The big concern is the buffoon currently in charge of our government's Executive Branch. Days ago, he seemed nonchalant regarding Syria's leader remaining in charge there. Then, a couple days ago, deadly sarin gas was used on citizens, killing many dozens. The photo of one young Syrian man, holding his dead 9-month-old twins was heartbreaking. He also lost his mother and father, a brother, and other close relatives. I think it was 16 in all. Life cannot continue for him after burying so many. He will be a living ghost of a person, if he chooses to continue on.
I don't even want to say our president's name. Even typing the numbers 45, as many have taken to doing, makes me nauseated. This person, who reviled Obama for not retaliating a couple years ago after Al-Assad crossed the 'red line in the sand', has now warned that action would result in World War III, and so he cautions taking any action against the Syrians. Which is it?
So, now, it's big bully time as you launch nearly 60 Cruise missiles to retaliate for the gassing of Syrian citizens in their own country? Did you consult Congress?
You chastised Obama for not doing so.
Did you even speak to your intelligence experts?
Oh, but you "know more than the generals", don't you.
Okay. So now the USA bombs another country without official approval, AND because of humanitarian reasons? I hope the UN gets behind us soon or we will be twisting in the breeze alone.
I'm just sick....
The blowback could escalate, if not from Syria, then from Russia, or from the other worry we have on our hands: North Korea. The Chinese can pretty much keep the North Koreans at bay, but the Chinese president Xi Jingping was just here at the Mar-a-Lago golf resort, even though he hates golf. (I wonder which protocol advisor recommended that tactic.)
If China turns against us because 45 disagrees or disrespects them, they won't want to try so hard to keep North Korea under their thumb. We are probably looking at another war with somebody, and probably sooner than we realize.
If he's not impeached before his four years are up, then this thoughtless, egotistical narcissist might even have to reinstate the draft which could mean my 15-year-old grandson might have to register. That thought just pushes me farther toward the edge of the abyss.
Yes, I'm heartsick and feeling broken, lost, depressed. I've voted in thirteen presidential elections and certainly have been disappointed more than once; but never, ever have I felt the weight of the darkness that has enveloped us since this past election.
I'm hoping this worry is all for naught. I keep looking for something good about this administration; but it gets only murkier and murkier in that swamp....
End of venting.
For now.
Thanks.
