TIME TO CHOOSE

     If one is lucky, one can get through life without making some truly life changing decisions. These decisions go deep into the soul and values of the person and are difficult, with none being perfect. Yet, the decision must be made.
     We here in the United States are at that point. Due to a combination of stupidity, naievity, greed, incompetence and yes, malevolent ambitions, we are at a crossroad that will determine not only our future but that of the world as well. We have reached a breaking point and truthfully, if you listen carefully, you can hear the cracks growing.
     A British philosopher, John Stuart Mill, said, "There is no such thing as absolute certainty, but there is assurance sufficient for the purpose of human life." Back to our lives. There will never be a 100% certainty for some diehards who refuse to see the truth or admit their errors, but there is enough there such that anyone with a working brain will accept the fact that we have the worst President ever in our history. Worse than Taylor, Buchanan, Grant, Harding, Nixon, Carter and add in as you feel a need. But this Trump, is beyond the pale. Personally, I think he is clinically mentally ill, saddled with a deep and evergrowing dementia and the sad thing about it is that supposedly sane and moral people are refusing to admit this. So the Emperor keeps parading naked through the streets of the nation even as the sycophants persist in out loud admiration for his nonexistent clothing. No, I stand corrected. The worst thing is the shedding of clothing by these people all in the name of power and the corrupt ill gotten gains it affords them.
     To this point, much to my despair, I have been proven correct in my statements and predictions. It is unfortunate that it took so long for others to see it and even now, there are those who cannot see the forest for the trees. But now we are in crisis mode, a constitutional crisis upon us that can lead to military intervention and war in the streets of the cities and byways of America. Think that is nuts? Well, think again.
     We now have a man sitting in the White House whose evil children roam the world spouting nasty stuff. We have this same man claiming a "great and unmatched wisdom" which makes all his decisions the right ones. Guess every time he reverses himself another bit of 'wisdom' comes into play!! We now have a toddler in an overgrown unhealthy body with a tainted mind who persists in ruling by edict and tweet, all written in ungrammatical language with sentence structure apparently a lost art. The language and threats are all classic schoolyard bully combined with the ego of a toddler, a spoiled one at that, and none too bright, to boot!
     We are supposed to be assuaged by the appearance of his wife who generally hides away somewhere and the 'gift of a nation' in the form of a tennis court!! Right smack between the Children's Garden adn the Kitchen Garden established by two other First Ladies. Is this the  ugrammatical and nonsensical outcome and example of "Be Best"? Puh-lease!
    He is the friend of the little man? Oh, no, he is not, as wages stagnate, expenses and costs rise,  unions are attacked and living conditions in the form of the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the land we live upon, grow worse every hour and there are plans for more disastrous legislation and dictats.
     We have thrown our allies under the wheels of that proverbial bus and are planning to send more in after them. Those who stated and crowed that he was the best thing that ever happened to Israel, well, the "wheels on the bus go round and round" and you are right under them, directly in their path. He deserted our ally, the Kurds, who fought so bravely and well against ISIS. He supports Turkey, no, he doesn't, yes he does, nope, again,until we and the rest of the world cannot rely upon him and his word. But wait! Our enemies can rely on him for their interference in our business grows deeper and deeper and more involved than ever. Yet, these are the leaders he professes to love, to admire, to exchange love notes and remarks. 
     Mark my words, and I hope to G-d this never comes to reality, but should Iran in all its craziness decide to arm and allow all its proxies in the Middle East to attack Israel in a concerted and massive missile attack, deep into its heart and soul, watch how quickly the rat Trump deserts Israel and watch the resulting disaster unfold, even as the wheels on that damned bus keep rolling right through it all. Trump is the worst thing that has happened to Israel and for that matter, to the USA and the world.
    So, if you are finished trying to find one good man or woman in his administration and not succeeding, if you are willing to admit his grievious errors and attacks upon our very spine and basis of our life as a country, as a democracy, then speak out!!! He is not invincible and before the leaders who be, whoever they are, decide that the only way to get him out is to bypass the wimps of the Senate and literally oust him from office, well, we had better do better than that, for follow that road along and one can hear the echoes of explosives and smell the scent of blood in the air and on the streets. We are that desperate and we must not give up doing this the right way.
     "Failure is just success that hasn't happened yet" so we must continue in our righteous path, defend our Constitution, protect the future of the world. Just as his "invincible" new barrier on the border can be climbed by an eight year old- so done, and so proven - he and his minions are also not invincible. We must persist in our path. We must succeed. There is no choice.There is no person above the law!!! Being President, albeit illegitimately, does not confer upon one full immunity, free reign to commit any and all crimes. No one can do that. Not him, not De Vos, not Chao, not McConnell, not Carson, not Kavanaugh, not Pence, not Pompeo, not Giuliani - not a one.
