Dear Claire....

I hope you’re right but would not bet my mortgage on it.

I read your most recent post this morning at https://claireberlinski.substack.com/p/from-the-berghof-to-the-oval-office .

How's Claire doing? I hope she sought out treatment for her TDS . . .

Thank you for this. I follow her on Twitter and have just subscribed to her Substack.

Nowhere does she state that Trump is Hitler. She provides a description of what happened on Friday that captures the outrage, shame, and revulsion felt by many, including me. Simply appalling.

I believe what we saw earlier today in the Oval Office was the single most shameful moment in American history. There have of course been other shameful moments. We have betrayed our allies before. But never before have we done it while bullying and humiliating them in front of the entire world because we thought it would make “good television.” Never before have we turned the Oval Office into a spectacle so classless that even Tony Soprano would have vomited to see it. Never before have we done this for no reason but the benefit and pleasure of the murderous enemy of the United States who is chortling and dangling our president’s puppet strings. Never before have our leaders appeared so indescribably ignorant, so galactically self-absorbed, so petty and petulant, so obviously and dangerously unfit and unstable, so preposterous, and so menacing. Never before have they publicly betrayed us, declaring, before our eyes, their allegiance to an enemy who has been working incessantly to discredit our form of governance, reduce our power to insignificance, set us at each other’s throats, and murder us. Trump declared his allegiance to Putin publicly while his repulsive sidekick smirked and preened, and not one person in that room had the guts to say, “That’s enough, a******s. This is the People’s house.”
