I’m not saying an early end to his presidency would not be good. Hell. It might be great. But don’t think we can bank on it. We should keep up the pressure b/c with or without him there’s a mess to clean up.

Yes it is—and probably was when I was there. It’s just that it seems to me that much of England contrives to be somewhat village-y. Even parts of London seem to play to that “ye olde” something-or-other. Our hosts were keen to have us occupied elsewhere during Garden Day.

Dang. I asked google for a list of all the mythical villages in the mythical county of Midsommer and it obliged. There are 22 of them.

We spent two weeks in the UK visiting in and around Bromley in 2017. I must say my tiny and brief experience comports very well with life as depicted in Midsomer Murders—minus all the murder and mayhem of course.

Speaking of C.S. Lewis, in one of his novels the Devil is thwarted from doing major Evil in the Eden of a different planet. So to pass the time he begins wantonly tearing up plants & flowers. Trumplike. Not that he’s thwarted enough here.

So today there was a 3 hour cabinet meeting in which much of the time was spent stroking Trump’s ego. I wonder if they are not physically afraid of what he will do to them and theirs if they displease him? Hard to believe anything else.

Trump reportedly wants to allow 600,000 students from China to study in the US. My first thought: where’s the grift? This is America First? While he’s persecuting and deporting hard-working men and women migrants? But it might be instructive for those Chinese students
