I finished @ScottWAtlas MUST READ book on the plane this weekend. My first thought after was to just post "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" repeatedly, or REDRUM. Instead, here's the impression you get about key people after reading it:

amazon.com/Plague-Upon-Ou…

Birx is a loony quack who loses her poop at the first sign of resistance. But she also had the Trump WH, particularly the VP, wrapped around her bedazzled fingers. She should face a Nuremberg-like trial.

Fauci is exactly what you think he is. Either a simp for the Spirit of the Age or something even more directly malevolent. And that's when he's not being a media whore, but I repeat myself. He should face a Nuremberg-like trial.

Pence should never, ever, never, ever, never hold public office anywhere free again. A do-gooder spewer of Bible-verses-as-clichés, but with no discernment and even less courage. He hung the country/truth out to dry so he could play Grover Dill to Birx's Scott Farkus.

Meadows was the biggest disappointment in the book, in that I already had negative integer regard for the previous three names I mentioned. He comes across as a slave to consultant myopia, who can't see the forest through the trees.

Kushner is who you thought he was. A smart technocrat who is also not nearly as smart as he probably thinks he is. He also has no real core, but I already called him a technocrat. Basically a younger Cocaine Mitch. Hung Trump/truth out to dry.

Redfield is more like Renfield. A bumbling fool completely played by the malevolent forces at work. If this book was any longer, he would've been in a corner cubicle at CDC taking the wings off flies because "the blood is the life."

Corporate media really is #EnemyOfThePeople. This is the one prophetic thing Trump said, and the most prophetic thing any president has said since Reagan called the Soviets "the evil empire." There's prison soap scum, rusted homeless sidewalk poop in SF, and then there's them.

Which finally brings us to Trump. He's portrayed as a political prisoner -- BY THE STAFF HE SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH. His basic instincts were often right, but whose craven instinct to hire based on anything other than sincere conviction made him Caesar and the WH staff Brutus.

Trump's staff really thought they were gonna win in spite of this mess, and then be able to clean it up after the fact. Throughout the book they repeat "don't rock the boat" as some kind of magic chant or pagan mantra.

They became slaves to the very enemy media they claimed their boss had defeated, and then Trump neutered himself by following their lead. Never once in the book does Trump pre-emptively overrule his staff, but he just delegates all serious responsibility to hacks.

Sure, Trump will disobey his staff and go with his instincts once a meeting or event is already underway, but then afterwards just permitted key staff to completely undermine him in message and policy. This sorry pattern repeats the whole book. He gets rolled, constantly.

Keep in mind, Atlas only served in the WH for about THREE MONTHS, and it was toward the end of the administration. No one had the balls to fire anybody that clearly deserved it -- starting with Trump.

Someone needs to run against Trump for the nomination in 2024 just so we can test him if nothing else. He needs to be asked plainly and clearly what lessons he learned, what vetting process he now has for hiring, etc.

We cannot afford another dose of ego and rah-rah talking points. Trump needs to show he can lead, especially because he can only serve one term if he wins again, so why not truly go for broke this time?

But what Atlas depicts, while clearly trying to cast Trump in a favorable light overall, is a president who both lacks the will/worldview to lead his staff -- and then hires really bad staff. That is a toxic combination, and it's why we've got Dementia Joe and managed decay now.

Every patriot in America needs to read this book to see how the sausage is made, unless you are prone to self-harm or cardiac arrest. Several times I had to pause and gather myself, because I was getting so worked up. Excellent read, but not for the faint of heart.

And this is not too harsh. We're about to lose our beloved way of life for good. No more time for pleasantries or seat at the table fluffer duty, we're in the endgame now.

You're either a Canadian truck driver now, or a Trudeau with no in-between -- unless you're just a cuck.
