Making America great again
Let me analyze this statement. America has always been great. It allows you and me to pray freely. It allows you loopholes not to pay taxes. It allows you to make erroneous claims about the President's place of birth. It allows you to discriminate against anyone who opposes you. It allows you to make your wares that you peddle in other places, but America. Your not paying taxes and taking write-offs for everything means we the taxpayers paid for your wife Melania's 2,645 dollar Roland Mouret dress. A French designer. At least, Michelle Obama promoted the American fashion industry wearing ensembles from J.Crew and the like. If you gave a darn about America at least you could pretend to do so. Don't pretend to want to the American people any favors. Good business and greed aren't mutually exclusive. Good business is one thing, but greed is another.
You are a good showman to have middle class America believing the lie that you will be their champion. You've have opportunities and squandered them. You mock a disabled reporter, call Lester Holt's questions unfair, say that your former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski wasn't a little too close with a woman at the event where he later spoke with the Florida police. You mock a Venezuelan beauty queen for adding a few pounds or calling Rosie O'Donnell a fat pig. You have fooled the American people, but I will not be fooled.
Make America great again? Start leading by example.

Debate
Watching some of last night's debate has me saddened. We have a bully who touts his own arrogance, claims it smart not to pay taxes. He may get elected, because we are a me country. JFK quote about asking not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country has been reversed. We don't give a damn who we hurt as long as we are unhurt. We only have pride in ourselves. Frankly, we laud his boorishness and label him an outsider. An outsider in politics. No, if you believe that I've got a bridge to sell you in Alaska. We love him, because he exhibits all we are. Loud, brash and unrepentant until it bites us in the ass. The silver spoon billionaire does not speak for me. He lashes out at people who call him on his shit. Sound familiar? And if they offend you, call them fat or whatever fits you that day. We are uncompromising SOB's until we need to brownnose. I don't like communism, but it's appeal can be alluring for some. I know I must vote, but this election has me dismayed. Whomever wins, gridlock seems like a given. I wonder what Jesus would tell us because He epitomizes the good of the whole. This election feels like inni, mini, mini, mo. Frankly, the problem, we don't read books anymore. We don't enhance or expand our minds, we fill them will delusions of grandeur. We watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I bet you can name them including significant others, but can you name the first six presidents, or tell me what the Magna Carta is?
