Okay, folks. We do know that there are many ways in which we can be hacked. We are warned about the phones, the cameras on the computers, our TVs, the smart ones anyway and scariest of all, the computers that run our cars can be controlled from the outside. But, folks, our microwaves are not watching us. Truly, or maybe we need to check our fillings in the teeth as well and yup, who knows what that nefarious dentist has truly implanted in our mouths. A dangerous world we live in.
Anyway, if anyone wants to join in sending gifts of boxes of aluminum foil, heavy duty type, to Kellyanne Conway, perhaps we can all get together so we can double down on the shipping!
Seriously, we all know by now that Trump is mentally and emotionally challenged. We all know he has difficulty in the intellectual sphere as well, in the managerial sphere and in any sphere one can think of, but now we also know that his crew are not only ethically challenged or downright crooks or hard hearted people with no care for others, but are they also inanely mentally unbalanced? And if so, what are we going to do about this? We must do something.
In the meanwhile, lawyers galore are proving their worth as they double down on opposing and resisting Trump and the rest of his crazy Executive Orders and plans. Even Republicans are telling Trump to basically put up or shut up, either there is proof of his fantasies of being watched or there is not )truly there is none) and all that is left is his paranoia. The site Fact Checker cannot even figure out where Trump stands on many issues as he has flip flopped so many times.
Unfortunately, at least in the meanwhile, we have a culture that is now furthering and normalizing and even pushing hatred. The latest is the statement by Republican King of Iowa, you know, the state where there are more white extreme militias than anywhere else. And he is warning the countries of Europe and of course us, that we cannot wage war or protect our country with "somebody else's babies". I kid you not. So whose babies are these somebody else's? Are they black, or brown or red or olive or perhaps they are Jewish or Muslim or Bahai or speak with too much of an Italian accent or an Eastern European one? Who are these babies and why are they somebody else's and when asked by Chris Cuomo to explain his statement, King tripped over himself and could not deny the simple statement that he is pushing "white is right" and nothing else.
Here in America we acknowledge that anyone born here is a citizen, that anyone born of a citizen is a citizen, that anyone who immigrates to our country and becomes a citizen is just that - a citizen and they and their babies are G-d forbid, are the ones who will defend our country.
And what do we do with the latest wave of violence and vandalism against LGBTQ centers across the nation? What the hell is the matter with us and the people within this country? Have we all lost our minds? Have we all lost any semblance of decency? Have we all just been waiting for an excuse to hurt and harm? A report just came out that said that hate crimes have risen over 20% in 2016 fueled by the hatred incited by the election campaign. Some cities have risen over 62%. People are now being forced, even using physical force, to turn over their cellphones at border crossings to be searched and these are CITIZENS.
If you are not yet shivering in your boots then I cannot understand how deep the hole is in which you have your head!
The stink of hate, the stink of danger, the stink of the cruelty that mean and ignorant and selfish people bring with them ,these stinks are growing ever stronger. Unlike on the TV show Colony, we do not need aliens to destroy us for we appear to be doing it ourselves. Do we need to run thru all the movies and shows that have portrayed this unequal America where the very small percentage live one way and the rest struggle along in a state of poverty, fear and indeed, slavery? Nope, for all we have to do is pick up a paper or turn on the news via any media and see the truth. Charles Blow calls Trump the most ignorant president ever and he is being generous.
Our country and its history, all that it stands for is in danger. Those who voted for Trump, admit the error, face the truth, quit the ridiculous and blind excuses and face up to it all. The man and his crew have to go. They must - for all our sakes.
