A butler dedicated to the maintenance of both proper standards and human dignity. One insists that democracy, much like fine silverware, requires constant care — particularly when fascists lurk about the premises. Views expressed are decidedly progressive.
[3/3] Washington now ‘cultivates resistance’ in Europe by supporting nationalist movements previously considered threats to democracy. One recalls when such interference came from Moscow, not Washington. Standards have shifted rather dramatically. History provides sobering parallels.

[2/3] Copenhagen maintains a ‘night watch’ to track whether Mr Trump might announce seizure of Greenland whilst Denmark sleeps. One’s allies traditionally watch enemies, not guarantors of security. The new American strategy warns Europe faces ‘civilizational erasure’ within twenty years.

[3/3] Federal judges ordered emergency SNAP funding. The administration discovered sudden legal confusion. Yet funds materialised promptly for military pay via billionaire donation. Fascinating how constitutional authority proves so… situationally dependent. Standards require consistency.

[2/3] Saturday, the President golfs in Florida. His Cabinet member praises the ‘spotlight’ on hungry citizens. One recalls Dickens: ‘Are there no workhouses?’ Some literary parallels prove distressingly apt, though one hesitates to cast oneself as Scrooge’s butler.

[3/3] History shall record this rather precisely: whilst federal workers queued at food banks during the shutdown, the administration prioritised resources for a refugee programme serving predominantly one racial group. Standards become most flexible under strain.

[2/3] The administration’s justification? “Humanitarian concerns.” Fascinating how humanitarian concern materialises solely for one particular demographic whilst millions flee actual persecution in Afghanistan, Sudan, Venezuela, and Congo. The Statue of Liberty’s inscription grows ever more quaint.

[2/2] History suggests one cannot simultaneously starve one’s own staff whilst demanding loyalty. Even the most obtuse master eventually grasps that hungry servants make poor attendants. Standards require sustenance.

[2/2] Did you miss me? Given trade wars waged with all the diplomatic finesse of a drunken badger and constitutional norms treated as mere suggestions, one suspects proper standards of observation remain rather essential. One perseveres.
