I feel the lights flickering within. I see the darkness that is left behind. And I ask myself just what will be with my country; just what will this man leave behind to take pride in and for? The smacks to our national ethos keep coming down the track and I do not see an end to it unless and until Mueller says it is done and time for all the accusations and indictments to be public.
The question is will it? It seems that the more dirt that is uncovered, the more dirt begins to appear. How does one react to laughing at the stupidities of a person, at his greed and sheer gall at attempting to rob the people of money to enhance his own bottom line. Sure, just have the government use our money to pay to house people in his hotel in Scotland! Just have the foreign toadies line up to book in his Washington hotel and where does that money go? You guess. You have one try.
Everyone around him is touched by the dirtiness and yes, tragedy. We are a tragic nation now, enmired in muck, wondering if we are sputtering with last gasps as we allow a corrupt and incompetent individual, a man with no class or set of ethics, an immoral being, a man such a this, to run the country.
He rants in private and even in public in Hitler like storms. He accuses all of traitorous behavior. His associates are of the same ilk, enmired in their own selfish plans, tainted with dirty money and overblown egos, and the smell of compost in DC reeks overpoweringly.
And yet, I wonder. How do we stop this runaway train of corruption, of accusations, of nastiness, of incompetence that puts the world in danger? Even should we get rid of this man, who is there behind him? Pence. Ugh!! A man who is not allowed to talk to a woman without his wife's presence and permission. Can you see Merkel or May sharing top secrets with the missus so Pence can remain "untainted" by his inner lust? ! Shades of Jimmy Carter who "lusted in his heart." A man who has designs on the rights and independence of women, who wants to turn the clock back to the fifties. Overload!! Overload!!
What have we done? What have they done to us? Where do the fault lines lay and will the fissures of our own political volcano destroy us once and for all? Watch it creep into our daily lives as the price of gasoline is shooting up once again. As people now find out that thanks to the "tax cut' of the Republicans, they will be paying lots more taxes to the states. And not to lose sleep, the big guys will do just fine; it is the fading middle class that will be socked hard. Our children are becoming jaded in and by the system - not a good thing. Cynicism, selfishness, apathy or the other side - of violence, hatred among the 'tribes' of America. Which way will they choose, none of them truly the best way, correct? And the rest of the world has gone off the tracks, with revolutions and rebellions, selfish and murderous behavior growing by leaps and bounds and why not?
The United States of America, which used to throw its weight behind human rights is now busy destroying them in its own country, so everything is up for grabs. Enemies become heroes in the mind of a deranged individual and another demented one with neither heart nor soul is praised for kidnapping people, holding them prisoner and then releasing them as if he has done such a wonderful good deed. Do we praise a child who steals another's possessions, or kicks someone when they are down and then praise him for stopping the kicking? Truly!
Overload! Overload! Danger Ahead!
Gotta take a break before I lose what is left of my sanity! Where is my book, my cup of root beer, my favorite chair and yes, there is that piece of chocolate. Ahhhh. Relief - for a bit.
