I started listening to overseas news services, wanting to get away from “all Trump all the time,” but alas, overseas, too, all they talk about is Trump.
But at least they have perspective. Most countries have had bouts with nationalists and populists. All of them were ugly. Many of them required intervention by other countries to divest them of their nationalists and populists.
Germany, I’m looking at you.
But now, Germany is looking at us.
They honestly don’t know what to feel: Pity or outrage.
The leader of the free world no longer seems interested in leading – or in freedom.
Our Congress now acts a lot like the old Supreme Soviet, a rubber stamp for whatever comes out of the Kremlin on Pennsylvania Avenue. Nancy and Chuck are powerless to stop the tanks that Trump regularly rolls over Congress these days.
I know there are many I could name who are ready to pounce on these comments, calling me a “hater” or a “hater of America,” or worse.
I don’t hate anyone.
All I want to do is cry.
Cry for the country that I spent 22 years in the military to defend, and another 14 years in TSA, trying to keep travelers safe.
I’ve worked for the government most of my adult life. Good people, all of them. But tagged by the Reaganites on forward as the “real” problem of this country.
But I never believed that government could be the real problem in this country.
Don’t know what to say.
Trump has corrupted the entire world.
