One of the sureties of the last 5 years for newspersons, opinion columnists or bloggers was Donald J. tRump. Even if there was no other news in the world, tRump could and often did fuel enough outrage for a column. A single tweet would fell acres of trees or trillions of electrons in service to righteous indignation. Now, with a lifetime Twitter ban hanging over his head, Cheatolini is becoming less and less relevant as we advance into the boring Biden era.
Competence, fairness and good government are no match for the dysfunctional tRump follies. While the average man in the street may actually start to enjoy living in 21st century America, his counterpart in the pundit industry is slowly pulling his hair out (or not in my case). What to do? Of course there are numerous problems confronting us, from environmental disaster to speculation of the Tampa Bay football team's prospects to the Covid 19 crisis. Still, it's far easier to crank out a few hundred words either praising or blaming the most polarizing figure in the country if not the world.
