Welcome to Bizzaro land. The publishing industry is publishing book after book trying to understand exactly how we arrived at this point in time with a badly and sadly mentally damaged, intellectually challenged person as president along with his crew of ethically challenged incompetent and ill advised people . "Oh beautiful for spacious skies...." Well, forget that if they continue to wreak havoc on the protective legislation and regulations. We will have smoggy skies, a huge ozone layer hole growing ever larger, flooding in the cities, mercury in the water, mountaintops eliminated, fracking causing earthquakes, and hey, what's an oil spill or two, along with cancer spots.
At present, the current crisis of the day Trump style is that paranoid man's tweeting, that incessant tweeting, that he has been subject to bugging of his lines in Trump Tower. And by Obama no less. The man is paranoid and just nuts. He has expressed his anger that Sessions has recused himself. Me too for he should have resigned, along with the rest of them. It seems that the skein of meetings with the Russians goes further and farther than had been known and now, instead of saying "my bad" the man keeps denying and tweeting. He is upset that people seem to be disliking him and his administration. How sad!! How bad!!
But the best part is the amusement that one can get from this whole pathetic situation. First of all, there seems to be something wrong with a number of his supporters. They have cardboard cutouts of Trump which they either salute in the morning or take with them on camping trips, to the movies, etc. These are their own words.Not normal!! Second of all, there seems to be a diminishing number of fans who come out in a pathetic attempt to counter the anti Trump protests.
Second is the laughs we get from SNL, Jimmy Fallon, Samantha Bee, etc. who parody Trump and his crew. I love it for it gets right to the heart of the matter. Humor has always been a method to point out the truth but truth is what Trump would not know if it rose up and slapped him in the face. All he seems to worry about are those 'dangerous" illegals who did not pay parking tickets and instead concentrated on raising good kids, paying taxes and running businesses or getting back at those who poke fun of him. He is hard at work trying to gin up another travel ban and so it will be deja vu once more.
The latest one is Stephen King. He decided to take to the same method of Trump - tweeting and they are quite funny. "Not only did Obama tap Trump's phones, he stole the strawberry ice cream out of the mess locker.'
'Obama tapped Trump's phones IN PERSON! Went in wearing a Con Ed coverall. Michelle stood guard while O spliced the lines. SAD!"
"Trump should know OBAMA NEVER LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE! He's in the closet! HE HAS SCISSORS!"
So I guess the man has some redeeming value for giving a laugh when we need it!! But in any case, where are the facts. It is all shouting and yelling trying to get the attention off of his sins and it will not work. Perhaps people will finally figure out that the Big Lie is exactly that - A Big Lie.
And in the meanwhile there are other issues that need to be addressed. Thank G-d that there is healthcare coverage for if not, this Friday and Saturday morning would have been the end of me. My new cast was on too tight and/or my foot swelled, hugely, inside. My pressure went sky high, the heart was going nuts and I was not in too good a shape. Thank the Lord I have wonderful doctors and on a Friday nite I was able to call them, one on her personal phone, and get some advice. They meshed together as a beautiful whole and by Saturday morning my cast was off, redone and wow! what a difference. Knowing their stuff, they were able to discern that I was still in a safe zone but the cast had to go in the morning. I love these docs! Now, what would have happened if Trump and his Republicans had gotten their way? What would have happened if Ryan had his way and ripped apart Medicare? And make no mistake about it, these sanctimonious congressmen and senators are not dismantling their coverage. Oh no! Heaven forbid! Their coverage is platinum! Some people are just more equal than others.
Well, at least I saw a great show last nite with over a thousand other people, watching a set of talented twins impersonate singers and one could swear that that singer was there, especially the female ones. The most touching moment though was when one of the twins sang a personal song re his relationship with his dad who had trouble accepting a gay crossdressing son though he was loaded with talent and was making a living doing this in partnership with his twin brother.
Why we all have to hate the different, the other, I do not know. We waste so much energy and time hating that we cannot get into solving our problems. As for the country, the nation, the only road I see is to try this administration for treason, for perjury and bring on a new administration. As for our local situation, the only way to proceed is for David Israel and his fellow haters and extremists to accept that the tide is changing, that it will continue this way into the future. We are demanding answers for we will not sit by and let him have his way and no other way. We will watch the bucks, the budget and bring our Village back to a better place. So, David, try working with people instead of calling perfectly reasonable people malcontents or disruptors or what word you choose for your word of the day. Try interested people, people looking to better the Village, intelligent people looking for answers, for asking questions is not disruptive and if you feel it is, well, tough. As for being malcontent with a situation, well, that is the right thing to do, to step up and try to fix it.
Perhaps if you and yours would come to a show every once in a while and sing along you would realize how much more power there is in bringing people together rather than trying to keep them apart and riled up. Try it, you might like it.
See ya at the next Executive Board meeting.
