Follow the threads and you soon see a pattern.
The tapestry of ignorance, misperceptions, threats and lies gets larger and clearer every day, weaving more credence to the notion that the current president of the United States will be impeached, convicted and removed from office.
Soon the picture will be as complete as a set of medieval weavings with a story to tell.
Meanwhile, he adds presidential approval to a growing list of behaviors that no civilized society tolerates. This week he told a gathering of police officers in New York, "Don't be too nice" to suspects taken into custody, in effect telling them it's a good idea to routinely beat up people who have not been charged, much less convicted of any crime or misdemeanor.
Earlier, he reminded a gathering of 40,000 Boy Scouts of a friend's crude behavior toward women attending a party aboard the millionaire friend's yacht.
During the campaign, he encouraged supporters to "rough up" protestors, thus inciting violence.
So this president is in the habit of proclaiming that it's OK for police to beat up suspects as they "throw them into the paddy wagon," that it's OK to molest women, that crude behavior aboard a party yacht is acceptable, and that members of the U.S. Senate better do as he says or the state they represent will suffer consequences.
Meanwhile, he threatens and insults federal investigators looking into allegations of crimes and misdemeanors perpetrated before, during and after the election.
All the while, he proudly proclaims, "I can be very presidential."
Good idea. When do you plan to start?
