and one more day

I am embarrassed that Trump is speaking to the members of the United Nations, not because the majority of members of various nations are any less sleazy, sinister or sly, but because, any words Trumps uses to speak, supposedly represent me, an American, and me, an American with a conscience! I have given up the on the hope that resolutions from politicians, no matter their language, religion, or color of skin, actually are formed from a foundation of truth and honor, but rather rhetoric so particularly parsed that its true meaning, is vapid and void of any substance at all!  Words matter, but words spoken by men like Trump are just escaped routes to avoid being found the fraud!

In this nation, we still have Concentration Camps. In this nation, we have an Administration which has broken at least a dozen laws created to try and keep democracy alive well after the year 1776! In this nation pretend that a court, the Supreme Court, if you will, is conceived of conscionable men and women, capable of wisdom and void of politics, when in fact, the entire structure of the highest court in the land is NOTHING but activist judges, who are simply Lobbyists, wearing long black robes instead of suits and ties! In this nation, we no longer care if the law is broken, but rather what are the consequences, politically, if we try to fix it…the bad guy can get away with murder if the good guy complains too loudly. In this nation we have people identify themselves as Patriots as they wave the Flags of two nations both at one time intent on the destruction of democracy and the implosion of its Institutions. In this nation, we still debate the innuendo and ignore the facts.

One more day, and one more day, and one more day, how does the end of this nightmare finally finish? “It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.” ― Noël Coward, Blithe Spirit
