And Then, This Week

And Then, This Week...

I write this blog as a therapeutic tool for sane people.  Because what else are we going to do.  Our country has been taken over by idiots, fools, liars, deplorables, troglodytes, narcissistic, selfish …. (insert your word of choice here).  

Donald Trump embarrassing our country at the UN, ongoing damage and struggle by people from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria.  People dying in Florida and Puerto Rico and islands from lack of power and resources.  Millions of homes destroyed.  Trump does a campaign rally in Alabama condemning a black football player who peacefully protested. Mitch McConnell again wants to take away everyone’s healthcare, because they want to make the Koch brothers proud and collect their $400 Million.  I also read all these other quotes from white male Republican CHRISTIANS who talk about the hurricanes and we should all be on our own, we do not have the right to protest, and as Mr. Pence says, losing our healthcare is part of our democratic society.  Let’s fire Jemele Hill because she dared label Trump as a white supremacist, which he proceeds to prove daily that he is.  Dictatorship - yes.  You, the people must follow my rule, or you are “fired,” or dead to me.  Such a sad excuse - again, my favorite word with definition - 

Travesty:  a false, absurd, or distorted representation of something:

"the absurdly lenient sentence is a travesty of justice"

And Then, This Week

What are we to do with all this information?  How do we survive this onslaught?  What power do we have?  I would LOVE if “We, the People” were able to say “enough is enough” and make changes.  At this point, I want to take back our country.  Our country and our values and freedoms are being taken away from us, and we are being put in danger.  

Our democratic system is broken.  The Russians influencing our election and hacking our systems is proof of that.  So, why can’t we, as other countries do, call this an illegitimate election and have another election of the 2 parties. Hillary Clinton is the rightful president. And we know it but can’t do anything about it.  

Mitch McConnell stole the Supreme Court seat by being undemocratic, and we know it and can’t do anything about it, and now we have an extremist judge who does not care about the citizens.

Members of the White House break the rules consistently and daily, yet they are still in position - emoluments clause, lying on their forms, lying to hearing committees, stealing funds for private jets, luxyr, yet they continue.

Do Not Normalize Crazy

Mitch wants to take away everyone’s health care, except theirs, of course, and cost us and states millions, and millions will die.  He really doesn’t care.  More important to him and the Republican party to repeal ACA.  Why is that?

Our Republican Party no longer has any moral fiber and will do whatever, including manipulate and lie, for money.  

Just the beginning.  So, as a people, and citizens of the United States,this is our government, and our politicians, why can’t we take our government back.  The rules, laws, Constitution that were good, are no longer honored.  Right to carry arms has been twisted into AK47’s by the NRA, free speech has been twisted into the KKK and hate mongering and white supremacy,  Immigration has turned into hatred by our president and they are separating parents and babies, and letting people die, and sending people back for no reason to dangerous conditions, and banning people who do no harm.  Elections no longer indicate the vote of the people.  Al Gore and Hillary Clinton both won the popular vote, but due to an antiquated electoral college system AND deceit by the Florida Attorney General and other failures, including Russia, neither of them became president.  

 

This is not what the people I know stand for.
