I’m just here to say the current state of affairs in our country is not normal.
I will never accept it as normal.
A long term enemy of this country interfered in our election process
and continues to influence those sitting in the seats of power.
The people at the center of this travesty get together at world summits
and laugh about it -
making no effort to hide their actions.
And why should they?
There are NO consequences for them.

Immigration officers raid hospital rooms and schools,
tearing children away from their parents,
inflicting trauma that will reverberate for a lifetime.
We put children in cages,
depriving them of basic human care -
for a profit.

LGBTQ rights are eroding.
Environmental protections are vanishing;
the earth is being looted,
ecosystems destroyed and polluted,
possibly beyond repair.

Puerto Rico is still in shambles –
a year after being slammed by a massive hurricane –
and we turn a blind eye,
moving on to the next newly created crisis.

People in our country, the richest country in the world,
are still without potable, clean water in their own homes.(ex Flint, MI).

Hate crimes are on the rise - in all areas of the country.
Gun sales and murder rates continue to escalate with no response from elected officials;
officials who have been bought and paid for by the gun lobby;
officials who value campaign contributions over the lives of their constituents.

Medical care for thousands has been compromised by sabotaging the Affordable Care Act
and bankruptcies due to medical expenses are once again on the rise after years of decline.

‘Christians’ distort basic tenants of the very Gospel they profess to live by –
refusing to show hospitality to strangers,
refusing to feed the hungry,
refusing to give shelter to the homeless,
refusing to LOVE THY NEIGHBOR.
‘Christians’ embrace a pathological liar,
a serial breaker of marital vows,
a corrupt businessman who lies, swindles and cheats as easily as he breathes.

Feigned outrage over some off color remarks from a comedian
while wholeheartedly embracing that same quality in a leader
“who tells it like it is” is the very nature of incongruence.
Sorry, friends,
when you accepted a man who spews hate
and proudly displays his ignorance,
you forfeit the moral high ground.

Facts are no longer ‘facts’;
they are inconveniences to be twisted, distorted and debated.

Science is suspect.
The rule of law is for all us in flyover country,

Taking an oath
“to solemnly preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”
was just another vow he had no intention of keeping.

A revolving door where “the best people” enter
and soulless hacks with ruined careers are spit back out months later,
having failed the loyalty test created in the bottomless ego pit
of a narcissistic man-child.

Everything is contextual, malleable and ever changing.
It’s all smoke and mirrors,
“nothing to see here” and “look at the shiny new thing”.
“nothing to see here” and “look at the shiny new thing”.
It’s all beyond comprehension.
It defies all logic.
while this has become our new ‘norm’,
it is not normal –
nor should it ever be.
