Where the hell are we? How did we get here and do we like it here? Personally, I am not sure of our exact physical location, perhaps somewhere in the circles and levels of Dante's Hell, but for sure, mentally, morally and emotionally, we are getting ever and ever closer to the nadir. I am not sure how much lower we can go other than ramping up roundups, expanding holding centers into their true endings as concentration camps and prisons, and just admit out loud that we have tossed it all away, thrown it all on the garbage heap of history.
I ask, I plead, pay attention to what we are doing. We have a criminal who is a clear and present danger to the Republic, to America, yet he gets to trumpet his lies, to tweet away with his crude and hurtful and ignorant words, yet we strive to terrify a parent by adding to the charges against her for doing something wrong, stupid, but out of love and so what!! If the kid is holding her own, then leave it alone. Evidently there is talent or brains there so why threaten and scare a mother with ridiculous Henry VIII kind of charges?
We have a delegation going to Greenland for what purpose - to quid pro quo them until they sell themselves to us? We had a great "success" in Syria and have removed the moronic sanctions against Turkey, a country which did exactly what we allowed it to do! And the success? I guess it is measured in body counts of Kurds, men, women and childen who were slaughtered when we abandoned them, giving free reign to their murderers. Shame on us! The blood of these people is on our hands, our faces, our souls, for we have allowed this man Trump to have his way when from the beginning he was illegitimate, an election tampered with by his BFFs, our enemies.
Where are we when just about every official appointee of his is corrupt and/or incompetent. DeVos wants to send all to private and/or religious schools at taxpayers cost. This would upend the prized and valued public education of this country which has allowed so many to enter, send their children to free school, and integrate into society. Personally speaking, we sent all our kids to private schools and paid the freight ourselves. We made choices and stuck by them - and out of our own pocket - and not at the public trough.
And do not think that if you oppose this man, either from the beginning or gradually, or suddenly as his cruelty and incompetence and corruption slappedyou in the face, that you are free of all taint. We are all guilty of his crimes. We allow them to deport a Marine Iraqui veteran of multiple tours who suffered a TBI. Instead of helping him, we ignored him as he devolved, was sent to prison and summarily tosssed the hell out of the country he served, even as Old Bone Spurs stands there with his hypocritical salute.
We are all complicit in the harming nad murder of children. We have reduced the SNAP program - food stamps - so the food intake into homes is drastically limited. We have cut lunch subsidies so let them go hungry and then let us blame them for not doing well in school. We then work hard, oh so hard, to cut their medical care, over 400,000 off special children's health programs, and yes, there were many "Americans" on that program, so cut the bitching that we gave this care to illegals. Learn and accept the truth of what we have allowed. Deport, separate, mistreat, destroy, starve and refuse medical treatment - and all this to children, those dangerous enemies at the gate, Yes, they will grow up to be enemies as they think back on what we have done and allowed!
Oh, but wait, here's an idea. Trump boasts, mind you, that we are building all these 'beautiful' walls - even in Colorado!! What an ignorant ass. But, how about we then take New Mexico and dump all of the present and former Trump accomplices into that isolated state, to share the very air and water and land with citizens of Spanish, Mexican, and Native American descent. Huh! That would be a sight. Perhaps we can send Republicans on tours there so they can see what they have wrought with their actions and inaction. And no, storming a deposition room where they ARE NOT allowed, because they are not on committee, but their fellow Republicans who are, are in that room. Recall what I said about mobs and mob conduct in yesterday's posting.
So where are we? Remember fairy tales that we read as children? Well, they are actually not so childlike and here is one message from a well known one - "East of the Sun, West of the Moon".
"Can you tell me the way then, and I will seek you...."
"Yes, you may do that", said he; but there is no way thither. It lies east of the sun and west of the moon, and never would you find your way there."
We are so lost,finding our way to a lost place and cannot figure out how we get out and return to sanity, morality, trust and competence.
