POLEAXED!!!!!!

     Well, you might as well hit me again with that steel pole, or wooden bat, or the tome of the justice system in America, for it is all the same. The system is broken. It is not working and the proof of the pudding is that after a many paged, year and a half intensive deep dive into the workings - and  mind -  of Trump, and revealing the fraud he committed on paying - or not paying taxes, his open lies about his supposed  Horatio Alger beginnings - well, and he is still in the Oval Office!!! Hit me again!!
     How many times must more and more filth be revealed about this man and his chosen henchmen before we get rid of them? How much more time do we need to acknowledge that he is a moral failure, a pervert, a liar and a cheat, the very polar opposite of a patriot, a misogynist, a narcissist, and any other name one can think of that would accurately pin down his issues. Demented would be a good start here!
     His obsessive and rather dangerous penchant for picking bad people is ringing alarm bells all over the country and the world, yet his Senate Republicans sit there fussing and moaning over the fact that they need to get this Kavanaugh in office, on the bench, so he can continue to destroy the country for the next four decades!! One pervert more in the mix so what does it matter, right?
     So a fake investigation, rushed, limited, and designed to force approval of Kavanaugh was reluctantly launched and the FBI was emasculated from the get go. No reinterview with Kavanaugh or Blasey Ford. No interview with the dozens that came out openly and spoke of their knowledge of the truth of his earlier years and the point is not that he was a drunk, or that he continues to maintain his love of beer; it is that he lies about it all. Denies that he could ever possibly have done such a thing, that he was a blackout drunk in those years, high school, college and law school. And going to Yale, as he stressed, so what? He was a legacy, he was a drinker, he was a drunkard, he was and is a liar and instigator and falls right into the presidential camp of women haters. And all we heard was that now wanted  from Prof. Ford was the record of her therapy sessions - without interviewing her again! Poleaxed again. Yet again!
     Now the scene is set, the stage prepared for the liar and cheat - no, not Kavanaugh but Trump - to get his way yet again. When questioned about his taxes he blusters away, lying through his miserable teeth and having his staff swear to those lies. And he follows through with this other 'minor' issue. Setting up the fake investigation, handling it all from the WH, scrunching the time down from the already inadequate week asked for, limiting its scope, limiting the time available for the Senators to read the report - not that it will make a difference anyway - and rushing through a cloture vote and a confirmation vote - poleaxed yet again! 
     WE, the country, are down for the count and the count is getting pretty damn close to a ten count. Will we get up yet again, stand up straight and fight back or are we going to concede and turn this country, this proud nation, over to a bunch of dangerous fools, implicit and/or complicit in this disaster? When famous writers are also talking about a Civil War - welcome to the club, late, but there - then I get truly frightened. What have we wrought?? And yes, it is our fault that we did not force this guy out from the beginning, that there are still fools and dangerous bigots who stand with him and cheer on his nastiness, that women!!! still could support him. Dear Lord! Where are the brains and heart of people? Certainly not with the thousands of kids now transferred to a desert camp, no oversight, left to rot due to this man and his followers Nazi like racial ideas.
    We, it seems, are all poleaxed. Will we get up yet again, or are we going to stay down and wait for that ten count? Are we going to cede all that is right and  allow the United States of America to have a government run by liars, cheats, criminals, insider traders, people who misuse our money, or are we going to stand up and demand justice and action? Will we do what we must, what should have been done months ago or will we wimp out, lose our own moral values and courage and let our nation fall?
      Poleaxed or not, we had better get up. Now!! The consequences of lack of action, of moral strength are too disastrous to contemplate and yet we must. Get the steel pole and bang it where there is far better place for it! Now!
