BOOOOORING!!!!

     There used to be a news cycle of legislation, events around the world, current local and  national events, even sports and arts events. However, today there is generally only one major news cycle and that is of the latest insanities committed by that predator in the Oval Office. His constant misbehavior, totally opposed to the proper and expected behavior of his position rules the day - and night - and months - and year.
     The mystery at the center is just exactly how this man came to be in office. He represented the worst in us as a people and as a nation. He represented the dismissed, the unhappy, those searching for an answer, a cure to their problems that was certainly not to be found within Trump's mind, but his mouth appeared to be enough to cover over all the truth of the situation.
     His mouth. That big, constantly flapping mouth, replete with foul language, disgusting statements and a false appearance of sticking up for the little guy The truth of the matter is that he stuck it to the little guy and has only his own money and those of others like him in mind. And now we stand on the verge of a huge upheaval within American society. We stand on the edge of creating a true and almost unbreakable schism between the uber upper economic class and the rest of us, a schism so deep, so impenetrable that I worry for America itself.
     The stories that emanate from the White House, every damn day, the crudity of language and mouth, the nastiness, the absolute impossibility of this man to actually face and acknowledge the truth, and the dragging along of other like minded or deluded people - all are both frightening and boring at the same time. And that is the problem.
     People are getting used to this "new normal" , getting tired of the dastardly shenanigans this man and his minions pull, and are excusing his behavior. Sorry, a 71 year old person should know better and if he does not, then his aides should educate him and control him, but then again, why are we talking of controlling the President!!
     He cannot and/or will not accept any responsibility or causality when his wishes are thwarted. He blames others and sends off ridiculous and nasty tweets, the worst adolescent ever. He encourages hate mongers such as Roy Moore who went totally off the track yesterday in his statement and displayed all his hatred of others. He has started this 'fake news' idiocy that dictators all over the world have glommed onto and has thus endangered an honored profession, that of journalism, endangered those who practice it, endangered the presentation of all sides of an issue and the truth of many matters.
     And yes, this is majorly boring in the long run, but also extremely dangerous in both the long and the short run. This man and his followers need to be gone. They need to be reminded of public service, of the true principles of America, need to be deprived of their opportunities to spout hatred and encourage it all over the country. Perhaps the victory yesterday in Alabama is the beginning of a long trek back, but I am not celebrating yet , nor should any one. Only hard work and effort and time will tell if we can come back from the brink, but I must say that if this tax bill is passed, even as most of the country is opposed, then only the good Lord can predict the future. All I know is that it will be problematic, to say the least.
