So sorry, folks. We left the house at 3:30 AM to catch a plane for Pittsburgh and have just caught our breath. A captain was missing , then found, a piece broke but was fixed and finally we reached our little ones. They are now blowing bubbles with the gum they are not allowed to have - a grandparent's perk!
What I found time to do was listen to Comey and wage a battle within myself to not explode with frustration and annoyance. It is shocking to think that all this could go on and even more shocking that a member of an institution based on law did not reveal the violations immediately. Why not? I am not a fan of Comey and believe he did wrong with Clinton and now with Trump but on opposite ends - one where there was no need to say anything and one where it should have been blasted from the windows of the FBI.
How could we have allowed such a crook to become president. Thought we learned from Nixon. How could we not see the difference between Camelot and TrumpWorld? How could we allow the unethical behavior to permeate our government? How could we have allowed his entire family other than Barron and Tiffany to get involved? How and when does this reach a border, a point of no return and a point of us saying - OUT!!!
What gave me hope at a dark moment was hearing on line a video put out by an Arab group that protested violence, that sang of love and meeting enemies with peace rather than hate, that Allah was better than the terrorists who kill people, even the innocent. There is hope in this world, as hard as it may seem right now.
Tomorrow I hope to write a longer posting, one which perhaps can make sense of what happened today and where we are going to go with this. Reading that the GOP Senate members think they can go on with repeal of the healthcare - that just blows my mind. Their ostensible leader is a crook, a liar, a predator, a disturbed man and yet they continue to strip the protection around their electorate.
Think the world will make sense tomorrow? We will see what the morning brings.
