Booting the Reboot

      I applaud ABC for giving Roseanne the ax yesterday after her thoroughly disgusting  racist rant - (one of many).  Apparently decency is still capable of trumping money (high ratings) and that's heartening.    To think the President's son retweets her vile assaults is dumbfounding - literally.  Her brand of "humor" is poisonous. It's a shame she dragged the entire cast down with her. 

    Of course, the President himself has not said anything on the subject since the firing, but how could he, when he displays the same behaviors himself.   Indeed, his hateful, deceitful, fake news filled speeches and twitter rants are vomiting all over what remains of any decency in our country.  I don't care what party you identify with, and I am branded by none - what he represents is the worst humanity has to offer.  He is not America First. For if he truly was, he would not be fanning the flames of division and bold faced lying to the American people over... and over.. again.  It's as if he's just throwing sh*t everywhere to see what will stick.  Deny till you die is his apparent MO - and even when caught outright in those lies, he just moves on.  If you aren't enraged at the very least that a US President thinks we are so stupid we will eat anything he says regardless of what the actual truth is, I got nothing.  It's mind blowing. 

    There is a reason hate groups are invigorated by Tr*mps speeches. He encourages them. He gives everyone permission to be an assh*le.   He is so ill suited to the office he holds in so many ways - his Memorial Day speech was nothing but shameful self promotion.   And I doubt those who have lost loved ones in wars are thinking it's a Happy Memorial Day, Nice!!.   So out of touch with reality.  As for his tweet regarding Democrats ripping kids out of their families arms, supporting thugs?  *sigh.... Right now, it's you, Tr*mp.  You.  Enough with the lies, enough with the hate speeches.  

     Another truth - not fake news - All parties have their good and bad ideas, policy and intention. By repeatedly attacking each other and furthering the divide, we all lose. WE ALL LOSE.  How are we missing that most important and straight forward message?  In the end, no one wins when we don't work together.  This post isn't about policy - we shouldn't have to give up truths, decency and simple respect to improve on what is and has been ill within  our governance. 

Decency and respect matters.  It Matters.
