Akhona ama scandals ke kukho izinto ekumele ukuba ngama scandals. UMelania Trump wanikela intetho ngoMvulo ebeka intetho kaMichelle Obama, engasathethi ke ingoma kaRick Astley (ukuba, njengalezi ntetho, omnye umntu wabhala). Ewe, oko kuhlekisa. Iqabane elihloniphekileyo lomphambukeli elikhankasela umlo wokubukulwa lihlekisa ngokwalo. Ngokunjalo iifoto zakhe zoonografi kumxholo weRiphabhlikhi yeqela lokugxeka imifanekiso engamanyala njengesongelo esikhulu. Kodwa, phakathi kwam nawe, ukuba usekela ukuvota kwakho kwisityholo esingenangqondo somntu otshate naye malunga “nemilinganiselo,” uneengxaki ezimbi ngakumbi kunokuzama ukukhetha phakathi kwamaqela amabini anokutshintshana igama negama elinye kwelinye— kwaye ke, ngenxa yoko, senza sonke.
Kwaye ukuba unokujonga kubusuku bokuvulwa kweNgqungquthela yeRiphabhlikhi kwaye ukhathazeke ngakumbi malunga nobuvuvu bukaMelania kunokuphindwa okungapheliyo kwemfundiso ebambe i-96% yoluntu ngokudelela, ebhengeza ukuba iUnited States yeyona ndawo kuphela emhlabeni. okubalulekileyo, ke uphoswa ihlathi ngenxa yemithi kunye arsenal imipu. Buyela umva kwaye ubukele uVirginia Foxx ecebisa ukuba kuseMelika kuphela umntu oxabisa iintsapho. Okanye bukela uMichael Flynn okhangeleka ephambene esithi "indlela eyonakalisayo yokubeka izilangazelelo zezinye izizwe ngaphambi kwezethu iza kuphela." Emva koko nceda uchithe ixesha elithile uzama ukuchonga zonke izizwe ezinomdla wazo i-United States ibeka phambili kuneyayo. UFlynn, ngendlela, uthe uthanda "inkulungwane entsha yaseMelika." Ngaba isibakala sokuba engazange asibize ngokuba “yiprojekthi” sifanele simgxothe? Ewe, ewe, lifutshane kakhulu kwaye ibinzana eliqhelekileyo ukuba libalwe ngokwenyani njengokukopa, kodwa sele libulele abantu abaninzi ngakumbi kunokaMichelle/Melania. "ilizwi lakho lizibophelelo zakho kwaye uyayenza into oyithethayo kwaye uyasigcina isithembiso sakho.
Kwakhona ngoMvulo iNkulumbuso entsha yaseUnited Kingdom uTheresa May uvakalise ukuba angakulungela ukubulala ikhulu lamawaka amadoda, abafazi nabantwana abamsulwa, yaye wayeya kukulungela ukukwenza oko esebenzisa isixhobo ekusenokwenzeka ukuba ngokwenene ukubulala izihlandlo ezininzi ukuba ezininzi. Ayilohlazo njani elo? Ukuba ebenokuthi “aseMelika” amadoda, abafazi, kunye nabantwana, ungabheja iesile lakho elityebileyo le-french-fry iyakuba lelona hlazo likhulu evekini. Kucingelwa ukuba wayethetha ezinye iindidi zamadoda, abafazi, kunye nabantwana banqanda nasiphi na ihlazo kumajelo eendaba ase-US, njengoko abanye abantu ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka bafanelwe kukufa. Nangona kunjalo, kukho ingxaki ngale nkqubo yokucinga engachazwanga, eyile yokuba isilungisi uMeyi wasisebenzisa kanye yile: "umsulwa." Awunakufumana nakuphi na ukuba msulwa kuno “msulwa,” kwaye lowo ukulungele ukuxhela.
Yaye ngayiphi injongo uTheresa “Iintsuku Ezisixhenxe” ngoMeyi, kwiintsuku nje ezisixhenxe zokuba yinkulumbuso yakhe, ukulungele ukubulala inyambalala yabantu? Ukuze, utsho, aqinisekise ukuba iintshaba zakhe ziyazi ukuba uzimisele, kuba olo lwazi luya kubathintela kwinto okanye kwenye. Ewe kunjalo, uTony Blair walunyukiswa ukuba amazwe ahlaselayo aya kudala ubundlobongela obuchasene ne-UK, angabunqandi. Yaye eso silumkiso sangqineka sichanile. Khawufane ucinge ukuba zingaphi iintshaba uTheresa May anokuba nazo ukuba uqalise abantu be-nuking? Wayeza kuba nelizwe lonke elisindileyo leentshaba. I-ISIS inokuvuthela ibhajethi yayo yonke yokuqesha kwi-self-flagellation okanye nantoni na eyenziwa yi-ISISers ngokuzonwabisa. Inokuba iyagqunywa. Ekuzameni ukukhusela inyukliya yakhe, uMay akagcini nje ngokukopa uGenghis Kahn, kodwa ukopa amabango obuxoki abanduleli bakhe base-US nase-UK, kwaye ekwenza oko ngokungenangqondo njengoMelania Trump.
Xa iSpeyin yahlaselwa luhlaselo lwabanqolobi yaphuma kwimfazwe yase-Iraq, kwaye uhlaselo lwabanqolobi lwayeka. Sisifundo esibalulekileyo eso. Yaye isifundo sikukuba ungenzi nantoni na efunwa ngumxhaphazi. Isifundo kukuba uyeke ukuba yindlavini ukuba awufuni ukuba amaxhoba akho aphinde abuye. ISpeyin ayizange ivume ukwenza ulwaphulo-mthetho olutsha. Yavuma nje ukuba iyeke ukwenza ulwaphulo-mthetho olukhulu. Esi yayisisifundo xa uGeorge W. Bush wakhupha imikhosi yase-US e-Saudi Arabia okanye uRonald Reagan wayikhupha eLebhanon. Kodwa ukuphuma e-Saudi Arabia kwaye ukuya e-Iraq akuzange kucingelwe kakuhle, ngaphandle kokuba injongo yayiyisiphithiphithi.
Kwabakho i-scandal ngoMvulo e-UK. Inkokeli yeLabour Party uJeremy Corbyn ubhengeze ukuba ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi ayisiyondlela ilungileyo yokusingatha imicimbi yamazwe ngamazwe. Bekuya kuba kuhle kuDisemba ophelileyo ukuba iDemocratic Party okanye iRiphabhlikhi Party eUnited States ibinoJeremy Corbyn kuyo. Kulapho uHugh Hewitt weCNN wabuza umgqatswa waseRiphabhlikhi uBen Carson ukuba angavuma na ukubulala amakhulu kunye namawaka abantwana. Ngombulelo omkhulu kaCarson, waphendula ngokuphendula umbuzo kuviwo awayeluthathe kwisikolo sobugqirha apho impendulo yayisandula ukumfikela, emva koko wabhadula ebalisa iphupha okanye into ethile. Kodwa ukubuzwa lo mbuzo, ingcinga yokuba umsebenzi osisiseko kamongameli kukubulala abantu abaninzi khange kubekho sithuko, kwaye akanakuyenza ngaphandle kokuba kukho umntu owuphendulayo ngokukopa uBen Carson.
