Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

[NOTE: Due to changes I haven't caught on time in the blogging software, all of the 'Original Article' links were nullified between September 11, 2012 and December 11, 2012. My apologies.]

Jeanine Pirro Shocks Critics With Perfect Summary Of Trump... With Just 1 Problem

Jeanine Pirro was very angry on Tuesday that an American president lacked empathy, told lies and made everything about himself.

But no, she wasn’t talking about Donald Trump.

“This guy has been lying from the moment he came on the political scene,” the Fox News host said in a fervent rant about President Joe Biden on “The Five.” “He has a lack of empathy. He is egocentric. He’s got a condescending smirk whenever anybody asks him a question from the press. He’s lying and he’s narcissistic.”

“He’s a narcissist and an egomaniac who’s trying to make it about himself,” she added.

The reason for her fiery tirade? Biden patted and made a remark about a dog while visiting the scene of the devastating Maui wildfire.

Some Republicans have been up in arms over the moment, when the president shook hands with a search-and-rescue dog’s handler, petted the dog and observed that it was wearing boots to protect its paws.

“That’s some hot ground, man,” Biden said.

Social media users thought Pirro’s description was perfect ― for a certain other president, who tossed paper towels into a crowd while visiting Hurricane Maria-ravaged Puerto Rico in 2017, delayed billions in federal aid to the island, undermined public health guidance during a pandemic that killed more than a million Americans, misled the public about the path of Hurricane Dorian to save face after making a mistake (aka Sharpiegate), attempted a coup and told tens of thousands of lies and mistruths during his tenure.
