CHOOSE

        America is going to have to choose. Are we going to insure that our American way of life remains so, or are we going to abdicate, leave it in the hands of consummate liars, pretend princes and princesses, unethical businessmen and traitors to the country. One way requires hard work, a constant watchfulness and the other seeds itself thru laziness and apathy.
     Today was a fun day. We had family over, met a newly introduced member, had a lot of laughs, joked, did not talk politics except for a joke or two, hugged and kissed and simply enjoyed a typical American Sunday, barbecue and all, overate and laughed so that we all had no more room. But we did leave room for dessert!
     But after everyone had left, I checked on the computer to see if the madman had blown us up yet or committed another oops, or tweeted away once more. And lo and behold there he was again. Now he is pushing Made in America Week and if that is not the height of hypocrisy, this coming from a man  whose businesses outsource so much and whose daughter uses all outside labor, cheap labor to make her clothing and accessories. It is enough to make one vomit.
     This man wants an America that will be a return to another time, when the poor had no healthcare they could afford - nor the middle class at that - and there will be little to no manufacturing or trade because he will have locked and blocked us out from the rest of the world and they will simply bypass us. They will set up their own trade routes and exchanges and will not miss us at all. Some of our states will establish their own dealings with other countries and are feeling their way now into that, but as for the rest - guess they will just muddle along and more will be homeless, jobless, hungry and cold - with no protection for sick Americans but Trump and his will be just fine. They will make sure of that.
     After six months in office this man has wreaked havoc upon us and the world. They will pick up the pieces and move on without us but what will happen to us? His Republican Party is fracturing - at least one good result and his legislative promises are dead in their tracks and again, thank the Lord above for that. Tax reform - twisted version of it - infrastructure, the wall - ah, but that will be transparent, see through, so if you are an American you will be able to see the bad hombres heave 60 pound bags of drugs over the wall and move so it will not hit you on the head! Swear to that - that is what he said!! The man is not normal.
     The whole Russian business stinks to the high heavens and we learned that the Trump family never learned to count and could not tell the difference between two people and ten. They could not figure out that a lie once revealed will not end that process until the whole story and truth comes out. He has been rated as a D- for the year so far and I do not see any improvement in the days to come.
     Personally, I believe this man and his cohorts  are for the most part traitors to the country. To say it was okay for junior to solicit or get information from a foreign enemy country because it was not successful is to say that attempted murder is not really a crime - only murder. The lack of ethics and the conflicts of interest, the selfishness of the appointed people, their ties to their areas of supervision are all sickening and lead to bad news for us, the people.
     So we need to choose. Will we choose those who put all the blame for their actions on others, try to waffle and explain away all their misdeeds? Will we choose the incompetent, the selfish, he nasty, the sexual predator and his or will we stand up straight, pull our pants up and roll those sleeves up and take back our country? I know which way I choose to go - and you?
