MY APOLOGIES

     My apologies. I am truly sorry....well, maybe not so sorry, but I must be excused as I laugh with glee, a malicious glee, true, but perhaps things are beginning to turn around and perhaps this is the beginning of the end. Perhaps when this is all over we can return to our roots. We can have sanity in the government. We can eliminate the deep crust of corruption that now coats the administration. Perhaps we can look forward to the reinstatement of the safety regulations, cancel all the threats of cutting SNAP and other safety net programs. Perhaps we can get on with life and talk of other things, other than Trump.
     Sorry, but when my phone buzzed with the message that Trump's lawyer's office had been raided, I laughed. Yes, finally, hopefully, the balloons have all begun to burst and maybe the slogan that Trump used the whole time - "lock her up" will return to its originator with full interest. Lock him up!!!! Him and his crooked lawyer and all his co-conspirators in a corrupt government, in  a selfish and thoughtless government.
     And instead of sending troops at a huge cost to supposedly clear grass, fly drones, and do other scut work as the nation under Trump continues to chase immigrants, to toss them back as if they were fish in the sea, to besiege and capture them, to tear families apart - well, perhaps we can think of other duties for our National Guardsmen such as preparing for a real war, or helping in national emergencies and here's an idea - sending them to Puerto Rico which is still in crisis and could use the expertise of the National Guard desperately.
     So sorry for my mean giggle, but I and many others are entitled to this. About time. A man who sits and watches TV, who depends on Fox News to give him his agenda and information, warped and twisted as it is, a man who talks in capitals, a man who insults as easily as he breathes - time for this man to go! Time for charges to be brought. Time for truth to come out. Time to get someone who will dig us out of the morass he has gotten us into, be it Syria or Niger or Afghanistan, or Iran or Mexico or besmirching the land, coarsening the meaning of being American and the country of the United States of America.
     Time to take pride in ourselves once again. Time for us to stand up for the right and not for Trump's bottom line nor any of his appointees. Time to restore the judiciary to its proper role in our government. Time to remember that we must help those in need. Time to fight the rise of hatred that is poisoning the very air we breathe. Lots of work to do but first - lock him up!!!! Oh, yes!!!
