Playing By Whose Rules

 Playing By Whose Rules.

 

From the era of the Trump Administration to the Post Trump daily incursions against the foundation of this nation, from the current events of the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the Hamas declaration of war against, Israel and the Jewish people, I have witnessed an intended insidious and maligned malicious intent to ignore decency, morality and the common good.  From Trump to the current crop of American Republican Politicians and their Cadre of Wealthy Donors, to FOX to Putin,  and now to Hamas it has been demonstrated that rules, at least for them do not hold any weight, and breaking the rules is their goal win any and all battles, perceived, conceived and real. This group of VIILIANS has no problem lowering the standards for humanity and will continue to go as low as necessary to try and win.  

 

But, when Trump, the GOP, The GOP Wealthy Donors, FOX, Putin, and HAMAS are confronted suddenly they all wilt and want the rest of us to actually PLAY BY THE RULES. Sadly has been the case that sincere, honest, law-abiding, morals and values matter to humans, we fall prey and PLAY BY THE RULES.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Many examples are easy to see as to how the VILLIANS use both sides of PLAYING BY THE RULES to their advantage. Trump blatantly breaks the law, yet he still has a current “stay out of jail card,” while his dozens of accusations await a court date. Trump harasses and threatens people, yet the only consequence, once again, is a Judge weighing his “free speech amendment.” Putin invades Ukraine knowing full well that if Ukraine truly fought back with the same war effort attacking his homeland, a barrage of nuclear weapons would be used. The GOP House Majority uses its best Snake Oil Salespeople to invent crimes and they use a Kangaroo Court to hear those crimes, never playing by the same honest standards of law and order. FOX, lies, lies again, establishing their communication rules, yet whenever true journalism is used to report current events, FOX cries foul. And now HAMAS is hiding in the homes, schools, mosques, and neighborhoods of GAZA placing their population in harm’s way, and after raping, beheadings kidnapping innocents, HAMAS insists that the US and Israel should play by the archaic standards of war.
