That is a major no on both terms. Integrity is defined as "the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness:" This is a quality we should treasure and value, look for and even demand from those who are supposedly working for us, the public servants of our government. We should most of all demand it from the President and his team.
Well, we are doomed in that sphere and not sure if we are not doomed in the smaller sphere of CV. Where are the certainties we should have re truth and honor, the surety we should have regarding our officials? As for Trump, he is a consummate liar, would rather tell a lie than a truth and if forced to finally admit to the truth, will reveal as little as possible hoping that the entire mess can be somehow concealed. Certainly he should have realized that by now, but instead keeps trying to brazen it out all the while he and his are employing one attorney after another and the rats are pushing and shoving the others out of the way. Who will finally break? What are the odds? If I were a bookmaker......
And here in CV I do not think the situation is any better, though on a lesser scale. Yet that scale is of vital importance to us as it is both our very day to day and future life that is at stake. What is the truth about all the doings and contracts going on in that building? Why all the secret meetings, the after hour meetings, the closed meetings, the private meetings and emails and calls re our lives here. What is the true contract with Atlantic? What is the true state of affairs regarding the algae in the lake? We came home after a week and OMG what a disaster the lake is by us. I am told that the stuff comes from what is often used in aquariums!! We need to be careful before we just dump!! It has never been worse and it is majorly UGLY!!!
Both government heads try to assure us that the future will be better, that they are working on it. We get tweets from Trump, maniacal ones at that, that butcher the English language and say nothing except to tell us to truly despair and from David Israel - nada, except for false statements and videos of meetings that tell us pieces of the truth, useless pieces at that.
I do not understand why government officials feel they can lie and indeed should lie to their constituents. I do not know why they think it will go unnoticed. I do not know why these people feel that 1984 is the way to go, Orwell being prophetic re our language, our officials and their aims. We are supposed to listen to their words, the words which change on a daily, or even hourly basis with Trump and to the words of Israel which are generally as informative as his grunted "...nnnaright".
We are constantly harangued by Trump that all is beautiful. Well, according to 1984 all is the opposite, so beautiful is truly ugly and that is the situation we are in. So people are unregistering because they do not want their personal information out there available for ID theft. They feel Trump has no business with it and they are 150% correct!! He is going at the very basis of our democracy and for that, there is no excuse.
David Israel just keeps saying that all is under control even as he signs away our lives, refuses to admit that our reserves are pathetically inadequate for our needs and refuses to answer other vital questions. He plans to further restrict our rights in the future. He treats all with contempt except when he is lying to a group in his office as he tries to make nicey nice and even there he has to go begging for people to show up as most already realize what a farce these meetings are.
Both blab away and do not realize what a mess they are embroiling us in. Here we are in financial straits and in the US who knows. He is messing around with North Korea as if they are normal, knowing that guy is capable of anything, and trading insults and threats like two bullyboys in the schoolyard. David reassures us at the same time that he antagonizes and insults all, in public and private and takes petty steps to avenge his "honor" and name. Too late on that.
Their words and promises are as true as the Made in America Week as Trump admires Sikorsky copters but kind of forgets that there are foreign items that go into the mix for the whole! He buys foreign made items for his businesses and hotels and his daughter makes all of her items outside the country. But oh, make America great again- just leave him and his out of it!! The pigs of Animal Farm who feel they are more equal than others!! And of course, do not forget the 15,000 new temporary visas for foreign workers granted as it is finally realized in their thick skulls that these workers are necessary for industries and enterprises, particularly seasonal ones with massive demands for workers.
And no, spouting the word beautiful again and again, tweeting nonsensical statements and butchering the language is not going to help. Only the truth will. And certainly Russia will not help here either. And that, my friends is one that Trump has over David Israel. Trump has turned traitor to his country, to his citizens, sold his very soul for money and business political office and at least David has remained true to America, though to its values and freedoms and rights - uh uh. Some difference there at least, I think, I hope.
In any case, or rather in both cases, the words integrity and beautiful are not there. There is no honor in their souls, no beauty in their deeds nor their plans and we had better say and do something if we are to rescue ourselves from the morass that is now surrounding us. Integrity? Beauty? Bah humbug!!!!
