OMG

Maybe it is something we can use. The utility and timing both seem appropriate and the result could be a win/win for everybody. Something I can definitely get behind. And push. The concept is this: As I struggle with the enormity of the resistance, the fatigue associated with fighting a non-stop, around the clock, 24/7 battle against the current evil administration and the felonious, unethical, immoral and illegal acts of oppression they install, all the while fully understanding the need for an equal and opposite energy tack, from this point onward (as we attempt to reclaim our very souls) when I isolate a crime, I will suggest some opposite, an ethical yin to the corrupt Trumpian yang. Ebony and irony. Heads to tails. Shall we try one on for size?

Just yesterday it was announced that three more items of chaos had entered the main stage of the White House's Theatre of the Absurd. Like failed slapstick comedians in a dramatic role, the hooker is suing the POTUS, the spokesperson broke the law and the head bean-counter quit. I know, I know, it is kinda comical, so go ahead and laugh. Until you realize that this is our leadership. These are the people tasked with defending our lives and liberties, of upholding the constitution and leading us by example to that higher ground of advanced civilization. Yet in one day they demonstrate their dearth of family values, disregard for the law and the pathetic level of corruption previously thought unobtainable. Worse is the continual complicity of the republican house and senate, and worse still, are those 40% of Americans still thinking that this is somehow OK.

Acronyms call this an OMG. And you wonder why beer, wine and liquor sales are off the charts, to mention nothing of recreational weed. Opioids anyone?

But I promised you a flip side. Some positive alternative we can sink our collective bicuspids into, a fair and balanced energy necessary to redirect the out of control flow of bigotry, discrimination, pollution, corruption and brutality so much in vogue with these spineless conservative republicans. I am talking to you Mitch and Paul. To you too Miller and Hannity.

For every high-priced Vegas call girl there is a girl scout selling cookies to support community programs. We are seeing an impressive outpouring of kids intent on changing the ridiculous American gun laws as a result of yet another AR15 rampage. I don't need to remind you that their demonstrations come as a direct result of the NRA ownership of the house and senate who consider the lives of high-school kids merely collateral damage.

An official spokesperson broke the Hatch Act by urging their base to vote for a pedophile in the Alabama gubernatorial election, this, of course on TV. When informed of this violation the WH responded with little more than a smirk. They (he) considers themselves (himself) above the law. The good side: Mueller is getting closer. With every tic of the clock.

The National Economic Council Director resigned over another off the cuff remark made by the POS. The tariff tirade. How bad is it when a Wall Street while-collar criminal working only for the benefit of the 1%, at the expense of the 99%, quits because he wasn't consulted prior to the launch of a loony trade war? Good news here is that the West Virginia teachers settled their week old strike accepting a 5% raise.

5%?

OMG.
