  We are hearing that the 14th Amendment para 3 does not apply to Trump because it has the word support in it and his oath did not contain the phrase SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION. Isn’t that special, that if a specific word is not included it does not apply to ___.  How many court cases are going to be relooked because a contract did not use the same word the lawyer did in the courtroom. Maybe the time has come to make the piper pay instead of getting away with figuring a way out.

  His friends in the former Soviet Union have been looking for a way to take us down since the Second World War. If we are going to play games with the words we use to protect ourselves from the less honorable of our society we are on the way to the cesspool of despair known as communism or some form of government that provides no freedom for the people living under its rule. 

  The privatization of schools and post offices and everything else that has been overseen by governmental departments means less control of everything because there is less government participation. That is good for the people that want less government involvement in things. It allows more free will of management to set wages, limit benefits, hire and fire without possible repercussions. It allows censorship to be a local issue run by a very few both in the schools and the libraries as well as what can be sent in the mail. It also means less taxes for the rich and if you don’t think that is important look at what happens every time a Republican gets into office. 

  Our country chooses its leaders through elections and those leaders must campaign to get elected. If we treat a campaign like a job interview not a beauty contest then we should get some reasonably decent applicants to serve. This is not to say that good looking people are not capable or can not do a good job, just saying do not pick the person based on a photo, read their bio and listen to what they have to say on important subjects.

  How did we get Trump, well no one listened to him on important subjects, he listened to all the whiny butts and then told them what they wanted to hear. He attacked other people running for office and told lies about them. If he heard or read something that was negative on anyone he repeated it, over and over again. Did anyone hear him say how he would deal with a particular problem or issue? Most likely they did not as he had no solutions to anything he was just gas lighting to the crowd and “telling it is like it is”. For the sake of augment he told it the way the most dissatisfied among us viewed it. Why is their view important, because they feel that they are the ones deserving and everyone else, especially anyone of a different color, or different attitude should be kicked to the curb and taught a lesson about who runs things.

  Mr. Trump had no prior experience in politics, yet a good number of people thought he would be a good President, as he proved them wrong. He had a shot at it and did not do well, many others have suffered from the one hit wonder game in politics, so pick up you cards and go home. Why does he feel he should get back in the White House? Is it because his ego can not accept the one tour, is it because he did not steal enough from the treasury? Is it because he had not fulfilled his deal with Putin to sell us down the river? Or was there some other self serving reason for this effort, it is a sure bet that it is not for the good of the United States.
