Ahhhh, the smell or is it the stench of pretending, of hypocrisy, of insinuation, insult, and lie, performing its dance with politicians, never wanting to seek the truth, just sneak a few perks for themselves, trying to score a point, a trick, a shady deal. We lose ourselves in the real matter, and the momentum moves from equality, fairness, justice, and freedom, to name calling, and parlor games of gotcha’ or gonna getcha.’
The only part of the Constitution that seems to matter to for the Putin paid politicians is the 2nd Amendment, especially the part about buying and owning enough guns to kill, of course to fight off some pretend enemy of the state, who in turn happens to be who you are (Neo Nazi’s, KKK, White Nationalists, Christian Crusaders). Separation of Church and State are so yesterday and the rights of minorities just pesky gnats in the actual fabric of an entirely white and Christian America. The Founding Fathers were not as savvy as we once thought, because they had no idea this nation would sink to such desperate measures as to find its Commander-In-Chief, a Russian agent, its one Legislative Branch a mastery of subversion and sinister intentions. We may not have a king, but we do have an Imperial President and a court full of his jesters whose only satisfaction is the demise of one person one vote, for fear they might be voted out.
I believe it was Saturday’s Wall Street Journal’s Opinion Editor who lamented that Dianne Feinstein is playing a foolish game, the editor insisted, just let the Republicans permit a vote on Kavanaugh. All these last-minute shenanigans are a game of folly, the editor continued. Hmmm…the Democrats never had a chance o even speak the name Merrick Garland, the Dems never had the chance to see all of the reams of potential information on Kavanaugh…Trump has met with Kavanaugh over and over again, flashing his “get out of jail free card…and now the spineless, ball-less GOP MEN won’t even be brave enough to address the words and worries of a woman who has reminded the Senators that sexual harassment still exists, and still is party to a future nominee for the Supreme Court.
And all the while, kids are still being kidnapped or held hostage, families are drinking poisoned water, the people of Puerto Rico are back to dark ages, the folks in the Carolina’s are flooded out from all of that wet water, that Trump so stupidly describes, and that is just in America! We never get to the point, we always avoid it…Games, we watch them so passively as politicians get to set the rules and the regulations, and We The People” are just on the sidelines!
