The call has been made over and over to drain the swamp. The swamp is the least of our worries, the overflowing cesspool is a far greater threat. All of the name calling, all of the blame laying, all of the whining about how unfair he has been treated is just so much crap.

  The supporting characters in our Congress need to be removed and ushered into the world where human values come first, not greed, not self importance, not self pity, and certainly not a belief that because you wear a certain hat, or kiss a certain ass you are somehow about the law or the Constitution of the United States. If it means a trip to a cell for an extended period of time, the loss of everything they had thought they were going to receive with the golden parachute, or some fate that we would prefer not to predict, then so be it, but get them out of positions of any influence. From the crap that runs out of the mouths of these people I hope they are not raising children.

  Each and everyone of these people ran on some sort of platform to get elected, unless of course the district they came from paid no attention and just filled in the blank. If that platform does not conform to the nonsense they are preaching then they need to be reminded of it and not in a subtle way.

  As for our National Press Corps, where the hell are the reporters that actually report news? Did all the real news reporters die or are they just hiding?

  News of the day is that a Federal Judge was attacked outside her home this morning by individuals that are loyal to Trump.  We must be living in some sort of place where lawlessness is the name of the game. The record number of places that now have open carry laws for weapons, the number of deaths that can be connected to weapons, the amount of hate speech and disregard for others that is common, makes it easy to believe that every negative emotion of every hate monger in the country has been released as the result of the election of Donald J. Trump.

  We have always had our fair share of bigots, they just have had to keep a civil tongue in their mouth and a lid on their hate. Since 2016 they have had a spokesperson at the highest level of government that has encouraged, capitalized on and exalted negativity for all things civil and decent. Praise has been showered on depots around the world, our normal allies have been shut out or pushed aside for the sake of looking great to people like Putin and the like.

  The tactics of the Mafia or similar organizations should not be tolerated. If they want to play with fire then burn them. Were they just supposed to scare the judge, harm her or worse? Whatever their mission was, let them enjoy the fruits of their efforts. Maybe the next ones that show up will be wanting to take her to have coffee at Starbucks.
