I'm not going to even discuss the SOTU address. I didn't watch it, and from all the scuttle butt on the television today, I know that I made the right decision.
Right now, it feels as if the people who have the power to make a difference aren't doing so. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/government-lawyers-ethics-help-trump-crackdown-bar-associations-rcna190460
Can you imagine he's ordering lawyers to follow orders even if it goes against their ethics?
And people aren't screaming about this?
He's giving himself the right to bend the law to suit his purposes.
He's making sure that he can face no consequences for what he does.
I feel as if when I say things like this out loud, I'm seen as some sort of radical.
In the end, we can only do what we can do.
We can do this:
Kay has a call for action: The Ides of Trump

We can do this:

The Amazon Boycott starts March 7th.
We can write or call our representatives in DC.
John Fetterman is, unfortunately a waste of time, stating on the New Yorker Radio Hour, that Trump's administration is "dumping three feet of raw sewage on America and we have a dixie cup to bail it out." Then he goes on to say we have to work with tRUMP.
(Like tRUMP is working with Putin?)
He was entrusted to go to Washington and to stand up against the status quo, uphold the constitution, represent his people. He's not doing that, but he gets an e-mail from me anyway pointing out his responsibilities, and closing with a note than when this is done, the voices that will be remembered for all of history are the ones that spoke out against what is happening.
Anyways.
Just do what you can do, and when you have done that:
The passivity of the American people is shocking. Could it be that they've never confronted a president like this, so don't know how to react? IDK. I didn't watch his blabbing yesterday, but my sister did. She said it was awful, full of lies.
ReplyDeleteI was so frustrated by the Democrats' response to his speech. Talk about milquetoast. A few of them have backbone but too few by far.
ReplyDeleteAnd the guy up for deputy FBI Director? Total wacko, thinks Democrats are evil, pure evil. Also believes in demons and such. Sure to be confirmed i bet. I wonder when we decide it's time to pack up and go, before they come for us? It's getting just that scary.
I know the idiots in my state (Ohio) are useless. I contributed to Fetterman. I prayed for him when he suffered the stroke. And what a *** he has turned out to be. Disappointing.
ReplyDeleteIt is all.just unbelievable..and like watching a car crash in slow motion
ReplyDeleteFetterman is a total waste of skin. He has been such a disappointment. I didn't watch, either. I had the live stream up on my laptop, and just decided nope. I don't remember Scholastic books. I do remember Golden Books. My Mom worked there for awhile, I had many books.
ReplyDeleteI'll send a postcard and I am already not buying anything from Amazon.
ReplyDeleteRome wasn't built in a day. Just make your resistance your priority.
ReplyDeleteKay of Musings: 98% of my friends and relatives are seeing what’s going down the tubes and don’t even want to look at the news because each day finds more disgusting things that are being done by Trump and his henchmen. But we’ll all send out those postcards and can only hope it shows our disgust anyway.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the fight, steady but sure.
