TYRANNY AND DESPAIR - SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

      Every time I think I can address another topic, such as the misdeeds going on here in the Village, that man does it again and the outrageousness of his deeds and his evident plans just rule the day. But yesterday's statements and deeds are just beyond the pale and Dictator Trump is not out of reality guidelines!
     The second federal agency has been gagged, told to stay off social media, not to tweet, not to release any information from the agency. The second one!! And what, do we wait for all to be shut down and then finally recognize that we now have elected a man whose wish and determination is to shut down the country, to eliminate any and all else other than federal power under his control. Nor do we have any person who appears to have the strength and moral rectitude to stand up to him. His craziness, nay, his insanity, has scared all, from business executives to ranking Republicans, all afraid of this crazy man's revenge tactics.
    He has got people believing in his "alternative facts", people saying that of course it is possible for 3-5 million illegal immigrants to vote and that is why he lost the popular vote!! This man cannot take not one thing to show or state that he is not the best, not the boss, not the dictator, not on a TV reality show and not the Czar Ivan the Terrible!! Now he even threatens to "send in the feds" to Chicago. Which feds would that be? By law, by Constitution, no federal troops, no army troops are allowed to operate on American soil. That is for National Guard and that is for the governor of each state to activate - not him! So what, will he then make up a Godzilla monster overwhelming Chicago so he can then say emergency - send in the troops?! Ridiculous, correct? But how far will this man go and how far will we let him, will we allow him?
     So today will be this - "Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow. Among many other things, we will build the wall!" So from which federal program will he hijack the funds? How high is he building? When exactly will we realize that this man has stolen the soul of our country - today supposed illegals and tomorrow the legal immigrants, as he has announced and then what - the citizens and natural born Americans who bother him? He has already raised the bar by arresting journalists from Saturday's march and charging them with felonies!! Yes, huge fines and major time and what did they do? They are reporters and did their jobs and reported the truth even as they are now accused of felonies, of incitement, of looting and arson and anything else this man can get the police to charge them with. Truly we are now in the beginning of a police state and what will we do? Will we just sit by and let it happen or will there be a rebellion, something that looks more likely every day. That is a frightening thought.
     People are trying to take him to court, but what will prevent this tyrant from shutting down the courts? What will prevent him from pushing aside any and all regulations? Today we are losing the protection of federal regulations regarding the environment - "A summary of the actions posted in the Federal Register includes a long list of regulations that include updated air pollution rulings for several states, renewable fuel standards and limits on the amount of formaldehyde that can leach from wood products. President Donald Trump signed a directive shortly after his inauguration on Friday ordering a "regulatory freeze pending review" for all federal agency rules that had been finalized that have not yet taken effect." So I guess we are going to look like Chinese cities what with the smog and masks and as for breathing in fumes, so what, I guess, as long as the Man is happy - and of course Jared as well.
     And speaking of Jared, this man who is supposed to have a magic touch and solve the Mideast problems, how does he respond to the fact that Trump is now pulling away from his promise to move the embassy to Jerusalem. All those people who foolishly voted for his father in law based on that promise - the word of a man who NEVER keeps his word and who is now backing off and away from that promise. What a shock!!
     As for respect of others, this man who boasts of being a predator, who looked at his daughter in a sexual manner, this man has now issued regulations that are attempting to control the lives and yes, the deaths, of millions of women, here in this country and around the world. With his insane blocking of funds for all women's health care in places that might provide abortions, he has condemned women to painful and ugly deaths. He has no care for rape or incest or women's health or fetal abnormalities - nope, what he says goes and that is it. Why would we expect different, this man who refers to women by their genitalia and appears to think that other than his daughter and okay, possibly Tiffany, though does she speak? are not worthy of anything but being liar spokesmen for him or for sexual objectification. 
     Are there no brave souls with the spine to demand that he answer for his crimes, for his evasions, for his lies, for the facts that are hidden in his never released tax returns, for all his conflicts of interests, for his planned use of the federal government for his own benefit and screw the citizens? Is there no one around to say that this man is unfit, mentally incapacitated, to preside over the country? What do we have to do - call up Wonder Woman? Or do we call up all the women and the men who have enough manliness within them to stand by their women and stop this wholesale cancelling of America?
     Read the papers, people. Think about the results and the consequences. Think and wonder where does it all end? Does it even end or can and should we expect far more craziness and illegalities? Should we all be afraid to speak our minds for fear of being charged with made up felonies? Are we to expect the "feds" with black bags at our door?
     But perhaps there is hope and we should not be afraid for after all, we will all be dead, at least 32 million of us, as healthcare is taken away. Always a silver lining, huh?
