How many times did you hear people say they voted for Trump
because they believed he would “shake things up?” Well, those people got their wish! Or, perhaps you got your wish. Our country and our government are certainly
all shook up, almost to the extent it is not recognizable. If you listened to the news even once last
week, you know this is true.
OTHERS HAVE said
they wanted Trump to “drain the swamp.” What
those people failed to understand, some things in a swamp is essential for
balance. Plus, I don’t think they meant
for him to drain the good, leave the bad, or replace the good with the bad.
OTHERS BELIEVED
him when he said, “I will hire only the best people.” As of today, thirty-five
people have either been fired or forced out from the White House and Cabinet
level positions. We have no way of knowing how many lower tier employees have
been forced out. From relationships with
Russia,spending abuses, spousal abuse, the reasons for the
employees leaving are myriad. Throw in
the fact that his Campaign Manager and his “fixer” attorney are going to
prison, you get the picture that Trump has no idea how to choose the “best people.”
You can’t be that wrong about that many
people.
EITHER TRUMP
cannot judge character, or, he likes only the people he feels share his own
shady characteristics. He must be attracted to them by some kind of pheromone.
That’s why when he spent last week saying, “I know Brett Kavanaugh. He’s a good man. The best.
Straight out of central casting,” Further, Trump said, “He has
vehemently denied doing this,” I had to chuckle. Obviously, Trump thinks if you deny, that’s
all it takes. Of course, he does. You
don’t know a person from just two job interviews. You’re lucky to even know a person after
years of marriage. You think you know
your children but you never really know all the things they do.
THE WORST thing
about Trump’s adamant defense of Kavanaugh, I know in my heart of hearts that
even if Kavanaugh did try to rape Dr. Ford, that would be acceptable to Trump. The only thing that would make Trump admire
him more would be if he had succeeded.
Trump has made his position clear that he does not like losers, only
winners. I will also add that if this
happened the way Dr. Ford said it did, the only reason the rape was not
successful was because of what she was wearing—a one-piece bathing suit under
her clothes. Ladies, you know you
squeeze into those suits and you almost have to cut yourself out of them. If I had a teenage girl today, I would
require that as mandatory attire.
ON THURSDAY (?)
we’re scheduled to meet and hear from Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford. It’s like reading a book when you already
know the ending. Not a single Republican
has met Dr. Ford, or heard her story.
Yet, Mitch McConnell says he has the votes to confirm Kavanaugh and
assures us that no matter what happens, Brett Kavanaugh will be on the United
States Supreme Court, where he will make decisions that shape our country for
fifty years. In my humble opinion, this
is one situation where if there is a doubt over whom to believe, then Brett
Kavanaugh must not be confirmed.
HAVING SAID all
that, late Sunday a classmate from Yale has emerged with a new allegation
against Kavanaugh. Deborah Ramirez
contacted Republicans on the Judiciary Committee last week and shared the
sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh when he was freshman. That’s interesting since
Chairman Grassley and others had this information last week, yet they were
insisting on fast-tracking the hearing so they could hold the vote on
Kavanaugh. Information has also been
revealed that a third woman has come forward.
WE’RE IN for a
wild ride with this confirmation. It’s evolving by the hour. Whatever the outcome, it will further divide
our country. As one who loves old
sayings, I have one for you for this occasion.
Once is a mistake. Twice is
pattern. Three times is a habit.
