MeDot everything you wrote about is the kind of stuff that keeps me up all night. It did last night. I start praying and thinking and then, I just go off on a tear until, well last night, 3 a.m., when I ran out of adjectives to describe Trump and his affect on this country. I don't know how to register this sense of outrage. Every single elected official in D. C. is complicit in this wholesale neglect and abuse of the American people. Every last one of them.
Not one of them has the spine to step up and try to stop it. Oh, plenty have spoken out but words are cheap and everyone there is out to save their own ass, prestige, power and status.
Our citizens are waiting in bread lines. Waiting for help to keep the lights on, the heat, the A/C, a roof over their heads and food on the table. People are facing eviction and what do the D.C.'ers do? They take off for the holidays to their gated communities, mansions, their vacation homes for god sakes. You know, let them eat cake. People are grieving, people are sick, people are dead and dying as I type this.
So many promises, so many pledges, and so. much. BS.
Oh Trump might veto the relief bill because he wants the checks increased. So he goes off to Mar a lago (at our expense) without ever addressing it again except to stick that carrot in front of the horse that probably gave some of our people a sliver of hope. Then he takes it away and makes them wait LONGER. When is the last time and how long has HE ever waited for ANYTHING in his life?
Does he know a world where he couldn't get medical treatment? Where there wasn't enough food? Where he didn't know he had a home from one day to the next? Has he ever worried for a single second of his life about whether or not the heat would get shut off in winter? Has he ever once in his life waited for ANYTHING at all? Has he ever waited in line during a pandemic for hours just to exercise his right to vote only to have the incumbent stomp all over their efforts? Has he ever lived under a President of the United States who got off on torturing the American people?
Yeah see, this is how I get going on a night like last night. There's no end to it and why? Because THERE'S NO END TO IT!
