We say that pledge almost every day, some with enthusiasm, others with desperation, some with pride, and others, like me, cannot speak the words if it means pledging allegiance to the false and dangerous government of Trump. Yes, allegiance to the United States of America, as a democracy, as a direct descendant of our Founding Fathers and the heroic soldiers of the Revolutionary Army, but not to Trump and his minions who have callously and cynically, with malice aforethought sought to destroy this nation.
They have invited foreign countries into our affairs, made efforts to subvert our most valued privilege and belief - the right to vote in an honest and tamper free election. Today, in states all over the country, particularly in the South, people are being struck off the voting records, all to keep Democratic votes out of the count. Laws to counteract the right of ex felons to vote in Florida are stomach turning and churning. The right to vote. The right to have an input into how our country is run and who are to be our representatives - all tampered with, casting a great big ugly shadow over this right and results.
Witness after witness speaks of the nasty truths in the Ukraine afair. Witness after witness speaks of the moral turpitude of Trump et al and all they can do is shout insults, baby names and rhymes, and call all those who testify liars. Amazing, is it not, how so many 'liars' there are who managed to come up with the same story!!
We have destroyed our legitimate alliances with friends and cuddled up to our enemies. We speak in disrespectful terms of actions against the enemy, no dignity in the announcement just the same infantile terminology and exaggerations. Gloating over having to kill others is not the right way to go. Even Miriam, the sister of Moses, was chided by G-d for rejoicing as the Egyptians drowned in the Red Sea. Would that this jerk of ours would understand the need to temper, to wholly change his attitudes and behavior before he sends the whole world crashing into who knows what!!
In the meanwhile, the fiercest Santa Ana winds are blowing into burning California, incluing huge swaths of LA. The stock market is shaky, even as it rose yesterday, for the indicator stocks are very strange indeed. Mass shootings continue on, but gun laws? Fuggedaboudit! Children going hungry. Immigrants living here forever being ripped out by and from their roots and private detention centers creating their own hells on earth even as they profit outrageously. Anger runbles through the country, to the extent of that highly unususal huge booing of a sitting President and urging that he be locked up. Well, it brought a smile to my face as he got a taste of his own nastiness and he certainly belongs in jail. The Presidency is not a license to commit crimes without fear of consequences and convictions!!
What's next? The Democrats have opened the public phase of the inquiry and dang, but I do hope it moves briskly along and we get rid of this dude and if the 'Mother" hobbled Pence gets into office, perhaps we need to read him the riot act or impeach him for his part in this whole mess. Hmmm, President Pelosi. Sounds good to me.
As for me, I am looking forward to the upcoming battle between the folks of Alexandria and the Hilltop, the rebuilders of society, the future of man in a Zombie apocalypse, against the Whisperers who are the symbolic destroyers of society as we know it, who ally themselves with the mindless body chomping Zombies. Even better than that, the prequel House of the Dragons is bought for two seasons. I can just hear that GoT theme song again. See, between that, the upcoming Terminator movie, Star Wars, etc., we have so much to await us in the near future and just think, if we can add to that the removal of Trump from office and then toss his ass in jail, well, what a rosy picture of the future!
" I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America......one nation.....with liberty and justice for all.
