar and creep -- is at the heart of it.

One of her tactics is to try to reduce support for Rep. Anthony Brindisi on the issue of impeachment. Even Steve Bannon recently was talking about this. Hence, to be helpful to Anthony, it's important that I keep up to date on the impeachment hearing. More, I have friends who ask me what I think Trump is likely to do. As I'm a retired forensic mental health worker, it is natural that I see it in that context. While many others may well have their own insights on this, I'm good with voicing my opinion.

It is true that the mental health experts speaking about the level of danger he represents have done so at a distance. It is the only disorder, of course, where they can accurately do so. If one were to interview Trump in an office, they would know he is a liar and a bag of hot air. But they would need inormation from other sources, including those who know him, those who have investigated him, those who have been victimized by him, and any film or print stories by and about him. It's a good thing that there is so much.

Now, about those puppeteers and their puppets in Congress. Safe to say their primary interest is financial. Martin Luther King, Jr. provided the best model for opporations to catch their attention. There are numerous opportunities for decent people to communicate with them in the only language they speak.
