WILL THE FATMAN EVER SING?

    The saying goes that a fat lady has to sing before something is over. Well, what if we change it to the fat man who has to sing, that big overgrown and nasty child who stalks the halls of our government like a menace, casting a shadow over the entire country, and indeed, even the world.
     This man, who is naturally a buffoon, a nasty one at that, gives himself hugs every night, seeks the hugs of others, boasts of standing ovations either that never were or that were given to him by chickens masquerading as Senators, as servants of the people, this man is a danger to us all.
     This fact has been stated all along but even more important, is being said by members of his own Party. He gives himself sobriquets that praise himself, for no one else will, even those who suck up to him. He calls himself the "builder president", he who is deconstructing every safeguard that the Obama administration put in place, the very safeguards that will protect our lives and the lives of our children. But this man pulls them all out, crushes them, and takes glee in it. He makes dumb statements that if all had installed greenboard drywall, a water resistant drywall in all the first floors of Houston, why the damage from the flood would have been almost nothing!! I kid you not.
     So never mind the unholy cost. Never mind the fact that all the furnishings would have been ruined. Never mind the bacteria and filth of the mud left over. Never mind the fact that greenboard is resistant not waterproof, just never mind all the facts! But on he natters away.
     His poll numbers keep dropping, even from his base, the white non college educated male, and so many are expressing disgust at his behavior and actions or lack thereof. And that is from a FOX news poll too! Yet his nastiness continues as he baits a dying hero Senator, as he calls Jeff Flake names, as he belittles Corker, and worst of all, as he declares a war of words on a war widow; it is simply disgusting.
     And the stink expands. A company that is incapable of doing the work of rewiring Puerto Rico is hired due to its ties to the administration. This company of TWO permanent employees now has to come up with all the people needed. The mayor of San Juan, that brave woman, calls them out and they tell her they have 300 people on the island and then take it down to 40 in San Juan and 44 in the rest of the island. Are they nuts? This is a drop in the bucket. They need hundreds of workers, tons of supplies and the knowledge and wherewithal to do the job but all their qualifications devolve onto their 'who they know' IQ. We are back in the morass of corruption and inefficiency and inability.
     So what is left if this fat buffoon sings? Well, we have that stone hearted man who pastes his hair to his head - always a sign of rigidity and lack of goodness - just look at Junior! So Pence is not a good hope for us either, he who calls his wife "mother", who is afraid to talk alone in a room with a woman, thereby cutting out so much talent, displaying his own coarseness. Then there is the chinless and spineless and balless wonder of McConnell, that weasel, followed by another rat, Ryan, who could care less about the people, only about his heartless Ayn Rand inspired so called principles. Time to grow up.
     WE, America and Americans, have allowed ourselves to deteriorate into a third world country in disguise. We have allowed ourselves to accept the behavior of demagogues and allowed them to surface here. That is what Bannon is, an ugly souled being who talks of wiping out his enemies. We have abandoned responsibility for our own country in the search for wealth and privilege.
    We need to return to the principles. We need to restore the humanity in our government. We need to toss out those who have no heart, whose guiding principle is Big Business and banks, who step all over the People. And we need to do this ASAP. G-d help us if we do not get it together stat. Poor us and poor kids. Poor world.
