Well this stupid azzhole can go stand in the muddy field by himself while the rest of the world continues on. This sudden adherence to "Conservatism" and "The Constitution" by these dead enders amuses me because this lot of buffoons were front and center seal clapping what a swell guy Bush was and how classy he was when he was President, but now since the vulgarian Trump is in charge it is a disaster. It doesn't matter to any of these frauds that Trump is operating closer to Coolidge and Reagan than any other President the last 2 centuries.
Thank you for illustrating the futility in "joining to change things". Those of us who didn't approve of some of the things Bush went for had little choice, Right?
Now that I have seen that error, in that we had no chance of changing the corrupt mechanisms of self serving government from inside, no matter which side of the aisle is involved, and that calls for a return to the Constitution were largely ignored or regarded with contempt by supposed allies in the GOP while they paid lip support for our earnest presence during their campaigns and at the polls, I'll no longer will contribute to the numbers trampling the meadows of America into mud.
It doesn't matter which foot you lead with (left or right), the result is the same, only the clash of those marching clockwise with those marching counter clockwise is conflict, for the edification and delight of the masses, and to fill interminable hours of newsbabble.
As for "moving on", well that is a fine illusion, but the same basic issues of my youth are still pertinentm over 50 years later.
We haven't 'moved on' as a nation, we've been going in circles.
When the Kabuke is done, on the Hill, they all go to much the same cocktail parties after the cameras shut down and discuss ways to milk the suckers (voters) while giving the appearance of having 'done something', and find new ways to enrich themselves and their most earnest patrons. Face it, almost no one could afford to run for those jobs if they had to pay for it out of their own salary for the job they are running for. That would make as much sense as racking up a 100 grand in student loan debts for a minimum wage job.
(No wonder Hollywood types think they should carry so much political weight, they are (arguably) better actors, and their production and cinematography are slicker, and their declared paychecks tend to be better.)
As for me, I'll sit here on my (not so) lonely spot, and watch the circle jerk continue. I am far from alone. I have been joined by a growing multitude of others who believe that our Constitution exists as something more than a flag to wave to try to bring more suckers to kick in more money or a banner to hide nefarious bullshit behind. We realize a simple return to principle could solve many issues that have been at the forefront in the past half century (I don't count those tender years when I wasn't paying much attention to politics, before junior high school).
Funny how many more are awakening to that fact, that neither Party serves either the People nor the Constitution, but only themselves while they pay lip service to both.
While Trump has done some good things, they are as fragile as the next counterstroke of a pen. Without Congress at least passing legislation which will make those changes more difficult to reverse, they are fragile, and as subject to removal as the Obama doctrine they reversed.
