Cliffnotes of the Zeitgeist. 77th Edition. A bridge too far?

March 3, 2025

Just watching the reaction, even in the Trumpified GOP, to J. D. Bowman (Vance) berate Ukrainian President Zelensky to be followed by buffoonish Donald Trump do the same, leads me to suspect that this may have been their bridge too far.

Bowman is no doubt waiting for his next transitional opportunity so that he can replace Trump in 2026, which he has a good chance of doing, but if he doesn't pull that off, his political career appears to be shot.  Marco Rubio's has been flushed down the toilet.   And people are now wondering why Donny let his pet attack the sitting President of another nation.  

And more than ever before, there's a lot of commentary regarding Trump being an outright Russian asset.  

An amusing item, I'd note, occurred on  Face the Nation when the moderator asked a Republican Senator why Hegseth ordered cyber operations to stand down.  FWIW, the question didn't make it clear that it was offensive cyber operations against Russia, but the Senator outright said "not so".

Again, it was offensive operations, but, in the words of the sage Bart Simpson, au contraire mon frère.

The 40 year old Bowman took off for Vermont after berating Zelensky and accompanied protesters lining the streets, so now he really gets to enjoy the big time, with that meaning he'll draw protesters on an increasing basis, the way LBJ did in the 60s.  Bowman is used a great deal as a mouthpiece by Donny, whose usual oral utterings verge on babble.

Of course, Trump went on to his nexts brain fart, a strategic crypto reserve for the United States that will include bitcoin and other cyber currencies.

Then he went golfing in Florida, burning up thousands of U.S. tax dollars to do so.

The eclipse of the Mango Sun has been predicted many times, but something shifted over the weekend.  A lot of people don't really want to live in the real estate development world where a spoiled not very smart brat born with a silver spoon in his mouth bases the entire economy on transactions.  And some are beginning to wonder why it is that we're bending over for Putin.

Bowman is probably contemplating his next chameleon like change.  I frankly wouldn't be too surprised to see him routinely denouncing Trump with in a few months.
