(#5894) We are in uncharted waters

      Like an explorer, we Americans are learning of our fate as each second passes us by. Not even the destructors of our continuity have a clue other than to eliminate our present. Unlike them though, most of us do not want our present to disappear. The current cabal has gotten the best of most of us and no one but we are to blame. What is on our side in this are the countries who used to be close allies. They get that Americans as people are still a value but they know that our leadership is corruptible and not worthy of friendship. I have no doubt they, like us, are waiting for a change to occur in our leadership so that we again become what we have always traditionally been.
     We the people have ourselves as a value along with the courts for now. The problem is that going forward we have a relentless leadership that is hell bent on seeking vengeance for nefarious acts they actually committed. A leadership that has nothing but spoiled brat written all over it. A leadership that thinks it is above the law and everyone else beneath it. For the next 20 months we must endure the onslaught of calculated harm that is coming at us before the next midterm election. Somehow we must find a way to wake up every day and maneuver ourselves around the pain and suffering that is real and brutal. I don't know how we will do it but do it we must if we are to stop the current insanity and reclaim our pride and dignity as a thriving democracy!
    My great hope is that an intervening act will occur to change the current dynamic. Yet hope is not an act it is a wish with no one to grant. I know that pain and suffering are catalysts that arise to deeds beyond normal behavior. We cannot have normal when our lives are being turned upside down with no help when the fall eventually hits. When bad people do bad harmful things it is because they have lied, cheated, and stolen when our attention wasn't as focused as it should have been. The solution lies within each of us and needs no justification. The good of the many is where we are and to illustrate that just think of surgery and how a scalpel neatly cuts out that which ails us. When the pain gets too hard to endure is past the time for the remedy whatever form that remedy takes.
