As a kid, did you like watching the circus show? I did. And, immensely! Thrill it used to be looking at the nattily dressed women acrobats swinging in the air. Terror mixed with fearful fascination it used to be watching the lion and tiger treats! The best, however, used to be the clown with his chubby cheeks, tomato red. Good he used to be especially at the volte-face.
Despite all my sympathies for the welfare of the circus artists, mostly from poor families and extremely ill-paid, and despite my melting heart of the PETA variety, at times, let me confess, I have missed the circus show. Wanna know why? Yes, it is the clown and his flip-flops!
Don't know how but the Potus seems to have understood my yearning for the fun-filled upside downs. Seriously he seems to have taken that lack in our otherwise tough, drab, sorry lives!
How many volte-face! Almost serially! Releasing Epstein files, China and India, amongst (m)any other countries going almost tariff free now that supermarket racks rattled empty as the earlier trade contracts have gotten over! The H1B visas no longer appear an earth-shattering threat they were presented to be!
Look at the people he is ready to meet. Oh, no, long lost amigo, our very own P.M. pales in comparison with the other guys he wanna be chummy-chummy! Hey, buddy, he is ready to meet Ahmed al-Sharra, a most wanted terrorist! Know the crowning glory though? No, it is neither Putin or their joint Arch Nemesis, Zelensky. But, yess, Sir, Monsieur Mamdani is most welcome, no, not in New York, the citizens have already so mandated, but in the White House, too! Talk of volte-face!
Pratima@They say, in politics, nobody is a permanent pal nor a forever foe! The Trump Way (earlier, my way or no way or high way!)is sure proof of that ancient wisecrack!
Quote of the day: "I remain just one thing," admitted Charlie Chaplin, " and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician."
Word of the day: autocracy Autocracy refers to a system of governance by a domineering person claiming absolute power.
