The song of rebellion continued with the word education, but today it is that very thing, education, that our young are trying to attain even as they are shot at, slaughtered in what should be a place of safety and security.
But what can we expect in and from a country that appears to have been played as a fool, its democracy usurped by its long term enemy, and with a President who chooses to believe the man who instigated it all, Putin, over his own intelligence officers. And then proceeded to "call names" in a kindergarten manner to those who opposed him. What can we expect?
Shamed enough to realize that he had better not play golf only miles away from the scene of the tragedy, Trump consulted with the arbiters of the country - the guests at Mar a Lago!! He needed their opinion on gun control! Truly. Guess all these lives that have been lost are not enough for him. Nor has he found it advisable to chime in with a yes for a military funeral for JROTC Cadet Peter Wang who died as a hero.
I believe that when the investigation is complete that Trump and his cohorts will be found guilty of collusion, knowing what they were doing or at the very least just being played the fool, but even if that is the case we do not need a fool at the head of government. Nor do we need people who accept help from the enemy. Nor do we need people who do not value our democracy and dignity. Nor do we need people who think their job and privilege in this administration is to live the high life at our expense and use their powers to enhance their bottom line.
So, fool, or active co-partner in betraying our country, greedy, or choose your own adjective or noun, this is distinctly not my president, nor yours, nor ours. There is no way that we can point to a specific measurement and say AHA! There it is, but we can certainly understand the total affect and its effect upon the election and its result. The actions of the Russians and the actions of the Americans who joined these Russian trolls certainly had an effect. The divisions of the nation were exacerbated and now the result, the one which is continuing the destruction of all that America is and was and should be in the future.
So what to do? March on the 24th of March. Join in with the walkout on the 17th of March for 17 minutes, a minute for each life of Parkland. Tell Ryan to man up. Tell representatives in all governments that enough is enough and they need the education! Or for G-ds sake stop those third graders in Missouri from raffling off an AR-15.
Will we never learn!
