Days of Our Lives.
Permanently on Hiatus.
So along comes the latest daytime drama ---- the Impeachment Inquiries.
Most Americans are dismayed to see the level of corruption on display by the Republican Party and Donald J. Trump. I'm speaking strictly of those Americans perfectly capable of separating fact from fiction. (A little more than half of our total population.)
Here's what I am seeing: a country in disarray and lacking credibility anywhere in the world. And I'm seeing this because a bunch of hopelessly misinformed people voted Donald J. Trump into existence as our President.
Perhaps most interesting (to me, anyhow) is how a man (and I use the term strictly based on gender) who shows no loyalty to anyone, acts as if he's King Henry VIII, and makes up his own reality, is having his karmic output come back to him a thousandfold. This is providence to me.....and providence to me is poetic justice, nothing more. No bearded old guy watching over sparrows......just poetic justice.
There's always been a little bit of a wobble as this planet spins.......and since that horribly fateful day when Donald Trump took office, we have been millimeters close to an all-out catastrophic event. Except for one thing. Donald J. Trump is so inept, so incompetent, that mysterious forces have conspired to take him down.
Maybe its not so mysterious. I live in New Orleans. I suspect there are an awful lot of dolls with pins inside our Parish lines.
Whatever has caused this sudden shift into light from the nightmare most Americans are living under, we need to be very grateful this Thanksgiving, that this very dangerous, genuinely disturbed man pretending to run this country is definitely going down in a giant fireball.
I watched the impeachment inquiries today. My take away is that no one is going to take a fall for Dandy Don. No one is going to take Devin Nunes seriously as he spouts out the same, ridiculous rhetoric that the Republican Party always seems to spout these days. Trouble is.....no one's in the market for snake oil, and Nunes comes off as looking like a priggish little whiner who goes out to dinner far too often. On your dime. At Trump hotels.
Liars always project their lies onto truthful people. They honestly don't get that everyone isn't as big a liar as they are.
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
This is a phrase which today's Republicans will never understand. And that, alone, will save our country.

Ugly Times are Here Again
While everyone is focused on the impeachment inquiry hearings....
The fact that the Republican Party is staging a coup to hold onto their power and replace our democracy with some distorted, archaic process of authoritarianism is going largely unnoticed.
But the sad fact is - these conservatives have had a taste of power, (which for them is like the taste of blood to a vampire bat) and they're simply not going away easily.
The truth - we're in the midst of a coup which, if successful, will set back our country at least 100 years.
If you don't believe me, just look at the crimes being committed by the United States at our borders.
Look at our environmental devastation, and the climate change that is denied, denied, denied.
Every mass shooting that has happened during Donald Trump's reign of terror is fueled by the hate speech emanating from both him and his minions. (Please note - no steps have been taken to reform our superbly lax and certifiably insane gun laws.)
Separating children from their parents, and being unable to reunite them because of the monumental incompetence that defines the Trump administration is a page right out of Hitler's Berlin.
We have religious leaders proclaiming God has sanctioned Donald J. Trump. There is no separation of church and state.
Women's rights are under attack as the conservative men in this coup attempt to return us to 1950, when women knew their place and kept their mouths shut.
Gays are losing rights every single second this president is in power. But it's not just him. There's a game plan by the conservatives, and we'd better wake up and beat them at it real soon.
The very thing that made America such a special place is being replaced with an authoritarian nightmare. Many of us feel powerless to stand against this because we simply do not believe it.
We'd better start believing it.

Louisiana ---- Can it Survive Itself
Four years ago, Louisianians elected a Democratic governor. In a land where people consistently shoot themselves in the foot with their votes for pro-business, anti-human Republicans, this was no small victory.
John Bel Edwards inherited a real financial disaster from Bobbie Jindal (and Eddie Rispone by default) and managed to turn a huge deficit into a surplus in just four years.
He's not my favorite candidate. He oppresses women's reproductive rights. He fails to keep church and state separated and he hasn't, thus far, forced the many oil company interests that thrive here to pay their fair share of taxes. The infrastructure is failing here, but it has not been addressed in any significant way.
Still, someone like Eddie Rispone, who swears that he'll turn this state back 150 years the minute his hand comes off the Bible, is a poor choice by comparison.
I don't know why John Bel Edwards won four years ago. I would like to believe that at least some percentage of Louisianians actually did some research and figured out he was the best candidate. He was. He still is.
But this is a state mired in lack of education and incompetence ---- and it starts at the top with politicians neck deep in a rhetoric that is neither progressive or beneficial. John Bel Edwards was a breath of fresh air in a state that stinks of political ignorance.
I will vote for him again. I hope the rest of the state does too.

