But in today's world there are many situations which truly deserve to be called 'ichy pichy'. The lies, for one. When did it become acceptable to lie, to incessantly lie, to lie about lies, to call truth lies, to use the word fake about truth and reality? And when did people become so what? Stupid? Ignorant? Self denying? Lying to oneself? I cannot figure it out but I know that for sure it aggravates and troubles me to the nth degree.
When did it become so bad and sad a situation in DC that an end to it seems ever more distant and impossible. I had hoped that by this point we might have at least reached the end of the beginning, but it seems that nastiness and lies, putrid behavior and hate, not only are not ending, but are instead growing by leaps and bounds, condoned by the powers that be and the powers that want to be.
Junior has proven himself to be a true chip off the old poisonous tree and his statement about teachers was just about beyond the pale but actually fit quite well with the rhetoric of the Trump family.His father has talked trash for almost his entire life, so why not continue the family tradition. Only this time he has taken off after one of the last bastions of our American society and a very dangerous signal as to the truth of the desires and plans of the Trump family and for sure, it is ichy pichy. “you don’t have to be indoctrinated by these loser teachers that are trying to sell you on socialism from birth.” I am proud to have spent my life as one of those "losers".
When a dictator takes over a country, the first thing that is done is to mass arrest all intellectuals and voices of society. Journalists, scientists, doctors, lawyers, and of courses, teachers are arrested. Why, because they value knowledge, truth, justice and why especially teachers? Because they are the last hope for a society. They will do anything, including risking their lives, to educate the next generation, to pass on values, to pass on the need for democracy, for respect for others, for human rights. They give of their own time, their own souls, so sacred is their responsibility.
So here we have a family that wishes to install aAmerican monarchy, the Trump dynasty. The father rails against the media, yet runs his government according to the needs of Limbaugh and Hannity. He praises them excessively and even Coulter, who I for sure despise has come around to realize that the national emergency we have is the fact that "the President is an idiot." Well, welcome to the club!!
But not so much of an idiot is he when he continuously challenges the Constitution, the division of powers that make our democracy function, adds to his own powers to the point that we are almost being run totally by dictat and fiat from his ugly mouth and mind. I have warned about this trend for quite some time already and there are many that have joined in the outcry and the warnings. I have pointed out his takeover of the judiciary, a signpost of encroaching dictatorships and loss of liberty, of justice, of hope, of future - just look at Hungary and Poland - and impose upon our judiciary system and the growth of incompetent judges all with the Republican stamp of approval and many with the ABA stamp of disapproval.
Several years ago Trump said the "American Dream is over" and he was so right - as long as he is in office, as long as we have Senators with no backbone, no moral codes of their own, who wish to share in the loot and dismemberment of our country. We are despised by the nations of the world even as the ass boasts of how much respect we are getting. Yet what do we call it when Pence send Trump's greeting to the nations of the world and waited for applause and instead got dead silence. Why do we here in the country seem to be the last people to recognize the truth and the danger.
Yes, the dream is over as we refuse to remain a haven of safety and hope for the world. The dream is over unless we fight back, throw him and his minions out of office, return to the progress we had made in insuring better and better government. The emergency - oh, yeah - I feel for him standing there at the omelet bar , the tension mounting, which should he choose and as for the other 'emergency' well, that could wait, omelets and golf come first. The exaggerations and the lies - a very dangerous ichy pichy.
Demand that your reps do the right thing. Demand that they stand up for America and not kneel down for Trump. Demand your rights. Demand human decency. Bring about the downfall of the most powerful effort since we became a country, to turn it into what it is not meant to be. The danger is clear and present.
One way to turn the situation around is to choose well and I must say that Klobuchar seems to be an excellent alternative to the crap we now have in office. She is knowledgeable. She is tough. She can be kind and she can apply the truth. She knows how to work with people and is not an extremist of any side. the more I read of her, the more I like her. “We’re going to look at each other and look at the challenges we face in this country,” climate change, lowering health care premiums and the cost of prescription drugs, immigration as the bedrock of American values, passing privacy laws to rein in technology companies, and the importance of protecting voting rights.
Music to my ears, my heart, my soul. No ichy pichy here.
