Awful Lawful?

Submitted by ub on

We can't see the forest for the trees is an expression used when details of a problem are overlooked. The Republican-controlled Congress has been too involved in the wording of bills that they couldn't see the forest for the trees.

By focusing on what is officially defined as illegal or criminal, while a more serious threat to democracy is left out. This threat is caused by predatory practices considered to be skirting the letter of the law, but have multiple adverse social consequences.

Where Is That Love?

Submitted by ub on

Following an abrupt end to his love summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, POTUS suddenly thinks its time to walk away from his self proclaimed romance.

#USA deterrence of North Korea is now in a Trump imposed downward spiral. The economic sanctions are beginning to fray. Japan may be losing confidence. South Korea’s Moon sees America as headed to the door. Kim keeps producing missiles with more nukes. Meanwhile, an annual Foal Eagle and Key Resolve USA-South Korean military exercises are not happening. What the hell is the Republican-controlled US Senate doing about it?

UNITY Seriously?

Submitted by ub on

POTUS is expected to call for unity in his attempt at reset after two years of partisanship deep divide and personal attacks. #SOTU will come with a large serving of partisan divide which could lead to another government shutdown or to an emergency declaration over the #Mexico border, but what about the #Canada northern border? Politically wounded from his federal shutdown, #Trump may face an uphill battle with his agenda.

Will Americans, or the rest of the world buy this White House attempt at turning a new leaf? We’ll have to wait and see, Mr. T.

Fantasy vs Facts

Submitted by ub on

President Trump doesn't have the best record on telling the truth, and dismissing our intelligence community endangers all of US.

CSPAN: "Did you talk to your intelligence chiefs today about the displeasure you had with their…"

POTUS: "I did. They said that they were totally misquoted, and they were totally – it was taken out of context…The said it was fake news."

Journalism Now More Than Ever

Submitted by ub on

We The People may no longer be able to count on equal justice for all. Congress is not doing its job, and our system of checks and balances is slowly disappearing, so the news media must help sort out this mess.

Journalists give comfort to those afflicted by Fatcats who hide from the truth and it is up to the free press to expose any abuse.

POTUS Shutdown or Lockout?

Submitted by ub on

#Russia, if you're listening, please instruct the 3 #Republican #Turncoats - #Donald #Mitch #Lindsey to immediately open the federal government. I think you will be rewarded mightily.
