vlyons's JournalI am so tired of Trump theater
Trump's continuous drama, over and over and over. Yet always the same plot, same characters, same same same same.
Tired of the talking heads endlessly talking about him. Tired of him showing up in my FB news feed. Tired of his tweets. Tired of his lies. Tired of his stupidity. Tired of his vulgarity, his cruelty, criminality. Trump has become just another TV and movie genre that I instantly dislike and never watch, because it is so very tiresome and predictable.
The very best thing that I can say, is that as an extremely unpleasant experience that comes before me, Trump challenges me to maintain a calm and peaceful mind, rather than allowing anger to kidnap me and drag me out the door.
Turn all-Trump off, and turn on some classical music to clean the atmosphere and lift my spirits.
Marianne Williamson for POTUS
I had never heard of this woman before this week, but her candidacy has intrigued me. She is calling for something that I have been eager to hear for a long time -- a spiritual and moral regeneration in our country. When I went to her web site, I found that she advocated many Dem liberal ideals about medical access, education, jobs, peace, retirement with dignity, climate change, etc. But what truly caught mt attention, was her advocacy about ethical morality. It wasn't the standard hypocritical religious bullshit. But rather, it mirrored my own feelings about creating a compassionate and enlightened society.
Her chances of getting the Dem nomination are pretty slim. But even so, I hope that she can infuse the debate about the need for ethical morality into our body politic. We simply must prevent our gov from becoming a vehicle for corruption and crony capitalism. We must insist that our political leaders have a moral compass that it well-aligned.
I ask that all my DU friends to visit her web site and give it a look. https://www.marianne2020.com/
I turned off the SOTU
Nothing but empty platitudes and hypocritical posturing. I switched channels to watch a movie about Mary Shelley. It galled me to see all those dreadful nasty old fat white power-mongers crowd to shake his hand.
He's a fucking traitor
My SOTU prediction
During his SOTU speech, either Trump will pull the trigger on declaring an emergency, OR he will do it during Stacey Abrams rebuttal speech.
I accept Gov Notham's apology
can we not destroy him like we did Al Franken please? I accept Notham's apology. It was timely, sincere, and did not equivocate the seriousness of racism. He has pledged to win back our trust and to work for the benefit of all his constituents. I believe him.
