Putin and Trump in trouble - danger for all

 It could be that Putin's army is being pushed back and has deep morale problems, plus he has officials from 18 Russian districts calling for him to resign.  

Trump's legal problems grow by the day - from suspicion of espionage using the top secret government documents he stole, to an attempted coup on January 6, 2021, to ... about a half dozen or so other crimes that he is being investigated for. Hard to keep count.

Even though both of these developments are good news, it is also a time to be very wary of very dangerous possibilities when power mad and perhaps mentally ill people are cornered.

Very recently two Putin critics "fell" their deaths - one from a hospital window and one from a "boat". What madness will the dying Putin come up with to keep from being humiliated in Ukraine?  No nukes, please...

And apparently The Former Guy is posting on his wanna-be Twitter site a couple of pictures - one showing a very intimidating looking self with a Q-anon pin on his blue suit and the headline "The Storm is Coming".  For those of us who don't know, "The Storm" is where a military junta captures the federal government in a coup and executes political enemies on TV.  These people are bat-shit crazy terrorists, and he is calling for them to be violent to keep him from prison.  Plus it seems that he is "tweeting" about 50 - 100 "tweets" every morning.  The ravings of a madman.  Very disturbing.

So, I celebrate the fall of these two monsters - I understand how terrified and panicked they are - and I hope and pray that their desperate attempts at survival does not include terrible violence for the rest of us.
