Only Time Will Tell

This is July 20th.   It was on this date in 1969 that American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon.  That same day, Richard Nixon, one of America's most inherently dishonest Presidents, was completing his first six months in office.    Today, on the 56th anniversary of the original moon walk,  Donald Trump, another politician whose honesty is often a matter of intense discourse across social media, is completing the first six months of his second term in office.

Nixon entered his second term in office under the long, cold shadow of the Watergate scandal and was forced to resign in shame before that term was complete.  The more he lied and tried to muddy the waters, the deeper he was sucked into the mud.

Trump entered his second term in office under the long, cold shadow of a pedophile pimp named Jeffrey Epstein.  The more he tries to pull himself loose from the public record of his years-long friendship with Epstein, the more hopelessly Trump seems to be stuck in his own political mud.

Will history repeat itself and the United States get to witness its second presidential resignation?  Only time will tell, but it's something fun to think about on these dog days of summer when it's too damned hot to get outside and mow!
