The Presidential Oath of Office
October 24, 2019
To the best of my Ability...
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
When reading the oath and the "to the best of my Ability" qualifier I think a good case can be made that the buck does not stop at the oval office for DJT. There is no responsible party there!
As an analogy: If parents let their eight-year-old drive their car, knowing full well that he is not competent to do this task and there is a good chance he may harm himself and others, they will be held accountable for accidents that are caused by the non-qualified driver at the wheel. Transferring this to #(44+1) a lot of the responsibility lies with the Congress men and women, and Senators, who keep the non-qualified "driver" behind the wheel. Whatever their motivations are, they MUST be held accountable by their constituents for their irresponsible support! To scold the kid after the bodies are piling up does not absolve the reckless parents of their responsibility!
After a record-breaking voter turnout, the US learns on November 7th that Joe Biden will become the next President. After a long time without any positive news out of the Trump White House - aside from many Corona tests of staff and Trump himself - the US can now look forward to a president who understands his role in the system, and who is willing to be guided by science, reality, and truth.
Pandemic Panic Vision 2020. US vs. US. A Government hollowed out, relying on a few acting officials not getting their act together. A President acting out. “I take full responsibility!--- It is not my fault.” A Virus out of control. Children in cages, so well taken care off. Parents lost. Losers! Soldiers sacrificed their lives. Losers! A President rounding the corner. Adding conservative Judges. Transforming the Justice Department into “Just His” Department. An investigation. A perfect call. Witch hunt! Which Hunter? Hunter Biden. I would like you to do us a favor. Roy Cohn on steroids turns into Bill Bar. Too much testing. The President is sick of testing. The President is sick. People get sick from testing. Stop the testing. The Virus is out of control. The President is in a bunker. The President listens to Fox News. Fox News listens to the President. A closed loop. Reality cannot enter. Reality is for idiots. Idiots believe in science. The President holds a Bible. Teargas. No! Pepper Spray. Definitions. Freedom! Free Michigan! No masks! The Virus is out of control. "Don’t let the Virus control your life!" You cannot breathe! The Virus ends your life. Loser! It is morning again in America. A child cries.
Have you ever thought about how the use of the decimal number system diminishes your perception of large numbers? These days we hear about trillions of $US in bail-out money, or tens of thousands of deaths in the Covid-19 crisis. At https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily you can find data about the death count. As of 4/24/2020 a total of 45786 is shown. What does this mean? How did we get here? In the beginning there were just a few deaths, represented in a single digit (1-9). Then we had to add another digit to count the next 90 fatalities. (10-99) Then we had to add another digit to count the next 900 fatalities. (100-999) Then we had to add another digit to count the next 9000 fatalities. (1000-9999) Then we had to add another digit to count the next 90000 fatalities. (10000-99999) To the eye and our perception, adding another digit becomes less and less significant. At some point it is almost impossible to see a difference. For example, what is the difference between Debt1=$US 100000000000 and Debt2=$US 1000000000000? Looks pretty much the same, doesn't it? To help your eyes, and save you the counting let me write it on two consecutive lines: Debt1=$US 100000000000 Debt2=$US 1000000000000 The difference is zero. One zero added on the right in Debt2, i.e. the second number is ten times larger. Debt2 is 1 Trillion $US. But do you have any idea how much money that is? How does the happiness of 2 Billionaires compare to the happiness of 2000 Millionaires? Both groups have the same money ... To properly appreciate large numbers we must not look at them just as a decimal number! The following text shows you all the 45786 Covid-19 fatalities as of 4/24/2020 as a cross "+" . Each one represents a life that was lost, and family and friends who are mourning. If there is family. Decimal numbers allow to hide a lot of pain and suffering! At some point ten times the pain does not make any difference. Please scroll through the following list and consider each "+" in its significance.
Sometimes in life it is difficult to see patterns when everything appears uniform. Our little friend in the picture above is a great example. In many cases corruption may be similarly hard to see. Think about how many United States politicians are paid significant campaign contributions from big businesses like pharma companies. After they are elected they then have to vote on laws that drive the business of their contributors. But then that is called "lobbying". In the end all comes down to the question of what the meaning of "is" is. Or what a "perfect" call was! Politicians take money from the rich and votes from the poor to protect them from each other!
