It is what it is. That is what I hear from those mainly in power or who support the "ins" right now. Trump is here to stay so shut up and sit down and so is David Israel on a more local playing field. Well, no, that is not the way it is going to be. In Trump's case I will not sit still and allow my country to be sold down the river whilst I sit there and do nothing, say nothing; nor will I allow people to say that the status quo of CV right now, with Israel as president, is the way it must be until he is dead.
So, for the more minor, though still important of the items. David Israel must go. This election must turn out more of his old been there done that yesmen and get ready to oust him in next year's election by voting for his opponent. The man and his crew have brought us to almost rack and ruin and continues to want to do so in the foreseeable future.
This assembly also has a question up for vote. Should we continue to negotiate with Atlantic Broadcasting or with Comcast. Well, the answer is obvious - Comcast is by far the better one but this begs the true question. David Israel is not, NOT, entitled to have opened these negotiations on bringing broadband into the Village on a contractual basis. That is not within the purview of UCO nor was it legal for him to use CSI in an expensive half million dollar contract. Yes, they were used before but that contract was toyt, dead, over and he had no authority to just open it and sign on. Not just my opinion, but that of legal minds as well. So this man must go.
For the larger world. If you did not listen to the news yesterday, you missed a frightening day. The convention of conservatives with all capital letters met and the words that came out of the mouths of speakers left me in a shaking fear.
So Pence says we are going to be free of the Obamacare nightmare. Really. When was the last time he was in the hospital or needed medical care. I hope it was recent, truly I do and for all of these people, but Pence and all those in Congress could care less about we, the people, for they have their own care system, a gold care system, so why the hell worry about others. No, our system is not perfect, nothing is, but it allowed for more coverage than ever and I must say on my own account, that it works. Sometimes it takes longer than it should but in the end, I got what I needed and quite frankly, if not, I would be well on my way to the world to come. So think, folks, think.
Bannon, that son of a bitch hater, has the guts to stand up there in all his glory and tell us there is going to be a new world global order and here in the country a "new political order' even as Trump states or tweets, what the hell is the difference with that man anyway, that this immigration removal process is a "military" operation! It most certainly is for even if the military is not quite out there in uniform yet, there is no difference in the style of the midnight raids, of the fear induced in people, the fright of being separated from their kids, of leaving the house and never coming back, of being snatched off the street, of going back to hell for a broken headlight!
OMG, people, OMG, what more do you need to understand that this is an all out war upon us, upon the country, its principles. No more democracy but a new order. No more free speech or assembly but rather no more "disruptive" behavior. We will have public meetings where Democrats were banned and where does that end? Who else will be banned - so go look in the mirror for that answer. It does not stop.
We get "newspeak". Tax plans will be "phenomenal" but really - how will they be paid for? Flex your backs, people, flex those muscles. Suddenly the extreme positive growth predicted by Trump et al has shrunk to a top of 3% and even that is a no go. They are going to throw out the workers of society. Those who worked at 9/11 sites, or who man the food carts, or who run the bodegas, or who bring the medicines to us in hospital, or who take care of us in the ER, or who answer our legal questions, for all these frightening 'criminals' are targets for the hate of Trump and his crew. The numbers of people subjected to this, who are snatched up, banned at the ports and entry gates of the country, the doctoral students and the street sweeper - they are all the same and meanwhile, not seeing the terrorists within them, are we?
And our government, why they have no compunction about asking the FBI to lie for them, to make up a story that there really was no contact by Russians with any of Trump's people, that it is all a lie, a story. Priebus asked for this and this is against the law. The White House is not allowed to use the organs of government to lie for them. They already did in the election with Clinton's emails, a big whoops! and now they are trying again. And so to cover their error, they have Spicer announce that oh, Trump, will love to meet with Evancho's transgender sister but details have to be worked out. Uh huh. Anyone want a bridge or a tunnel and even if they were to meet, would that make Trump roll back his oppressive statements and rules re LGBTQ and anyone else he has targeted? Nope, don't think so.
So what do we do? “My belief is, we have to resist every way and everywhere, every time we can,” when Mr. Trump offends core American values". So Gov. Inslee said and so must we all.Yes, folks, it is an all out war in every way. So stand in the streets, attend meetings and question the Republican officials there. Demand answers. Vote them out. March. All out war. It is that or we lose the country. Simple, yet not. "Do not go gentle into that good night" - refers not only to the physical death of a person, but also to the death of a political entity, a dream which enlightened the world, which showed that a democracy of equality, of rights for all, could work and could police itself. It could be a place where hatred was not valued and those who did hate had to hide in the dark. Now they are out there and quite frankly, as a Jew, I am terrified at what appears to be growing not just in the view from the rear view mirror but also as I look out and see what is in front of us.
So yes, all out war, all the time, everywhere and anywhere. Talk, protest, march, vote, demand and demand. This is what it has come to. It is what it is? Never. Never.
