Yesterday, I was minding my own business, feeling good
and then my brother called to tell me to turn on the tube.
***, excuse me here, it was another all-time Trump ****
show. I could not believe the words and actions of our
nations non-Presidential President and rabid lap dog VP.
I was shocked and sadly embarrassed by their behavior.
When I wonder will my 74 million mistaken and fellow
Americans wake up and realize that they have voted for
an egotistical sociopath to fill the most powerful office in
the world, who may now blow up that world.

And what else does it take for all those spineless men
and women in the US Congress, Senate and the Courts
who meekly kneel and kiss their leaders ring, to stand
up and speak out, take some actions that rectify their
unfathomable silence and misguided allegiance to a
megalomaniac that would be King and actually already
believes that he is.

I felt a little sick by these latest events. I turned off the
tube after two hours of that **** show, but my blood
was still boiling. Needed to go take some Tylenol and
watch some feel good Nature channel. Cleanse my soul
a little bit with the sight and sounds of Birds, Trees
and Flowers in and around a mountain meadow.
A day later I'm still shocked and sick at heart. I fear
tuning into any breaking news and talking heads.
My blood pressure can only take so much.
