A couple of years ago I’d have said that the situation we have today was impossible. I mean, come on: an incompetent, racist, sexist, criminal traitor, ushered into the White House by a foreign power – and still there eighteen months later despite all the damage he and his gang have done and continue to do; and on top of that a significant portion of the people who voted for him are still behind him even, claiming to stand by the constitution as he tears it up and burns it a page at a time. Yeah, I know: half of any population is below average intelligence – but this is the country that put men on the Moon. You’d think people wouldn’t be so okay with being lied to multiple times every day. But they don’t seem to care. Rather, they seem to love it that they can bring out the inner racist without shame. And boy, it’s an eye-opener to see that so many people are racist douches.
It’s depressing. It was bad a few days ago, but what’s being done to the families of asylum-seekers is too much. It seems to get worse with everything passing day. (The thing that prompted this post was an article pointing out that the immigration issue is heading in the direction of ethnic cleansing. Here. In America. And what’s really scary is that it’s believable.)
I’m having problems staying focused on day-job concerns, and writing is out of the question at the moment. I feel a need to get the hell out of the house – head out and take a long walk somewhere, maybe take my camera and get some pictures. But (sigh) I can’t – responsibilities and all that. So it’s back to the grind, and try to take my mind off the bad crap for a while.

I read the post, you never said if wanted crooked Hillary, or cummy Sanders for president. A lot that the winner Trump does and many of his ways I totally disagree with. Having worked in the Government for a time years back, it is not easy to deal with the daily changes, sometimes the hourly changes. The government is not a K-school for adults. Again under the same rock, I know he has done right in so many areas, Obama Care, Tax reduction, the strong economy, and making other countries pay some of their obligations. It is not our responsibility to give them money, my tax money. If we are not careful with the new breeds running in the left, give me stuff, socialization of America, GOD forbid, if that ever happens. A few comments from a voter. I did enjoy it.
