WELL I DO!

     So our semi disappearing First Lady has reappeared wearing a jacket from Zara - Zara! - the same shops that my granddaughters like to find good deals, and on it there is a mysterious message - "I Don't Care. Do U?
     Well. Zara? Incongruous. A message, perhaps trying to be like everyone else, one with the masses? Or a message to Donald that she does not care what he thinks and she is going  and making statements that she wishes and that jacket was on her back when she deplaned upon her return. Whatever, it does ask a question of the country and unfortunately many will answer that they, too, do not really care.
     Or perhaps it is the message that she has not fallen for her husband's fake and forced capitulation re separation of families at the borders. And lookee here what garbage has come to the surface. And remember that I warned that there was a lot of muck underneath it all.
     The Office for Refugee Resettlement. A shiver goes thru me at the use of that word - resettlement. How many are they planning and will this supposedly benign term eventually morph into a resettlement akin to the Japanese internments of WWII or that of the Jews in Nazi Europe? And please, do not say or mouth that ridiculous statement that it cannot happen here. It HAS happened here.
     Even as that crocodile is saying how hurt he was about the kids, the separations will continue according to a private statement by Nielsen. The government on the civilian side has now looked into the settlement or is that resettlement of at least 20,000 kids on army bases! Army bases! Anyone still not shuddering? Anyone still not caring? And now it has come out that these kids and others caught in this resettlement net for whatever reason have been illegally sedated with powerful psychotropic medication, used for experimentation, and simply just about abused in every which way one can   think. The simple - simple? - act of ripping away from parents is a violation of human rights.
     And let us not compare this to one convicted of murder or robbery or kidnapping -hmmm, would that mean that we would have to take all the children of those implicated in this official kidnapping and holding for ransom that the government is pulling? Interesting thought, that. These parents, for the most part - and I am being generous here - are simple people willing to go through hell in order to get their kids to a better place. To a place where they will not be forced into a gang or to service a gang member, or forced to kill, or live in a hopeless, dark world. These parents too dream the same way that our parents and grandparents and go down the line all dreamed and that included Trump who is only second generation born here. Remember that , Donny Boy. Wonder if he is convicted of a crime if he can be deported back to country of original origin, Germany. Can you just see Angela Merkel greeting him, throwing tons of candy, a hail of candy at him?! Love it!!
     But seriously. What are we doing. We are going to lock up thousands upon thousands of children in makeshift shelters on army bases in some of the toughest areas of our country? We are going to use soldiers to guard these oh so scary kids? Will the soldiers change diapers? Will they herd the older kids? Will these kids grow up in a lawless society that we have forced them into and of course, making sure they never receive a touch of love or encouragement!
     That weasel Sessions and all the rest of those hypocritical religiosos, shame on all of you. The Bible does not okay this. It does not okay slavery. It does not okay oppression of children. It does not okay separating children from family. It does not okay keeping these children away, NOT reuniting them with their parents. It does not okay losing these kids in the system somewhere. And even if it did, even so, the simple laws of humanity do not okay this!!!
     So for the question Do U Care? please answer a resounding yes. Be sure to keep our humanity. Be sure to look for the ways to change this administration, to throw them out of office, to regain the true American soul and be able to hold our heads up high once again. Do U Care? I do. A lot. We all should. How can we not?
