MONEY AND MOUTHS

     Almost every language and culture has a saying which basically reminds people that saying is not enough. Put the money there. Put the action there. Back up what you are mouthing with true actions. If not - then you are just doing nothing, or even exacerbating the problem.
     We are at a critical point now here in the country and our saying of 'put your money where your mouth is" is quite relevant. Where are your mouths and your money? Have you spoken out about and against the rampant rotten atmosphere of the country? Have you called Trump to account before all of us and explain and answer under oath, to display all that he should? Have you grown tired of a deranged man sitting in the Residence or the Oval Office or wherever his dementia takes him, sitting and tweeting mean and nasty stuff? If so, then do something. Write, call, text, barrage your representatives with demands for actions, for explanations, for reality checks, for moral courage.
     At this point in time I am finding it harder and harder to distinguish between the Trump manifesto and that of Hitler or any fascist dictator for that matter. The same deranged ranting and raving. The same paranoia. The same hatred of all others, even the deep suspicion about his own aides and the constant musical chairs of these very aides. The fright of people and the loss of their moral backbone. The eagerness of some, too many, to bring his fiats to reality, never mind the moral evilness of them.
      His behavior  "degrade what it means to be an American."

The U.S. has to find a way to return to decency.

"I think we will still then have work to do on repairing the tone in our country, the exposure of the real racist and sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic feeling which is on the rise in our country - a rot that has been exposed,"

    So says Chelsea Clinton and we all should agree with her for there is nothing to challenge her on this statement. Rather all back up her statement. Missing a child? Oh, too bad, if you are brown or black or pink or purple, for if you are a migrant, bah, humbug!!!That'll teach you to try to get here and achieve a better life. That'll teach you how lowly you are, how untermensch you are , how few or no rights you have to have a family in the first place!!! What is next? Slave markets for these children after they are ripped away? Open markets, open hunting season on them? How does one take even little ones, ones who cannot even speak or even walk yet, take them away and then lose them? How are they to be reunited and the answer is, they will not be. They are lost forever from their parents and the government, why they deny any and all responsibility for these kids. Uh huh. Just like the police who did the roundups of Jews, the hunters of Rohingya and Tutsis, the hunters of Christians or Buddhists of Hindus, deny all responsibility for they only followed orders and they are not responsible for what happens next.
     The judges? Why they are following the law! Is the law moral? That bothers them not. So they join the judges of Nazi Germany who said the same thing - and found out they were wrong but not before tragedy.
     So once again we have Rubio opposed to a Trump deal with ZTE but he has a habit of falling off the truck before delivery. We have another Congressman leaving because all people ask him is what is going on with Trump, his lies, his behavior.
     Budget battles once more and are the representatives of the American people finally going to stand firm and do the right thing or are they going to cave again and give us another huge deficit push? Will they give the funds for that hateful wall or will they better use it to feed hungry American citizens, pay teachers, retraining for people, fix the infrastructure and fix the tax system so there is parity and justice for the burden carried by us?
     When, people, when, are all of us going to wake up and die right!!When are we going to assess actions or inactions and stand up for the truth, for morality and decency? Erin go bragh as they took a step forward for women in their vote and we, us, should hang our heads in shame as we go backwards. Time to chew down the man who makes up lies about spygate and spies and witch hunts and paranoiac statements, who hides the truth, who demands indecency and cruelty in his followers and who, worst of all, actually has followers, otherwise thinking people who seem to have lost their marbles when it comes to him and his faults and misdeeds.
     Time for him to go on mere incompetence and deranged behavior. Demand a medical exam first if one wishes, a true exam, and  not by a drunk! Take the pet scans and the tests that will show the damage to his mind and get him gone and install the next dude but with fair warning to him - do the right thing, leave your religious extremism behind, man up about your wife, learn how to control your thoughts so if a woman is in your office with you - you can withstand 'temptation'!! Time for us to demand and get the leadership we need and deserve. Money and mouths. Check the location of yours.
