It’s Not Just Business As Usual

The Bizzarro world that we’ve been living in for two plus years is beginning to implode before our very eyes.

The members of the Trump brigade are scrambling for lawyers. I believe that both the Russian and the financial investigations, plus the discoveries involved that are surfacing, how shall we say, “are concerning”. It should be easier for them to find legal beagles now that Donald has put 46 Attorney Generals on the “Available for Revenge” list.

When Trump took on Comey and the FBI, he made a big mistake. He’s obviously never watched “The Untouchables”. As I watched Comey testify, I felt like Grace Kelly watching Gary Cooper walk down the street in “High Noon”.  (I know, I know, but life to me is theater, and I like to recast sometimes).

Corruption aside, what other collateral damage will be created in the wake of Trump’s “pass through power”? How many regulations, that he’s eliminated, will be fought for again after another victim dies from neglect? How many people will regress into misery, and for how long, before we recognize it again and fight for their right of spiritual and human equality…again?!

As I am writing this, he is installing bans on Cuba. You know, the good thing that Obama was involved with. That country must feel like they’re holding a daisy, and now it’s “love me not”. There’s so much work ahead of us.

Add to this the shooting at the Congressional baseball practice. The revelation for our Congressional members was that they REALLY are one of US! What was an isolated incident for them, is the daily existence for far too many people in our country. Now maybe they will reconsider some of their votes regarding gun regulation…or the lack of it.

Maybe if we cut their healthcare like they propose to do to us, they would be holding a fundraiser to help cover Steve Scalise’s medical bills because the deductible is more than his family could afford.

Or we could really hit them below the belt and move their parents into assisted living situations, even if it was only to have the one meal they will eat each day, cease to exist.

We could require that all the property that they and their family  reside in, or purchase, is located on shorelines only.  Can you say depreciation?

Yes, we could see the compassion in their eyes and see the oneness that they all felt. The image of all the Who’s circling the WhoVille Christmas tree singing and swaying hand-in-hand came to mind. I DO so hope it’s solid and has permanence.

But I’ve been fooled before. I felt the same cumbia when the Pope was here. That seems to have faded into fairy dust.

I do believe that this is the time in History when the festering pimple will pop. There is no option, the world is going through a metamorphosis, led by our country. We are responsible for the consequences of his impulsive, megalomaniac behavior… because it’s IN OUR NAME!

SO, let’s hope that this attitude of unity and good for everyone does become the norm. That we can come closer to a culture that believes that life, and the quality of that life is far more important than any profit or bottom line…or Party line. We’ll be watching.

I want to leave you with something that should be required viewing by anyone in a position of leadership. It’s from 1940 and worth every one of the 4 minutes in length.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8HdOHrc3OQ
