I just do not know. I cannot figure it out. Are we so brain damaged by the air, the chemicals, the plastic, the whatever it is that we face in our modern lives, that we simply cannot distinguish between safe and not, between asking for trouble and not, able to follow a thought or trail to its inevitable end unless something, anything, is done?
Yes, there are sparks of remaining intelligence, but some are so contradictory that I wonder how some of these people sleep at night. Do they actually understand the ramifications of their deeds and the fact that they have opened gates that do not shut again, unless it be in the opposite direction?
Hard fought for consumer protections were put in place, consumers given the right to have expectations of trust, of protection, of the safety of products. Well, this week they will be gone. As will the right to take the company to court to address the issues and the harm done. Gone. All of it. Just thank good ol' boy, Trump for that. Such a good man, is he not!!
Want our people in the services to be well treated, maintained, provided with the best arms and safeguards? Silly you!! All that money meant for them is going to build that damn wall, the one running right through and over private property, wildlife preserves and trails, Native Amerian reservations, but what the hell, Donny needs his wall. Perhaps he will turn out to be a great graffiti artist and he can go into another career and leave the WH! If wishes would come true.....
Seriously, this act depicts in full detail just what the Senate GOP has done. By failing to convict despite their acknowledgement that what he did was so wrong, and now that he has confessed to much of what he lied about and denied - such a shock- Trump telling lies!! - now he is in full gear, zero to sixty, VROOM!!He can do anything he wants. They told him so and boy, did he grab that baton and run like the dickens.
Congress's constitutional powers have been basically negated - "The re-programming announced today is contrary to Congress's constitutional authority, and I believe that it requires Congress to take action...... such a reprogram attempt "undermines the principle of civilian control of the military and is in violation of the separation of powers within the Constitution.". ... Said by a Republican so where was he before, when it counted? Where were they all? Now they are complaining? What did they think? Where were their collective heads, other than up their own rears, or better yet Trump's. Now they complain! Who are the dummies now and unfortunately the not so dumb are forced to sit and suffer - or are they?
Federal judges, prosecutors, are up in arms at the interference of the government in the form of Trump and stooges into cases with connections to Trump and his egregious misdeeds and sins. People are beginning to wake up, but how and toward what end? Will they just shrug shoulders and give up, saying all politicians are the same , thus allowing - Oh G-d Forbid - another term of Trump during which things will pass the point of no return?
Or will they gird their loins as the Bible tells us, screw their courage to the sticking point and go after the crooks and criminals, the rabidly greedy people sucking our country dry, wasting our money, raising the debt beyond all realistic terms, and worst of all, impinging on our rights with every step they take, determined to remove them all.
There are good people out there. Never mind the extremists, though again, I would vote for a rotting tree stump against Trump if I had to. I would not worry, for if we gain the Senate, keep the House, even a Trump could not win out, unless, that is, he declares martial law, calls out the troops, and opens a war on ourseves and do not think that is beyond his megalomaniacal mind, for it surely is not.
Good people. Klobuchar, newly determined men and women - yay! - who are putting themselves forward, willing to take the personal abuse of Trump, the bully. There is Stacy Jmes backstage, so many good people. All we need do is call upon them, vote for them, stop the carnage of our judiciary system, the rending of our Constitution, the encouragement of hatred based on anything one wants to hate. We so need to do this. We truly do.
Only we can help ourselves, no one else. We need to tell foreign countries to get the hell away, particularly Russia and Putin, China and Xi, and all else who would treat us as if we are ignorant, newly born states. We are Americans!! WE ARE AMERICANS and we need to begin to behave again as if we remember what that means, meant, and always will. We truly do.
So who are the dummies now? Take a look around and do not forget that person in the mirror. Look deep and be honest.
