WHAT A MESS!!!!

     So, while I feel vindicated, what with my refrain of "the truth will out" being used in the scandal a la mode, my warnings about the criminality and the treasonous actions of the Trump administration that go right to the very top along with the ever more powerful reek that accompanies it proved correct, I do not feel victorious or even glad to be in this position and I am sure that none of the columnists, none of the people who have realized this all along, are even happy to say or think, "told ya so". But we do have a mess, folks, a mess of our own making. A mess that we allowed to develop when we refused to face reality, when we did not follow through on demands, when we allowed a cheap two bit crook like Trump and his billionaire friends to take over Washington and the nation.
     Trump, so used to being the king in his pathetic kingdom, the one run by using OPM, the one where he answered to no one, could not face the fact that as president he would be under a constant scrutiny and as there are plenty of those who see the naked emperor under his imagined clothing, the scrutiny would be harsh, ongoing, and always seeking the truth. So here we are. The man refuses to face the music, refuses to recognize the very basic fact that when caught redhanded, the best thing to do is fess up, admit it, rather than go running down the hallways of the WH shrieking about leaks. How about shrieking about how stupid, how corrupt one's administration is, how we should thank G-d for the leakers so perhaps we will be able to get rid of the crooks and the ethically challenged. These same liars cancelled an ethics workshop for themselves because, I guess, they thought it was not meant for them as they were above the law. Well, they are not.
     Remember that phrase, Sessions? You yourself said that , that "nobody is above the law". Except for you perhaps and your best buds? For your boss? Remember when you said that justice must be non partisan? Guess you thought that you would always be an exception!
     So now we get the ridiculous statements that uh, not sure if Russia wanted Trump to win. Uh huh. And "forgetting" meetings and especially the one where Jared was with you? And how about the fact that the people of these United States are entitled to the truth? Doesn't  apply with you and yours, does it?
     Truth to tell, all these liars, these perjurers, need to be reexamined and prosecuted to the full extent of the law and past habits examined as well. Pence used his private and hacked email as governor to conduct state business. How do we know that will not happen again - or if it has happened already? How do we know? How do we trust anyone here? And where are those damned tax returns and where is a complete and objective medical report on Trump himself. I particularly would like to se his mental evaluation as I believe the man is truly and seriously mentally ill. And a happy pill or two is not the answer either.
     For some pleasant news, last nite we had tickets to see Annie at the Kravis and took a chance. Well. I had to leave at intermission, just too much, but happy that I made it that far. What was even better was the realization that yes, this truly is a country of immigrants and isn't that great!!! A middle school choir performed in the lobby, singing songs from various cultures and countries including a Hebrew one. The members were of all races and ethnicities and so were the people in the lobby. All those families. All those kids, all coming to see a play where the theme of growth, of hope and optimism, of "maybe' and there is always a tomorrow - red hair, black hair, big noses, little noses, all sorts of skin tones and yes - we are all immigrants, we are all contributing to making and keeping this country great and small minded people such as Trump will not ruin that for all of us.
    We need to stand up and take firm hold of our spineless representatives in DC and demand, DEMAND, that they do the right thing, that they insist on the right thing. We must demand of those who voted for Trump to restart their brains and stop hiding behind the fear and shame that they fell for this dude. Admit it, stop making excuses, stop saying oh, but Hillary...., This is Donald time, he of the crooked and ethically challenged, he who involves his family members getting them to walk down the same crooked paths he has.
    Is this what we want? America is great. Always has been and always will be especially if we get rid of those who would drag her down into the filth and mud they prefer. So no, I will not just accept it, as a friend said yesterday. I will not accept injustice. I will not accept that my president be a crook and remain in office. I will not accept that the rest of his administration falls into that same category, or at least a significant majority. I will not accept incompetence in place.
     And folks, that carries over into our own election here. Once again we have chicanery on the rise. There are THIRTEEN seats available for the Executive Board and now David is saying oh, only vote for ten and of course, he would prefer you only vote for his lackeys and then he will fill in the rest with his yesmen. Enough of incompetence and dishonesty here in the Village. Vote for the people who yes, demand answers, the people who are looking out for the residents, the people who wish to keep this place going on a financially sound and honest basis, the ones who do not want an ever flowing series of huge increases of UCO fees and WPRF fees. Demanding answers, pressing officials for answers, for the truth, is never being disruptive. Go ask Washington. Ask Thomas Jefferson. Ask Benjamin Franklin. And go down the rolls of American history and find other questioners, other demanders of answers, of the truth. So think and vote the right way. Do not be fooled by the march of the unliving delegates who are resurrected once a year, associations resurrected once a year with delegates appointed who  know they must obey. Time for a change, a wholesale change, both here and in the country.
     And should right lose as it has before both here and in the country, no Gracie, no, Lanny, no Petey Boy, no David, we will not be going away, not from here and not from demanding justice and honesty in our federal government as well. We are here to stay so DEAL WITH IT.
