tweety birdSo, wiretapping doesn’t mean wiretapping. It means, well, whatever D.T. might have meant if he’d put down the phone, stopped tweeting (D.T.-tweety bird) and thought.  Accusing a fellow president of spying on you is just another thing, something done for the hell of  it, with no evidence other than a right wing nutjobs rants? God, how long do we have to put up with this guy?

He has allies like Congressman Steve King from Iowa’s 4th district, which includes Kate’s hometown of Nevada:

““We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies”

While many politicians, including Mr. Trump, often try to back away from statements that offend, Mr. King amiably doubles down. On Monday, confronted about his tweet, he told CNN, “I meant exactly what I said,” adding that he would “like to see an America that’s just so homogeneous that we look a lot the same, from that.”

Mr. King, 67, represents the most conservative corner of Iowa…”  NYT, March 14, 2017

crueltyWe’ve gone pretty far down the rabbit hole, my fellow Americans. D.T. has made it safe for racist ideologues, smash and grab xenophobic thugs and robber barons. He’s leading the charge for a recision of the very modest health care program instituted by Obama. The current plan would leave up to 24 million, that’s 24 MILLION, souls without health care. This is not politics, this is warfare against the most vulnerable in our society.

Minnesota’s Hubert Humphrey had this to say:

“It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.” Hubert H. Humphrey

D.T. and his band of deplorable Congressfolk fail this test. An F. Cruelty is not only a bomb dropped from the sky; it’s a conscious decision to deprive fellow human beings of what they need to live and to thrive.
