The numbers have sadly grown, of those discovered dead in the horrific fires in both Northern and Southern California. The First Responders look worn and weary and have not stopped trying to save lives, property and the spacious landscape, home, let’s not forget, to a variety of the innocent critters providing the ecological balance of nature. Troops of 5000 and beyond are stationed 80 miles from our Southern Border, away from their families, costing taxpayers eons of dollars, and diminishing the spirit and purpose of saving to defend our country. The Caravan of Asylum seekers suddenly has fewer criminals and people of Middle Eastern background, and look more and more and like innocents in need of safety and security. We still have no idea where some kidnapped children have been jailed, we still have cafes in warehouses set up as if some kind of human zoo had been erected, and for some families, we have created orphans, who have no idea why or what the hell has happened. The people of Puerto Rico are still, a year later being threatened that if they still complain regarding the poor performance by FEMA, they too will never again receive Federal Aid. Our election system is so flawed, not a new predicament, but an old and ugly situation which follows failure year after year, that some contests have not been counted, leaving more and more speculation for fake news to inspire all kinds of falsehoods and conspiracy theories. And suddenly with the wave of Blue candidates being elected, McConnell and his band of Russian collusion criminals are crying for bipartisanship, heralding the Dems as the cause for the rupture of democracy in the Congress.
More and more, Trump is swinging at imaginary enemies, and developing an even more exhaustive list of the bad guy, from journalists to nations, to politicians who have finally found some kind of backbone, or is it an awareness that the Trump virus, may not have infected as many people as once thought. Climate is still changing, tax cuts have done nothing but increase the deficit, and help embolden the wealthy. Nepotism is alive and well. The Trump businesses have been outlets for public funds to find a home, and the Mueller probe trudges on and on….immediate problems and predicaments, all that should require PRIORITY…and yet!
All I hear now, as hey dress in their finest Talking Head attire as if the world around them is not on a collision course with the sun, is who will run in 2020, who will replace Nancy Pelosi, will Chuck Schumer remain the Minority Leader, and who should we prepare for 2020. Is the media crazy? Are we the people nuts…We just had an election, an election, mostly based on the here and now and the desire to fix the broken system…but hours and hours are spent on a dreamy kind of easy to read script…you know, the let's pretend, we have managed to take care of the immediate, now forget about it and play what do you want to be when you grow up in the year 2020!
