Donald Trump at the zoo

There are times you may remember visiting a zoo, and you may have seen people stare in fascinated horror as they watch the poop-throwing antics of a rogue monkey. Displaying bizarre and inappropriate behavior is one reason that people are so fascinated. It’s hard to look away.

Now, about Donald Trump. Why would anyone be shocked…shocked! by The Donald’s poop-throwing behavior? It’s what he does, that’s just his way. So are we going to go through 8 or 9 months of this?

Because there’s a national security crisis with Chinese hackers, ISIS threats, gun control debates, the Iran Deal, income inequality, major problems with racial inequality and immigration reform, plus the small matter of electing a new leader of the Free World. To that question, here’s a hint: It ain’t Donald Trump.

He’s not even close to being a viable candidate, but he will be a major spoiler if the National Media keep staring in fascination and horror as the monkey throws poop at the bars.

Are we even asking the right questions?

What is this about really? Are we somehow conflating this withdrawal with the idea of America as a superpower? Is it about American Exceptionalism and the idea that we have lost our innocence? Is this something that we will use to justify what we are doing in the world; where we are going, and what we want to be known for in the world? Just asking what we want to stand would be a good start in terms of questions going forward. This may be a conversation that needs to be had in the coming years. All of the talk, and the hopes and aspirations were discussed and mapped out before being put into the small 21st Century online political group that was created in 2017. The thoughts & ideas came from a hopeful take on the dark reflections seen in the election of Trump in 2016. Are we a country and a people that are even capable of building a better tomorrow? We need to be able to have this serious talk with Allies and others of good will; T...

What hath We Wrought?

If someone waking from a deep freeze just saw that tape where Trump was bragging off the record about the way he treated women, grabbing them by the crotch because they "let you do it", it would seem that so many red flags are raised that they would immediately conclude it as disqualifying for any candidate for higher office. It goes without saying that women are not objects, or something lesser to be grabbed and treated as toys or groped simply because someone believes themselves immune from the rules of polite society, an ethical code of conduct or common human decency. It was obvious that Trump couldn't handle even the small amount of power that is bestowed on a Hollywood TV Reality star. Why would anyone think that this person could handle the immense power and pressure that the highest office in the land entails? That does say something about the voters. Voters didn't vote simply for change, they voted for the strong man who didn't just fall to the top...
