First, the staffer of Brain Mast was in the Okeechobee branch library today but hidden away in the small conference room with a lack of signage or complete knowledge of the staffers who told some people that they were not there. The staffer told me they will be trying to set up visits at least once a month with better signage available. Take advantage of these community visits to ask questions and get help. Come on April 1 to the Town Hall at 11 in Room C and ask your questions of Brian Mast himself. If we do not speak up, if we do not come, then what are we saying to the politicians and the people out there? That we do not care? That we are to be ignored?
ATTEND THE TOWN HALL.
Now back to business. Wow, are we lucky. Not only do we have Jared Kushner as an unpaid employee of the federal government, a seemingly indispensable cog in the Trump machine, but now we will also have Ivanka, the daughter of Trump, as another unpaid federal employee, able to see all sorts of secrets and guess what? The royal family of America triumphs again as they follow the road of all dictatorial families and try to install their relatives in offices and positions of power. Forgive me if I am wrong but I surely do think that this stinks to the high heavens of nepotism and that, my friends, is illegal. Wow, another crime committed by Trump. Such a shock! Excuse me while I choke!!
But back at the ranch things are not looking so good are they? Jeb Bush basically told Trump to get off his sick tweets, the ranting and raving about things that are not true and get on with the proper business. That would be a good idea but there are issues there, are there not? Let's see. Okay, so they stymied the House investigatory committee about Russia/Trump but there are still the Senate hearings at which Sally Yates will testify despite the fact and effort of the Justice Department - what a misnomer that is at present -and wonder what will come out of that. And do not forget the investigations of the FBI with all the information to come out there, a very serious investigation and allegations. Cannot wait, but people, what happens if there are indeed traitors at the helm? Sure, we can try for treason but can you imagine all these people in the dock, eligible for the death penalty and then who heads the government? Where does the taint end? A mess beyond words.
What else is new in the daily messy news? Oh, right, all those jobs "saved" by Trump at Carrier? Uh huh! "The Carrier fan-coil lines and related jobs will be gone by the end of this year" and so will thousands of other jobs in the region. So much for help and boasting of things for the working people. And guess what, while they are losing their jobs they will also lose their healthcare as the Party seems to be insisting on reviving it, they will not have SNAP to help for food for the kids, or funds for schools or money for retraining. Good job, Donny!! And double that lie for the coal miners whose jobs are already lost to automation and then again, think of the useless promises of Trump even as he goes about destroying our planet. And in the meanwhile, remember that boasting of Trump that he would have the biggest coalition of gun enthusiasts ever, a typical boast - well, it ain't here!! As usual, another fake lie. Oooh, is that fake news? Got to check with the fake media!
The best news ever? Donald Trump can have his pants sued off him! Ugh - that picture in the mind! Anyway, back when Bill Clinton was sued by Paula Jones, the case "went all the way to the Supreme Court, which held in a unanimous decision in 1997 that executive privilege did not protect a sitting president from lawsuits filed against him for private conduct." Oh yeah! Trump now has about 75 outstanding suits against him, private suits as well as other ones that insist he is going about all thing the wrong way. Don't ya' just love it!! Now they want to say that this cannot be - just ask that genius, Spicer.
Trump thinks that he is above the law and yet as President he should be setting an example for the entire country but what he is showing is that one can do whatever the hell one want to so guns are being unsheathed and hatred is growing by leaps and bounds and humanitarian funds are disappearing and ethics seem to have no place in this administration. In fact, it appears that the fewer ethics one has, the better off one is.
So what else are we doing in our once lovely country that is supposedly being made Great again? Let's see....oh, there ya go. We are deporting the wife of a disabled vet and the mother of four American born citizen children, one being brain damaged as a result of surgery as a child. Well, good going there all you Republicans. Deporting those bad hombres again. Wow, surely do feel safer, don't you?
Fox is being sued for discrimination and there is a huge blossoming petition to have Trump either pay himself for Melania's security as they live apart or have her move to the White House. He who complained about the cost of Obama's trips to Martha's Vineyard is sure doing a whopper on the US taxpayer with his separate households, his trip to Mar a Lago and his other properties even as he golfs the days away. Ryan is pushing all thoughts of cooperation with Democrats for the healthcare issue and keeping the government going after April 28 and keeps ranting that we cannot tell people what to do with their healthcare - maybe, but we sure as hell have no right to take it away! But at least the judge in Hawaii extended the order blocking the travel ban.
People, this is ugly. This is shameful. Are we a third world country that has dictators for life? Are we a third world country that wars against itself? Are we a third world country that allows itself to be manipulated by the likes of Putin and his Russian mafia? Where and when and how did this happen? Are we not ashamed? I am.
Looking around I wonder why we even fight here in the Village to get things right, to get David Israel gone, settling into retirement and getting our Village back on track in all the many ways it needs. Why and how do we do this when David Israel has a role model in the President and as he sees the garbage that they get away with in Washington. Drain the swamp indeed! Anybody have a huge suction machine and a safe dump site for all that needs to be drained, here and in DC? Didn't think so.
