CHAOS!!!!!!!!

     We are at a point of no return. We have to decide if we are going to be a truly democratic nation, with all that it entails, or are we going to give up in the midst of chaos and turn our collective backs on history, past, present and future. Where are we going?
    The government has shut down before but never as scary as this time. There is such an animus between people, between individuals, that I despair at seeing these breaches healed. We have a Freedom Caucus- pardon the misnomer - who seem only ready to savage any and  all agreements that will keep the country up and running, any deal, bi partisan or not, that will show some compassion for the Americans we are planning to throw out of the country.
     And at the head of it all is a miserable human being, dare I use that term for him - who has only hate within his veins, who has brought out the worst of us ever since he threw his stupid hat into the ring. An agreement at 10 turns into disaster and denial at 12 garnished with foul language that displays a prejudice dating back to slavery and Jim Crow days. And then, as usual, the man denies the truth, lies through his teeth and finds moral cowards to back him up.
     The filth that spews from this man, the disgusting background of his lack of morals, his immoral behavior, from cheating contractors, declaring bankruptcy numerous times to avoid what is right, his payments to prostitutes on long lived relationships even as he was married once more to yet another foreigner and even had a new baby. See, I guess immigrants has a role to serve - at least for him. He spoke disgustingly about how to behave with women and how, in fact, he himself behaved and used more scatological language to make his point.
     Our government that has served us so well since inception way back, our government that worked with creaks and groans, yes, but worked enough to progress and even restore some humanity into our governmental programs, - this government is on its way out, Now yet another Federal Advisory Board has resigned en masse as they are ignored, in violation of the law, and Trump's creeps are ever freer to destroy our environment, our country, our rights, our people.
     But wait - the worst is yet to come. There are individuals, thank G-d, who have the spine, the knowledge of what is truly moral and right, who know the difference between legal and  moral, who defy federal law on the rapacious rending of families with this insane chasing and deporting. Every time I think of it I think of all the deportations throughout history, the expulsions of Jews, the herding of Armenians by Turkey, the Rwanda disaster, the Rohingya, and now the Department of Justice is threatening to arrest - yes, ARREST - those individuals of the sanctuary cities and states! What the hell are we????What have we become? Are we now one of the world's tinpot dictatorships, spouting how democratic we are even as we arrest and then what? Then what? Do we start going after our citizens, not officials, just human beings who disagree with the immoral, unjust policies and actions of the President and his henchmen?
     Will we have to satisfy our desire for news with the stories of the man's huge appetite for food, for double scoops where all else get one? Will we have a pronouncement that McDonald's is the official food service of the country? Will we continuously have to listen to lies re the man's supposed health and his denials of his mental and emotional deterioration?
    And will we have to adjust our ears and minds to the display of hatred, vicious prejudice once more, the new fashion of the day? So a well known DIY show allows its 'star' to talk of "Jew it down", a disgusting canard of the past?! Will we all be reassigned to "shithole" countries according to our presumed nationalities, with America being reserved for pure WASPs if there is such a thing anymore.
    We are a nation of Heinz ketchup people - 57 varieties and we should be proud of that. We have a wonderful and rich mix of cultures and we should be proud of that. We have a melding of minds, of great minds and we should be proud of that. We have a record of at least trying to do the right thing and when we have not, of trying to undo the harm, fix our mistakes, care for people.
    That is who we the people are and that man in the Oval Office who talks of big buttons and small hands and other parts of his anatomy, who behaves as an infant with his ridiculous names that he assigns to others, who has no loyalty to anyone other than himself and possibly Ivanka - he is most emphatically not my president and most emphatically does not speak for most of we the people. Time to roar that at him and the world - that is, if we exist in the near future.
     WE THE PEOPLE!!!!
