I was glad to see that recently what to myself was a really big issue in American politics is, at least, being discussed. America has not exactly been noted for it's culture of peace and love but, with the advent of Trump, an atmosphere of anger and hate and lies has been ratcheted to the highest level I have witnessed in my 74 years on this strange planet. Not a day goes by when we are not treated to Trump's daily rant of lies and who shall we hate today. He specializes in holding "rallies" that are nothing more than hate fests where he prides himself on his ability to work his 38% into a screaming rabid mob all wearing silly little red hats. He, of course, has plausible deniability and is adept at passing the buck and blaming his "enemies" for anything that goes wrong. In recent days his Saudi BFF dismembered an opponent, one of his mad dog fans mailed out 13 pipe bombs to various of Donald's enemies and a psychopath murdered 11 Jewish citizens in their place of worship. What was Donald's take on the situation after blandly reading off a few written for him perfunctory "presidential" comments? He was annoyed that these foreign and domestic acts of hate and terror had interrupted his pre election con job.
Well, here we are kids. America the land of hate, fear, anger,lies and every man for himself. A land where the deck is increasingly stacked in favor of the rich and against the poor. The land where truth has been replaced by lies. A land where God's gift of a beautiful and abundant environment is not something to be cherished and protected but something to be plundered for profit. You have a pre existing condition? Sorry, drop dead. Are we great again yet?
