FEUD

The infamous feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford was the ultimate fodder for gay slapstick.

Now the fracas surrounding the end (?) of the bromance between Elon and Donald fills the media with biting comments. Both individuals share the same contempt for decorum, self- control and their "followers" at large. The deluge of contempt was to be expected.

This unstable president likes to be surrounded by props and we see the dammage done, day after day. Elon Musk saw himself as the power behind the throne.  After all, he has the means to blackmail the establishement into surrender. His other high-tech colleagues don't fare any better in the growing revolt against the free ride they are receiving.

The comments verge on disbelief that the Oval Office, with its nouveau riche facelift, becomes a circus act for all to see. Musk played the game for a while but he underestimated the envy of the dumb sycophants who resented the intrusion of the richest man in the world.

Imagine how the Chinese and the Russians look at the unraveling of America's dignity. The White House got a shot in the arm, mostly during the Kennedy and Obama years. Now it becomes the set for a Marx Brothers remake. Trump's plans also to build a ballroom, to put a finishing touch on his Las Vegas style.

The antagonism is not that surprising. What is new is the absolute lack of restraint and taste that further undersores the descent of MAGA  America in the Stephen Miller/Janine Pirro & Co.'s orbit. 

The meeting between Trump and the new German Chancellor was the perfect example of the style of this American "regime" copied (poorly) on the Berchtesgraden model. One talks and the other is ignored, if he is not from El Salvador.

Today the National Guard is mobilized in California. Does that ring a bell?
