[What a fucking child](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-retweets-meme-himself-eclipsing-obama-twitter-frenzy-n795526). Trump, if you truly want to compared to an eclipse, just remember it lasted only 3 hours. That’s going to be the equivalent of your length of time as president if you don’t start thinking realistically. ---

Oh, dear – it seems that Donald’s new Twitter friend [wishes that there weren’t so gosh darn many Joooos in his neighborhood](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4819750/Trump-retweets-eclipse-image-blocking-Obama.html) (which doesn’t mean that he isn’t “very fine people”). He also dismisses the risk of eye damage from watching the eclipse without protection as “fake”, which may explain [this](http://www.iflscience.com/editors-blog/people-captioning-photos-of-trump-staring-at-the-sun-during-the-eclipse-are-hilarious/). ---

Without it the entire planet would be quite different. Possibly as different as it is now that Trump is violating all possible mores, norms, and taboos of American political life. ---

We need the moon to balance the sun. It is earth to sky, yielding to rigid, dark to light, feminine to masculine, silver to gold, Artemis to Apollo, yin to yang. Sorry, I’m Irish. Mystic poet, poetic mystic, an’ all that shit. ---

Well, Trump just pardoned Joe Arpaio, as Trump said, via the White House: “after more than fifty years of admirable service to our Nation, he is worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon,” Yeah, admirable service that had critical editors of the local press arrested and then released because the charges were stupid, for wasting time and state money with other stupid abuses of power, for doing racial profiling, abusing prisoners, for investigating the wife of the judge in his last trial. Trump’s Bird of a feather indeed, no wonder Trump loves him. And as I pointed before: what Arpaio did in Arizona Trump expects to do for America. ---
