It is bad enough that every day, almost hourly, we are deluged by more stupidities, more moronic aspects of either Trump or one of his swamp critter minions, but now we have to hear the truth from our enemies? Is that what the proud United States has come to? ISIS, which has strangely kept quiet about the whole Trump administration till now has finally come out with a statement or two. One stated that he had prayed for Allah to give the US over to Trump and the other statement was that the US is being run by an idiot! Do any of those statements need explanation or dissection? I don't think so! They speak for themselves. How sad, how bad, how very, very bad, it is , Donald, when the mortal enemy of our country has discerned the truth way before at least 35% of the population, the ever shrinking group that still backs you.
Think of the "progress" this administration has made. We now have a new version of Where's Waldo. Just take out your old books, erase Waldo, insert Jared and voila! Where's Jared? Is he is Iraq? Or is that the rest of the Middle East or perhaps he is even in China? Or maybe back in the States trying to make a complete do over of the government. Amazing!!
We have two WWIII possibilities just heating up. Over the China Sea we have China and Japan playing very scary chicken with intercepting jets and Japan is our ally and in North Korea we have a sociopath running the joint, shooting off his rockets and us, who knows? What will happen when that crazy dude sends off the first rocket to actually hit a mainland that belongs to us or to an ally? If you have an answer, I think you are needed in Washington. Pronto!!
And let us not forget Syria which has run wild, gassing and killing and destroying and of course we have the best bud of Trump right there supporting Assad and leaving the Islamic State fighters alone. In fact, so emboldened are they that a suicide bomber visited Russia with great damage. But, a great big but - do you know whose fault this gas attack was?Why Obama of course. I guess in his spare time from developing the "deep state" - yet another stupidity that Donny uses erroneously, or better yet, in the time he can spare from watching Donny from the appropriate microwave, in that spare time he does what? Don't ask me to explain the twisted mind of our ostensible leader! And in any case, there is always a spare scapegoat around in the form of Hillary Clinton. Just ask Donny. He will confirm it. Sad, so sad, so very, very bad.
Trump barges ahead cancelling restrictions and regulations and then the car companies say not for them, no retooling for what they have already done to cut emissions and the coal companies are telling him to stay in the Paris Accord as that is better for their business, the farmers and their reps in Congress are waking up to the fact that thanks to this guy they will have nowhere to sell their corn and wheat, no source of young calves, and no workers to milk the cows and pick the crops but what the hey! I am sure we can all see the "Americans" lining up for the back breaking jobs, right?
The head of JPMorgan & Chase tells us there is something wrong with us and how right he is. Even he now realizes how far off the track this administration has gone. And the head of the DNC is quite blunt about it and good for him. The Republicans and their leaders "do not give a s*** about the people." Not the people who will die because there is no longer a local hospital due to funding cuts. Not the people waiting for their Meals on Wheels. Nope, so they will miss just a few meals, huh! Not the people waiting for retraining for the new technology business moving in. Not the Dreamers who are waiting to be welcomed into their de facto country. Not the kids going hungry because there is no lunch program anymore. Not the kids with special needs for forget those laws and their needs. Not the seniors waiting for help because forget the research on their medical issues, forget the hospitals and forget the EMTs and paramedics as their funding has been cut. So exactly for whom does this government give a crap? Why for the swamp critters that have slithered into DC and who work for Donald - and their businesses - and do not forget the family members who are now really into the whole thing and just getting offices and new titles and wow, so exciting for them. Royalty indeed!!
What about all those protests? Thankfully there seems to be a more organized movement of resistance and I cannot believe I am writing about resistance here in this country. But when civil rights are taken back, when there is to be less oversight over our law enforcement people and yes, there are great ones amongst them but seriously, do you think there are those that do not need oversight, particularly in this New World of ours and waiting in ambush for those "bad hombres"?
And it seems to have woken up the millennials. There is even a "Dumbledore Army" - a group of bright young people who are graduates attending the JFK School of Government at Harvard - who got together after the inauguration to contemplate what was at risk and how this has grown. Just as in the book, these are kids who are going to be better than the adults who look aside, this "thing" has grown - "That “thing” has become more than a simple meetup, it seems. There’s a polished website, a curriculum of sorts, a social media following, and a vested interest from thousands of people from as far away as Manila and as close to home as Cambridge, the group says." Never mind the "deep state"; these kiddies are going after the "dark Magic" of the swamp.
Even down here in Palm Beach there is a growing organized protest movement, the retread protesters a la the seniors and the new guys on the block. Resistance in America! Never! And yet here we are. So let us have done with this "idiot'. Impeach and convict, remove for mental cause. Bypass him. And let those little boys stop comparing size all the time in Congress and get together to actually run a country and run it for the people, not for their Party or some dogma.
Pipe dreams at this point I think. But it can become so again or am I just a deluded old fool who believes in the principles of our country, naïve enough to think we can make a difference, force the country to choose a different path. We did so before so why not now? Why not! So pick up a sign, get better walking shoes, work on free weights to improve your arm muscles. Give a donation. But do something and remember - something which my recently deceased teacher used to say - one coin in a box makes a lot of noise. Many coins fill the box and actually means something. A brain with little in it makes a lot of noise but the brain filled with ideas makes no noise but accomplishes much. Which brain are you going to be? Which box do you prefer - the empty or the full? Think about it.
