COMING HOME TO ROOST

     It is a sad but true fact that truth comes home to roost on the head of the liar, of the perpetrator of the misdeed. No matter how many times one escapes the consequences, it will finally out and then there are the serious consequences which are the worse for the liar simply because he lied and denied and now is found out. Almost every serious writer has a tale to tell with this warning and theme.
    Our 'esteemed' president, he who is not the president of many people, has now been on the receiving end of so many people's warnings and statements re his childish, even infantile, behavior. Perhaps he thinks it is cute or attractive or funny, but it is manifestly not so.
     Here is what one columnist writes.
       "Grow up! Just correction is not jaundiced crucifixion. Any hell you’re in is a hell you made. You are the author of your own demise. You are not being unfairly targeted; instead your above-the-rules, beyond-the-law sense of privilege is being tested and found insufficient. It will not immunize you against truth and justice."
     This is sad, but it goes along with the lack of respect that so many feel for this man. He refuses to own up to his errors in judgements, to his crazy behavior and on the difficulty his aides have in controlling him. Now think on that. Why should aides have to control the man, the President. Are you aware of how much this endangers the country? Just read the issues.
     "There are very serious questions here, ones that include but are not limited to collusion. They also now include the possibility of treason, obstruction of justice and making false statements."
     Not even 150 days and now the man is looking to set up a legal team to defend him in these matters and his possible criminal charges in these matters, let alone impeachment or removal from office in another way, the 25th amendment.
     But there is more to come in this area. It seems that the one permanent qualification to be in Trump's administration is to be a liar, a big one at that and one who still does not realize that he/she will be found out and sure enough, now we have Pence joining  the lie fest. Now the next question is - who replaces him as well?

     When are we going to get some grown ups in office? When will the members of Congress, both houses, remember why they are there? When will we get some honorable people back in office? And will all this be done before there is civil war? Before the world is ruined. Somewhere there must be hope for without hope all is lost. We must continue the fight, back on the picket lines, in among the protesters.

     And hey, here's a thought. Let's begin by cleaning up the Village and get some new and unselfish and grown up people into office. It certainly is a thought and begin by voting for Comcast and not Atlantic. No tantrums can make something that is bad for us appear to be good. Truly!
