Today's MOZEN: Same Ol' Same Ol'

F LoBuono

Perhaps, you've noticed; I haven't posted many overtly political memes lately. It certainly is NOT the result of a less politically charged atmosphere in this Country. Oh, it's quite the contrary. Our President and his minions provide an ample amount of controversial, if not downright vitriolic, rhetoric with which to feast on. In fact, that just might be the reason I've been reluctant to write more in that vein:

It's all been said before.

This President continues his assault on our collective psyches, fundamentally altering the definition of what it actually means to be an American. He continues his attacks on a Free Press. He still spreads fear and loathing through misinformation about immigration and immigrants. It is almost universally acknowledged that he prefers to lead through chaos and intimidation rather than organization and compromise. His America First policy serves ultimately to isolate us internationally, evidenced by the boos that punctuated his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland recently. And, he refuses to accept the legitimacy of Special Council Robert Mueller's independent investigation on Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election.

And, this doesn't even included the looming personal fiascoes like his alleged payments to a porn actress to keep an extra-marital sexual affair secret secret.

And, still, his base remains unshaken. Some of them are the top evangelical preachers in the Country. They include Franklin Graham, son of legend Billy Graham, and Tony Perkins, who used a golf term, mulligan, or do-over, as an excuse for Mr. Trump's alleged marital infidelity.

Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

But, as I have also said repeatedly - this is part of a plan that was hatched from the very beginning - that Mr. Trump would give voice to the forgotten Americans. The problem is that the rest of us forgot how bigoted the souls of so many of these people really are. They just needed the vehicle to get them to their ultimate destination.

And, now they do.

You get what you pay for . . .
