Lots and none at all it is with the news. So much going on and no way to make any sense out of it. So I decide to spend my Sunday listening to the cricket and baking some bread.
In the lunch break I switch on the telly to see if ZDF can enlighten me. It seems they don’t know what’s going on either, but they did have a montage of the chaos.
I have to feel sorry for a lot of the USAians in the report. The gangster has tipped their lives upside down for no good reason and they don’t know what has hit them.
All of them, every last one, appeals to the constitution. It’s a holy document to them. The last guarantee of their rights.
It’s been clear for a long time that it doesn’t work properly and that some major changes are needed to update it from the pre-industrial world it was written in. Stuff that should be in there is grafted on as law and it ends up as an endless mass of litigation.
But it worked, sort of, until now, because the constitution has installed a convicted fraudster as president. Fortunately it covers itself by insisting the president must swear an oath – on his honour, mind – to uphold the constitution.
I think the USAians should address these issues.
More immediately though, congratulations to India on winning the Champions Trophy!
