AW, C'MON!!

     A definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and  expecting a different result. I guess sometimes that repetitive action takes place during a time of desperation, as when a refugee might try time and again to escape from a dangerous and/or life threatening situation but plagiarism? C'mon! 
     We already know how dumb, almost illiterate, Trump is. He has been doing the same thing over and over again and getting away with it and that is why he is so upset that people are now calling him out on all his acts of the past and present. Well, tough! So his lies have come home to roost and his indecency and moral turpitude have risen to the top like the scum on a glass bottle of milk. Kinda' what we expect of him now, sickening as it is.
     But now we have yet another attempt to pull the same lying stunt and think that no one would notice or care if they did. And if they did, well, just pull the pity us position that it is "opposition" media which is exposing the lie so therefore it does not count. Really?
     We all look at Melania and her telegraphing of her dislike of her husband and who can blame her? We see, or rather, hope, that she is a good mother to Barron, protecting him from adverse publicity. And that is all to the good, though one wonders why the hell she married him in the first place, or went to bed with him - ugh! - and why she stays with him. Was it to get legal status - oooohhhhh- or for the money? Who the hell knows but here we go again - and no, this is not the Mamma Mia reboot.
      At the 2016 convention, Melania either was cynically given a speech of Michelle Obama or it was thought that no one would notice. Worse possibility, they wished to make fun of her, her presentation, her accent, her apparent inability to come up with something original, or the lack of concern in the Trump bandwagon as to whether she was a figure of ridicule or not. Even worse is the possibility that they would make her a laughingstock so that when her distaste for her husband came out, people would remember when she was a fool and used a plagiarized speech.
      And yet again. A big rollout for Melania. She was finally going to do something worthy of a First Lady and her role in or for the country. And it was not a bad idea, following in the path she had begun to walk - cyberbullying, opioid addiction, emotional pressure and stress - all on the children of our country. Great! It must be noted though, that her husband is a big bully on the internet, he puts pressure on all his aides and indeed on the country with his deranged behavior, and he does actually nothing about the opioid problem other than blabbing away with nothing done.
     Oh well. Some "opposition" media people doing their jobs, quaint as that thought seems to be to Trump et al, uncovered the not really hidden fact that the Be Best pamphlet was actually a repackaging of another prior pamphlet from the Federal Trade Commission and all that was original was the foreword. Oh dear, oh dear. The truth comes out again and sadly so - oh, not that the truth came out, but the questions raised once more about Melania and her innate intelligence and possibilities or lack of them to serve as the First Lady in every which way she is supposed to do and be.
     So what gives here? Is she an abused wife? Emotionally, if not physically? Is she forced into these situations? Does she have a brain of her own, a mind of her own, and is she capable of resisting the situations of mockery and derision in which she is placed?
     And the rest of the crap of this administration goes on. Look at these numbers. All TPS people in this country legally, who have made lives here. 57,000 Hondurans. 195,000 Salvadorans. 46,000 Haitians. 273,000 American born children who will either be separated from their parents or thrown out of their own country. 690,000 Dreamers. Just look at those numbers. Are or have we grown so cruel and how has this happened?
     The government seems willing to sacrifice the life of a top source of intelligence for us. It is willing to see tens of thousands of seniors thrown out of nursing homes in Louisiana due to denial of Medicaid. We find that companies are actually receiving little 'gifts of law" that allow them to save millions upon millions of dollars even as the people struggle. We read that AT&T has given Cohen money to gain insights about the Trump administration.
     Aw, c'mon!! Enough of this cruelty. Enough of this nastiness. Enough of this immoral behavior. Enough of these brazen lies and the who cares attitude. Enough of this not America! C'mon!!!
