CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

    Many times that seems to be the motivational theme of the actions of people. Sometimes it is fun to challenge oneself, see if something is posssible, can be done without detection. Then the confession of the doer of the deed adds laughter,  surprise and even awe to the situation. It is one thing, though, when it is a kid's challenge, or even an adult's surprise, but when it is a challenge in a persistent pattern of behavior, mostly tilted towards the criminal side, then uh oh!
     This is what we seem to have in our Deranged One's world. It is always catch me if you can. Hide. Obfuscate. Stonewall. Lie again. Twist the facts. Deny the facts. Refuse to obey the law. Create your own laws. The worst thing about it is how he has managed to turn a respected political party into a bunch of pathetic, yet dangerous, stooges, running alongside and behind him as they meekly and cowardly play along in his catch me if you can dangerous and harmful games.
     There is something so wrong going on when the man persists in hiding. What is he hiding? The facts are what he is hiding. The truth is what he is hiding. Or should I say trying to hide, for once again, the truth will out. Always and forever. But the truth is so foreign to the world today that it is questionable if people will recognize and act on it.
     Freedom of information is now a factor in life here in these United States of America. Using that, Trump et al were forced to release an email which tied Trump even closer to the stoppage of aid to Ukraine. 90 minutes after his "perfect" phone call, the aid was stopped, an order given to hold it off. This email was released through the efforts not of the House, but of an organization after the truth. They forced the release of this email. What else is there, waitng for the light of day?
      Thus the rising chorus of questions: what is Trump et al hiding? How deep is the collusion between Trump and members of Senate? How many laws have been broken? How much damage to the security of our country has taken place?  How much more is planned? What is the end result  of all this to be?
     Despite efforts by the now deeply compromised Justice Department which now serves as a drooling tool of Trump's, to try to maintain that the testimony of McGahn is no longer needed, the House committee maintains that as more facts come out, more testimony is needed, more documents need to be released.
     Folks, we cannot all become Gabbards. We cannot stand there with a foot on either side of the issue, refusing to come down on one side or the other. Despite wimping out on the impeachment vote, she now states that "Trump is not fit to serve". Well,hello there, Tulsi. So why did you not vote to impeach? One cannnot waffle any longer. The time has come to commit. The time has come to stop this runaway corrupt government and right all the wrongs.
     There are so many wrongs. Some of the most egregious are the ones taking place in immigration related areas. A new investigation is being  opened into all this, asking questions, opening up the filth to the light of day, hopefully, to address the wrongs, the crimes, the violations of civil rights, the cruel conditions of the immigrants.
     We must ask ourselves how this all happened and our role in it. We must take on responsibility instead of pleading stress or ennui with the situation. We must not say that it does not concern us, for it most certainly does. We are all each other, like it or not. One violation of humanity is a crime that reflects on all of us. No one expects perfection, but we certainly should not accept this tainted, corrupt administration and what it has inflicted upon our country, in both philosophy of life and existential life, the realities of life. 
     No, catch me if you can may be an okay title for a movie, but not for a philosophy of life, especially one tainted and stained by all that is bad, all that is inimical to a good and responsible life, a life which strives to reach that elusive goal of perfection and makes better people of all of us.
     We have caught Trump in his high crimes, how he has become a clear and present danger to the country. Let us act bravely and truly on those findings and let us clear out the rest of the ugliness, from the over 600 pardons of Bevin, of murderers, of general creeps, rapists,etc, from Departments that are corrupt and violate their true mandates, from the stench of all that is emanating from the ever growing and nourished swamp of Trumpian DC.
     Catch me if you can? Wrong. We have caught you and now let us act upon that!!
