Proof

A pretty Little foxglove up by Cape Horn

What I find most entertaining in the current kerfuffle over Little Donny is the way that both sides of the derangement bandy about the word "proof".  I have seen precious little of this reagent since the whole process started.

I think that we are in the middle of a partisan cage fight where two political wings of the general population are trying, by any means available, to smear the other.  The hatred between the two wings of the general populace is extraordinary.  I am seriously considering looking into the TradeMark status for 'My Emotional Wounds Are Bigger Than Your Emotional Wounds Victims’ Society" so that both extremist sectors can join and maybe find some common ground.

Everything that is being bandied around as truth is being purveyed by talking heads who have history of an astonishing error rate and no solid history of telling the truth.  Brenan??  Really??  Comey??? Really??  Trump??Really??  Hillary???  Really???  Pence???  Really??  Sessions???  Really??  Pelosi??? Really.......well, you get the point.  The powers have muddied the waters so thoroughly that it now impossible to govern.  Even if Little Donny were capable of such a thing, we have exited the possibility of ever finding out.  So who knows what will happen.

What passes for truth in America today and what is passed off as truth is merely personal opinion and taste.  You choose the news you like and the hell with the rest.  They agree with me and my kind of people, so they are the good guys.

Everyone, take a breath.  Nothing has changed.  We are still sliding downward.  We have been sliding downward since 1980.

Maybe, rather that thinking and ranting about an inconsequential person in the White House who you hope or fear is going to save us or doom us (but really is not going to do either), maybe you should put on your big person pants and go out and save yourself.  If you don't want to to do that, maybe, just maybe, you ought to read something that disagrees with your beliefs and fears and maybe consider the possibility that it might not be wrong.
