My melancholy earlier this year prompted me to learn how to play and sing Mr. Simons song. It truly does fit the current circumstances, although I suspect it was other things that inspired Paul to write it. I wonder what, if anything, he thinks about what is now happening to our country.

I certainly don’t think America is dead, Washington is not America. I know there is a lot of talk about a civil war, but I pray that it will not happen. It won’t be like the first one, it will be like the Spanish Civil War. With many, many factions fighting. It will be very, very bad. I do prefer “Irish Democracy”.
All that I’ve read from the people who espouse violence, it will be an asymmetric fight. Which means that it will, once again, be horrific.

I’ve loved the Paul Simon song for years. It owes a lot to JS Bach.

The song fit the mood and malaise of the Seventies, and it fits the present era as well. The difference is that back then, a generation that had great belief in the country was disappointed and disillusioned. Today, things are worse, but most people aren’t paying attention. The media that told Americans to be shocked and disgusted fifty years ago tells them not to worry now: Trump is the enemy and so long as he’s kept out of office everything is fine.

It’s just that Democrat voters love it, applaud it and celebrate it.

Yes because unfortunately they don’t get what the point of what happened in Animal Farm to Boxer. (Or more probably they think they’re one of the pigs but they’re really boxer.)

The Biden thing looks like a failure to adequately investigate. It’s as fishy as the day is long, but the comparison is going to suffer a bit because the facts about Trump’s antics are going to come out sooner rather than later. I suspect it will be decades before we know what Biden has been up to. The National Archives played a role in this. The NARA refused to assist in the collection of the Trump records for national archive holding and review, and then the NARA triggered a sequence of events that led to the DOJ using a reference from the NARA, to weaponize a process they refused to engage in. The NARA refused to do their specialized bureaucratic job, and then the NARA used what they defined as an incomplete job as a reason to refer the outcome to the DOJ. The details are quite interesting. The letter details how the DOJ-NSD then weaponized the process, fought with the FBI investigative and supervisory agents who were saying Trump was doing nothing wrong, and then culminating in a documented lie to the Florida magistrate, in order to get a politically motivated search warrant. The last four administrations had temporary storage arranged for records by NARA. Trump did not.

WHEN DID THE BIDEN BANANA REPUBLIC COMMENCE?

His first day in office when he signed all those executive orders. It signaled that his administration would place ideology over the good of the people.

In effect, he was saying to hell with your jobs and livelihoods and your quaint taboos and the rule of law and your insistence on merit.

“Virtually everyone on the right has known for quite some time that our system of justice has become wholly political.”

Change that — everyone on both the right and the left has known. It’s just that Democrat voters love it, applaud it and celebrate it.
