Stop The Madness

From our political correspondent Dorothy "Lottie" Dawe:

The madness in Trump's America continues.  Here are some recent tweets:

There was this one from Robert Reich about more of Trump's past crimes:

There was this about Trump's laudatory remarks about Robert E. Lee (music to the ears of his white racist supporters):

​There was this oldie-but-goodie from Twitter:

​And this one about a two-year old who was let out of her cage long enough to defend herself in federal immigration court:

However, some of the most circus-like madness came when Ye (a.k.a. Kanye) visited the White House.  Trump was described as speechless and confused.  Ye was just confused (and now he claims he was "used"):

All of the madness -- particularly the starkest madness on the part of Ye -- called to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson's now-classic poem "Such Madness is the wildest Sense" (below on the left).  Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "Much Madness is divinest Sense" (below on the right).

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
 
Such Madness is the wildest Sense –
To a discerning Eye –
Nonsense – and starkest Madness –
’Tis the Majority
And as all this prevails
Dissent – and you are sane –
Concur – you’re straightway dangerous –
Aboard a derailed Train –

By Emily Dickinson:
 
Much Madness is divinest Sense –
To a discerning Eye – 
Much sense – the starkest Madness –
'T is the Majority
In this, as all, prevails –
Assent – and you are sane –
Demur – you're straightway dangerous –
And handled with a Chain –
