Just A Thought

 A walk through absurdity.  I like that phrase.  This is where we are at in America political history right now. 

 A good leader’s ambitions should be aligned with serving the best interests of the people for whom they hold a position of leadership.  It is the place where a leader needs to be to truly be a leader of the people.  

 Outliving Donald Trump.  Wow.  That is the one positive thought that I could come up with right now.  There is a future without Donald Trump.  That sounds horrible.  Americans and America will outlive Donald Trump.  I preferred the idea of him being off on some tropical beach somewhere with his political chapter closed and there being a new fresh start with a new commander-in-chief for America. 

 I wonder how Trump‘s maga supporters will actually fare over the next four years with Donald Trump as the president?  I would imagine that it will be the rich who will be the real beneficiaries of another Donald Trump presidency. 

Evidently America is not immune to falling victim to bad leadership.  Regardless of the outcome of election, I will never concede against my opinion that a good leader needs to be a person of good moral character.  Sadly, Mr. Trump is a man who demonstrates the opposite.  A winner of the election has not yet been called, but it has become necessary to process the reality of another Trump presidency.

 If Donald Trump wins this election, I will be very confused and very sad for America.  Then the Republicans and Trump supporters will get the America they wanted and they will have Donald Trump as the role model of the heart of America the American ideal.  Why do people want this???  As of right now, I have idea no idea what I will think if President Harris is not to be.  I can’t even guess.  I guess just still be a person who believes in an America of equality and unity and a future where this is possible. 

 President Biden made an apology to Native Americans for the more than century long practice of forcibly separating their children from their families and people to send them to assimilation boarding schools where they were subject to terrible abuses in order to rob them of their identities and force them to become a part of the white man’s culture.  This apology is more than deserved and overdue.  Native Americans absolutely deserve to have the wrong that was done to them by the US government validated and apologized for.  This should not be a hidden and unacknowledged part of our country’s history. It came to my attention tonight that I have been guilty of not reading about President Biden‘s apology because I was more focused on what has been taking place in regard to the upcoming presidential election which is now taking place today and tonight. I would never want to minimize the importance and reality of this unfortunate chapter of our American history or dishonor the importance of

 Today’s prayer.  Please let this day be not a repeat of 2016.

We adopted Phily (formerly Derek) last June and then at the start of Labor Day weekend, Jilly showed up meowing outside of our back door. They quickly became besties.    

 I voted yesterday. 😄 It seems like it was just 3 months until election day and now we are down to 3 days!  Thank goodness.  

Forget trading cards.  How about a series of Donald Trump plush toys for $9.99?  Something affordable to the average American family.  I wonder which version might be the most popular?  Maybe Trump enthusiasts might want to collect them all.  I think I have talent for being a bit looney.  If anyone were to ask me where my crazy musings come from, my answer would be that I honestly don’t know myself. Ha.  I should have known that crazy stuff would already be available on Amazon. Talking Trump Doll - STUNNING plush Trump doll speaks 20 phrases in his own voice.

  https://l.smartnews.com/p-Q1qaB/UeEWVA Thank you Arnold S.  You rock! 👍  I need to ask my father to look for his picture with Arnold back in his bodybuilder days.  😄 I mean, Arnold‘s bodybuilder days, not my father’s.  My father did lift weights though, and always said that a real man can bench his own weight. 😲 I’d say that’s a bit too extreme of an opinion. LOL  He should not try this now at almost 78 years old.  This leads me to another thought.  Donald Trump is a few months older than my father.  Melania is three years younger than me.  Poor Melania.  Did she really know what she was getting herself into??  😲 I saw some video where she gave her husband a kiss during a public appearance.  She then turned her head away in disgust.  I love that she is completely against women being legally denied the right to have control over their own bodies.  How many women have to die in Texas now for something to change?  I actually was very surprised to hear that Melania completely disagre

 My opinion.  I am all for America being a melting pot that is inclusive of people of all backgrounds and ethnicities.  My idea of an American is a human being who wants to take pride in being a citizen of an American that is accepting and inclusive of human beings of all ethnicities and native origins.  This is what I personally believe that a strong American should be and represent. 

America is a garbage can collecting the garbage people of the world.  I never could have predicted that in my lifetime I would ever hear a former president or presidential candidate call our country a garbage can, but this is where we are at.  So much for the Statue of Liberty and being a beacon of hope for the tired, the poor and the oppressed. 🥲  There really should be no more evidence necessary as to how unfit this man is to be our country’s president once again.  I do feel like an annoying broken record expressing my dismay over and over again, but this is because this man evidently does still stand a chance of becoming our countries, next elected president.  How is this possible? https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/trump-says-the-u-s-is-like-a-garbage-can-for-the-world-222656581816

 Biden to formally apologize for Indian boarding school system https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/biden-apologize-indian-boarding-school-system-rcna147679 This is extremely overdue and so deserved.  What an amazing way for President Biden to finish out his presidency!  This is really a huge thing for the history of America.  It is truly an act of what America should be.

https://youtu.be/j0os0qZ1_O4?feature=shared “Send them back.  Send them back.”  This is what Trump’s supporters began chanting at a rally after he spoke out against  the legal Haitian migrants in Springfield Ohio claiming that they have destroyed the city and they need to be removed.  He was not only okay with his own words but was also okay with the response of the crowd.   Despite his or anyone else’s beliefs about our country’s immigration problems and issues that need to be fixed, this does not make it okay to speak out in a hateful dehumanizing way about other human beings.  If he believes there is a serious immigration problem, he should speak about specific procedures and practices in regard to immigration that he feels need correction and change.  He should not address any issue or problem by personally attacking a group of human beings.  To me this is no better than an ideology, and desire to carry out a policy, of ethnic cleansing.  He is dehumanizing, vilifying and personall

 Evidently I am counting down the days to the most bizarre American presidential election ever.  Everything at this time deviates from everything we have ever known.  It really seems that the whole known structure, predictability, certainty and security of our country and its government is just gone.  Who ever could have predicted in decades gone by that our country’s future would come to all of this.  So much has changed that normal can’t keep up with it.  It is like normal doesn’t exist anymore and our country is completely divided as to what is true and what is false.   It is a time of unprecedented changes in our country and world, and how it will all affect and change our future is unknown.  The outcome of the election won’t by any means be the end to our recent era of craziness and chaos,  but it will at least remove one very large element of uncertainty that looms over us.  Although if my Trump is elected again, a world of uncertainty about our country’s future will continue to

Healed Attitudes.  This is my wish for myself.  If I ever have attitudes about anything that need to be changed or healed, I wish to see the light.

Dear Women,   Please vote for the candidate(s) who supports the belief that there should never be laws that give anyone else the legal right to take a woman’s control over her own body away from her.  If you are a woman, you need for this to never happen or be allowed to continue happening.  Every step in a wrong direction paves the way for a further step in the wrong direction to be taken.  There should never be laws that in any way remove a woman’s right to be in control of her own body.
