Trump to Lie

Time zones.  I guess it’s my own fault, I shouldn’t be so obsessed about American politics.  It’s not as if I live there.  One the other hand, I count on my  social security check, so I don’t want to screw that up, and we only have 12 years left to save the planet and the U.S. is one of the countries that could do the most to make that happen, or the reverse.  It actually looks like the president of Brazil  is determined to destroy the world all by  himself, but China, and some other countries, are doing some pretty  cool stuff.  But, I’m getting off topic.
All day on Facebook,  people  have been  talking about Trump’s speech tonight, but it’s midnight now and I’m going to  bed and it  still isn’t going to happen for  a couple of hours, so I will read all about it in the morning, and I guess that’s good enough.  Maybe better.  There will have been time for everybody  to  sift through it and make the obvious jokes, there will  have been an ‘official’ Democratic rebuttal, which will probably be lame (they should let Rashida Tlaib give the rebuttal – sparks would fly) and Bernie Sanders will have had time to give his rebuttal, which will be heartfelt and logical.
I don’t think there will be any surprises.  I don’t think he will declare martial law, or try to appoint himself dictator for life.  I also don’t think  he will use the speech to announce his resignation. That would be awesome, but it would be totally out of character.  No, he’ll talk about how much we need the wall, and blame the shutdown on the Democrats, and  lie a lot and say some things that are incoherent.
It has all  become very predictable.
