TABLE HOPPING
He alone is putting out our already very dim beacon. He is a tragic result of the real difficulty: For all the decades of our decline the answer has been the elimination of the systemic bribery that has decimated the quality of life for our people. A bribery that sent us spiraling to the third world and a bribery that was a spear through the heart of the American way and our destiny.
Word on the Street by BILL MCCLELLAN
The Price of Not Voting Prelude: I believe the majority of us see things better than most. But too many do not vote. This writing would not exist if we did. Vote. Please vote and pass the word. You can hate Trump but you can’t hate those that like him. We are not divided because one sides likes Trump and one side doesn’t. We are divided because of the un-American intolerance on both sides that is fomenting a society so injured that even family flare ups at the dinner have become common. If loving and respecting all of your fellow Americans does not return and Trump stirs the susceptible, chaos in the streets may not be far away. Trump has infected our land with massive un-American divisiveness and immorality. I have no use for this awful President. Yet I respect and retain the friendship and high regard for those that disagree. Our land was so far gone before his era, it is no stretch at all to understand and share the rebellious feelings of those that support him. I strongly do not agree that he is in any way an answer. Nor do I believe an answer exists in our system until bribery is removed and equality returns to Governing. There is nothing special about any of Trump’s achievements. What is felt on the right as success, would have happened under any Republican. His presence offends our constitution, our American values and our patriotism. He is damaging the quality of our children’s thinking. He is damaging the American heart and all of its inclusive and equal beauty.

What I find enormously tragic is that this President is clearly not inclusive. He has no use for any individual that disagrees and he has no use for the over half of the country that disagrees. Like it or not the facts are clear, other than white, is not equal in his deeds and thinking. And only whites that agree with him are equal. Just nothing —virtually nothing— American lives in this man’s heart. It is all about him and he will destroy anyone that disagrees. He is not aware that our origin and our greatness came from accepting disagreement, and with respect, finding a way. My main opposition to him is based on something completely different, which is, he is temperamentally unfit to be president. He is erratic, cruel, and unprincipled. He supports racists. He is unstable, and he has severe personality disorders. He is obsessive and narcissistic far beyond the normal mind. He is absent the wisdom, temperament and judgment which should be requisite demands of one with authority over the welfare of 320 million people and one with the authority that can cause the annihilation of humanity with the push of button. His disordered personality, his disturbing patterns of thinking, functioning, and behaving are defining characteristics of his presidency. His instability manifests itself in many ways: extreme narcissism; his addiction to lying about things large and small, including his finances and bullying and silencing those who could expose them; his detachment from reality, including denying things he said even when there is video evidence to the contrary; his affinity for conspiracy theories; his demand for total loyalty from others while showing none to others. I became sick to my stomach after watching the cabinet meeting where he demanded obsequious comment favoring him. It looked like Pyongyang. I could feel the grumbling disturbance of the souls of our hallowed dead. Disturbing people breed disturbing people. Trump has not only awakened and given credence to the very worst among us, he has placed the very worst kind of humanity (smart and marred with the same character flaws as himself) throughout government.
