Dear Trump Voters

Happy now? 

We certainly got something new and different.

For those who voted for Trump because:  
We have do to something different; (We didn’t.)    
We need someone who isn’t a political elite; (We got a financial elite.)    
We need someone with business acumen. (We got the bankruptcy king.)    

Here is a comparison: 
Let’s hire the CEO of Frito-Lay to be principle of our high school!
Let him choose people for the department heads:
English Dept:  CEO of bank!
Math Dept: CEO of restaurant chain!
Social Studies Dept: CEO of landscaping/nursery business!
Art Dept: Hmmmm… CEO of local hospital!
….

Wow! Look at all that business savvy we now have!

But... Oh, dear... They are in charge of something that they know nothing about. 

Isn't that refreshing? New perspectives! A business approach!

Now, let them start firing people and eliminating budgets! Let’s improve the English department by firing half the teachers! Yeah!

Let’s improve the math department by… firing 30% of the teachers and cutting the budget!

Art? We don't need no art! Eliminate the art department.

Etc. Ad nauseum.


But, let’s double the security force! And, double the security budget! Hire a private security firm! 

Put up a wall around our schools! Have ICE officials at the doors! 

Who knew that health care is complicated? Every single thinking person in the USA. And, every single person who doesn't or hasn't had health care.

Who knew that there is a history of effort and diplomacy with North Korea?  Career State Department Officials. And, any informed American. And, everyone over the age of 50.

Who knows all about the Middle East? What has succeeded and what has failed? Not me. Not Trump. Not the new Secretary of State.

Well, I am going to apply for a job teaching physics and nano-technology at MIT! Hope I get the job!

Love, love, love is all there is,

Dear Hypocrites

Don't worry! Some of my best friends are hypocrites. Is it the human condition or a passing fad?

The word of the day: HYPOCRITE
noun
1.
a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
2.
a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.


Republicans, remember how enraged you were when President Obama issued an executive order? Hypocrisy much?

Oh, remember what a slacker President Obama was – He played golf sometimes. I’m listening for the outrage about #45’s weekend trips to Mar-a-lago.

You didn’t like Mrs. Obama revealing her arms? But, Mrs. T can reveal it all? Oh! She’s a Republican?!? Maybe. Maybe not.

Lordy, remember the fake stories about how much money President Obama’s trips cost? Where are the (real) stories about how much money #45 and his spawn are spending on travel?

You judged President Obama not a Christian but President T can talk openly about grabbing women by the pu$$y and that is OK? Because he began to claim to be a Christian in order to run for president? Because it is OK for Christian men to grab women by the pu$$y? Because he is a Republican? All of the above?


Remember way way way back when Republicans were all outraged by the TV show “Murphy Brown” and living in terror that teen girls were going to follow in her footsteps – by which they meant get pregnant. 

I was hoping that teens would follow in her footsteps and became the best and most daring investigative reporters in the US

I digress. Why aren’t you worried that your teen sons are going to follow in Mr. T’s footsteps and just start kissing every beautiful woman they see and grabbing them by the pu$$y? Hypocrisy much?

Honestly, I have a vision of masses of hypocrites wearing the letter "H" on their clothing. It would be so much fun!

Well, someone has to love hypocrites but it doesn't have to be me! You can all love each other!
