November seems so long ago

It's now the middle of March and yet the Presidential election seems like it existed in another era.  So much has taken place in an attempt to "harden" America and reverse what generations worked so diligently to create: a country that is a beacon of light for those throughout the world who not only wished they could live here but perhaps help make their own countries something that might resemble what The United States had achieved.

In a few quick signatures that beacon has been narrowed to shine only on the wealthy upper class citizens.

I always suspected that the Republican Party didn't really give a rat's ass about the disenfranchised and downtrodden but I never fully understood the level of hate involved until the Celebrity Apprentice dude became President of the United States.

I'm fairly certain that if the GOP had their way they would eliminate 90 percent of all social programs....starting with Food Stamps.  Why in God's name would anyone need government assistance with obtaining food when that money could be used to add more soldiers, more warships, more  warplanes and of course more drones.  Don't those poor people know that with more weapons they can feel safe in their dwellings?  So what if their children go to bed hungry?  To argue, and I hear it often from the right side of the aisle, that America is a welfare state, is simply an appeal to the working middle class to reject programs that help the needy.

It's so obvious to me and I'm not a Hitler comparison guy but the last time I saw this type of class hate was in Germany during the 1930's.  Imagine for one second if Adolph simply wanted to get rid of poor people instead of the Jews.  With the decisions that are being made both in the White House and in Congress, that seems to be their plan.  The decisions that are being made that will affect our health and our children's health reside on another tier of concern, of which I will address at another time.  Right now I'm simply focusing on the less fortunate people within our borders.

Donald Trump ( and out of respect for the office of President, I've decided from now on that he will simply be Donald Trump or Biff....no more title, no more honor)  is leading a contingent of elected officials that simply........ 

HATE POOR PEOPLE.

AND THEY ARE ABOUT TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE POOR PEOPLE'S LIFE SO MISERABLE THAT MAYBE THEY WILL JUST GO AWAY.

BUT 
what they are forgetting is that 74 million people who voted didn't vote for the Republican agenda and since January 20 I'm suspecting that his 62.5 million supporters have been reduced by 5 to 10 percent.  Once some of his programs get initiated that number could drop by another 20 percent, at which point the sound in the street won't just be honking cars.

The insane Twitter campaign and  his attack on the media combined with his diversion tactics of creating situations to turn focus away from him,  along with the name calling and totally irresponsible cabinet selections......should result in a 25% approval rating by the end of the summer.

At that point the kettle will start to boil over.  I'm not even considering that the Russian fiasco might reach a boiling point well before that time and in that case we might not have to wait for summer to see the s**t hit the fan.

 I read the other day that President Obama's family vacations in one year cost the taxpayers over 11 million dollars.
Since January 20 Donald Trump has taken 3 trips to his Florida compound and the cost so far.....12 million dollars.

I remember reading about Mitch McConnell's complaints about President  Obama's expensive trips to Hawaii over Christmas.

OH, BY THE WAY......MITCH MC CONNELL MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST FREELY ELECTED ASSHOLE ON THE PLANET.

I think I'll end this piece right now because I've been wanting to say that for a few years.

In fact, it felt so good I'm going to say it again with a bit more authority,  but with slightly narrower focus.

MITCH MC CONNELL IS THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE IN POLITICS.
Donald Trump isn't an asshole...he's just flat out insane.
