I'M SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED

One can only hope that Jared follows the fine role model of his father and ends up in the pokey.  I would love to see him in a perp walk cuffed up.  Can there be more?  Oh, yup, we can have an embarrassment of a POTUS who retweets racist/hateful videos defaming Muslims.  Even the conservative British PM raked him over the coals for that and Parliament members were even more critical.  But, in the end, i ask myself daily, will it matter and who cares.  It feels as if he is teflon and the sexual predatory comments he made prior to his election do not stick to him the way they have stuck to all the other white guys who have recently been outed.  So, you have to be more of an optimist than me to believe anything will change.  Except of course the mid term elections might help.  Moving on.

--Al Franken gets no more or less slack than any of the other men who have groped or raped or fondled or used power to overwhelm women. He may have done some of that prior to being elected but still...
--Another thing I do daily is think of and pray for Ruth to stay alive.
--Please do not wish for Mike Pence to take over or Tom Cotton to replace Tillerson.  They are both maybe mentally healthier but are right wing ideologues who will be welcomed by the Republicans.  The more I read about those two, the more I think (as I may have said before), be careful what we wish for.
--The perfect bully pairing was the tweet battle between POTUS and Levar Ball.  Both are combustible fools who really are PR hacks who glorify in having their names mentioned in public and in fact are not worth our time.  That twitter universe is a big waste of this new world order.
--And, in news that kid of just slips by, POTUS and his boy at interior (?Zinke) are in the process of reducing the size of some significant new National Monuments which of course were approved by Obama.  And don't even ask me about lower level Federal judicial appointees.
--Roy Moore, the pedophile, is in a twitter bout with Jimmy Kimmel which has been kind of funny.  But, beyond his sexual activities, he is an affront to decent people if only because of how he talks about the GLBT community, the Muslim community, and any person who is "different".  Wonder what he thinks of members of my tribe.  I have no faith in the people of Alabama electing his opponent.  I hope I am wrong.
--A side bar:  Did you know that the country of Bosnia Herzegovina has 3 Presidents who do not get along but exist because they represent three distinct groups of the citizenry?  Check it out.
--The Globe outdid itself with a long prominent article about a vet treating a squirrel and becoming attached to it.  Kind of perverse if you ask me.
--Looks like we will be sending some Haitians back to their island since life just suddenly got better there.  Who cares if they are the poorest country in the hemisphere.  We need them to leave so all the unemployed white folks can get jobs the Haitians took.  Seriously?
--I will leave you with this Native American proverb in light of gutless Republicans like McConnell and Ryan:  "When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, only then will you realize you cannot eat money".
--Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate.