Seriously ---- Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States.
I've been around for awhile.
I remember Nixon and the Watergate Scandal that led to his impeachment and removal from office. I remember his head shaking, and his "I'm not a crook" speech.
During the Nixon impeachment, I was a busy mom with two under two. I didn't pay as close attention to the process as I'm able to now.
This impeachment is stunning in its audacity that the President of the United State would engage in the corrupt, criminal behavior, consort with our enemies while snubbing our allies, and then stand before the American Public and complain that the Democrats were "lynching" him.
Here's the thing about Donald Trump.
He's a lying thief.
He's not at all a smart thief.
He surrounds himself with thieves just like him.
His rallies (what president EVER held rallies during their terms?) are full of ignorant people.. Presidents are generally too busy paying attention to matters of state to hold a pep rally. Pep Rallies are for high school football games. Donald J. Trump is operating, at best, at a high school level. A freshman level, at that.
What I'm enjoying about this bastard, big A$$ed, boring Blowhard is watching him unravel under the scrutiny of the House of Representatives and the American Media.
The lies are so easily exposed at this point, but he keeps repeating them because he doesn't have the intelligence not to.
His arrogance is so very transparent now.......it's sole purpose to cover up an empty vessel of a man.....and even "man" is too good a term for this frothing, filthy parasite in the White House.
Yes, watching this goddamned atrocity of a human being go down in history as the Biggest Fool Who Ever Set Foot in Washington is gratifying indeed. If he wasn't so f*cking disgusting and tragic, I'd go out and celebrate his demise. But the day I raise a glass to Donald Trump will NEVER happen.
I am on the threshold of watching democracy take back our country and remove this menace.
Donald J. Trump and his morally bankrupt children are OVER. May they all receive lengthy prison sentences.

Donald J. Trump's Karma
Despite his teeny, tiny, hands, Donald Trump's are covered in blood.
I cannot believe this person is in power. He's not a loose cannon, he's a mis-launched nuclear warhead.
I certainly hope our generals have a procedure for taking him down when he decides, as King of the World, to blow something up.
This man is a menace to all societies, to all humankind.
The kindest thing would be to have him committed to a psychiatric hospital, and family members could easily do this.
Please, Melania, make your worthless turn as First Lady count for something. Be best and commit this very dangerous person.

Oh Donny Boy ---- The Jig is Up
Donald Trump needs to understand that his legacy, his presidency, his tomfoolery and his buffoonery is at an end.
This is the trouble with narcissists. They never get how over they are for years and years after their demises. The delusional world they live in never intrudes on reality, and reality never intrudes on their delusion.
I guess I'll be happy to see the FBI drag him out of the White House in handcuffs. But he'll even spin that and make himself a martyr. These are the things Donald J. Trump can be counted on. His complete mockery of the presidential seal. His complete disdain and intolerance for the branches of government that would keep him in check. His cozy relations with dictators and despots. His utter betrayal and treason of the United States of America. And his very fat a$$ along with his worse than ugly, piss-colored hair.
Donald's head has been in the toilet, at full flush, for awhile now. Put the man at rest in his 5th Avenue apartment for a few months. Then, just when he's got comfortable with the disgusting pile of Shit he turned America into and got away with, just when he thinks he can get a book deal and make millions, just when his King Feces touch can find nothing else to ruin,
lock his stupid a$$ in a prison cell.

Moving Past Incompetence into Utter Insanity
Trump just handed Syria to the Russians.
Just how far up Trump's a$$ does Putin's hand need to be before the clueless republican base that elected this f*cking moron gets the fact that Donald J. (for Jack-off) Trump is incompetent, inconsistent and insane.
For F*ck's sake, even Hitler's generals (blood thisty as they were) knew when the f*cking jig was up.
