It appears to be that I am trapped in rough seas between Charybdis and Scylla in the forms of Trump and David Israel. I would truly like to write more thought pieces but the antics of these two are just never ending, a tale that we wish would have an ending. It is time for the two if them to resign and go spout their nonsense where it cannot do any harm and where it does not oppose the ideas and laws that make America and the Village great, not their twisted idea of it, but the good and sound ones of the people, of the founders, of those who wish us to stay on the proper path. And they, the two of them, turn to patriotism, "making America Great" and songs of wars on David's blog - but remember, patriotism is also known as the last refuge of scoundrels and remember who in history has used false patriotism to lock up society!.
And David Israel never seems to outgrow his crooked ways. He flouts the wishes of the delegates or bypasses them totally and then plays games with the committees by blocking any and all who would oppose him from either being a chair or even serving on the committee. Then he will ask why the person has not done anything for UCO. Later today I will post the series of postings from Olga's blog which relates how she has been fired, the chair of the Advisory has been fired and in fact, any and all who oppose David Israel in his tiny little mind have been fired but his yesmen remain.Truly funny if not so sad and not so bad for the Village. And then again he is working like a dog to insure that the new bylaws are weak and cannot oppose any of his wishes. Just as the country has weak and failing government people, so too does UCO right here in the Village and why does nobody volunteer, so much so that there are always pleas to do so? Because people cannot stand the man nor his lackeys and they do not relish the thought of his nastiness, of them being thrown under the bus. So the good work of some goes unnoticed, for truly, this is, to borrow a word from Trump - sad! Bad!
And our infrastructure collapses as does the country's and there is no money to fix it. Our leaders are pathetic and selfish. And Trump never seems to give up on his stupidity. Snoop Dogg - hope I got the name right - does a song that pokes fun at Trump and the man actually pays attention and tweets about it? Get a life, you jerk. Go figure out how you are going to deflect the bad press re your healthcare and your tax revelations. Go figure out how to deal with Korea. Go figure out how long you have before there is rebellion in the streets. Strangers are hooking up with one motive - to resist, to achieve the downfall of the Trump administration and this man tweets. G-d help us, for the Devil is certainly having a nice romp, is he not?
So it gets depressing at times to think about our situations and how long they will continue and if there will be anything left to salvage when they are over and done with. What will be of the finer points of life? What will be of art and music, of culture and theater, of philosophy other than selfishness and what will be in healthcare where we will not even be able to treat two megalomaniacs in deteriorating condition?
I recently read that we should learn that hatred does not lead to anything good and we need to perhaps involve ourselves in positive talks, with mediation but I ask you - how is that possible when ethics plays no role in those camps an there is no one home to talk to? Empathy is a word unknown over there and ethics are ignored, violated without a moment's thoughts so that road will not work.
Perhaps we need to take a bit more selfish path nd turn inward, turn to family and friends and good memories. Look at the old albums, you know, the ones with pages and actual photos, the one that kids just love to examine and talk about. It never fails that every time a grandchild or even a child comes over, out come the albums and of course, why are there no pictures of me, why did you dress me like that and we laugh and we cry and we forget the nasty outside world. Perhaps we need to encourage these others to look into old albums of themselves and perhaps they will find the innocence and goodness that came with them at birth. Worth a shot.
Bluffing and shouting and threatening to sue someone for what they said, is all nonsense and not worth the hot air it sends out. Deeds, my friends, deeds, and Rachel Maddow had the right idea when she says she is not going to pay attention to the fool's tweets any longer - only to what he does - which is exactly the point I made the other day with the Great Deflector. All he does is make a mess and incite hatred and here we are back in court with his hateful and odious ban, his nastiness and his ever growing fascistic tendencies. And let us not forget poor NBC as Trump is berserk on them.
And do not forget the now wonderful, oh so wonderful, budget proposed by Trump in his infinite madness and meanness. Much more for Defense, much more for homeland so they can build more jails to put more people in them as they "keep America safe' - that is safe from liberty, safe from the Constitution, etc. and there is less money for his constituents. Oh yes, reap what you have sowed, dear friends, but unfortunately you have dragged us along with you. So....healthcare is all f*****up but no problem, people will die so think of the shrinking of the budget costs that way. Less money for rural areas to build water facilities and clean it up like you know, the small problems, like lead in the water. There will be less or no money to keep the smaller airports open but hey, who needs to travel what with all the fuss going on about it. After school programs, summer programs will have less funding as charter schools suck all the education funding up but then again, what do the poor people need programs for. Let them work. Job training - less funds, energy programs - less funds and fewer funds for clean air even as the ass cuts the fuel efficiency requirements. But then again, do you really have to breathe so deeply. Shallow breaths, friends, shallow ones. And as for legal funds, you know so you can get a lawyer when one is needed, well forget about that and its funding but then again, there will be so much less crime as people will stay home because they have no funds for fun and no energy to do anything anyway as they come off a full day's work in a no safety protected job with no breaks, bad air, dangerous conditions and no food aid for the kids and themselves. Wow, the increased law enforcement people will have more time to go after those dangerous immigrants and refugees. Such a pretty future under Trump!!
So go look at a picture. Go share a memory. Go hug someone and then gird your loins for more resistance. Sorry, but that is the truth of it all.
