Tall Tales In Washington.

       Ya know, Hillary Clinton is making me wish I hadn't voted for her. Donald Trump is making me wish there had never been an election. It's true Hillary is the worst loser I can recall. She won the most votes but she lost the election. Finished, over, done, give it a break. Donald has done so poorly as president that he should never have been elected a dog catcher.
       I hate to admit it, but there doesn't seem to be anyone who can conduct themselves as though they deserve to be elected to any public office. Take Trump, please. Look at the people he's put in charge of the many cabinet positions. He's driven out more than he's been able to get the fill those positions. And some, like Betsey DeVos and Scott Pruitt are unfit to oversee a square dance.
       If our society manages to exist through the Trump single term, I'll be surprised, but I can tell you that our educational standing in the world will fall and our environment will be richly clouded with the pollution Pruitt seems determined to wrap us in. Never-Never land would be a fit term for America if he is allowed to continue. Never breath and never go into our outdoors.
       Its getting so bad you have to chuckle a little bit, then laugh out loud, then sit and have a good cry. Things weren't perfect under our first black president, but they seemed to be headed in the right direction. Trump is showing us what the wrong direction looks like.
       Lets look at what might have been. What if we had elected a good person to lead us. Someone with a plan other than against the predecessor. What if the Congress saw that plan as the right course at the right time in our history. What if the world applauded our decisive actions. What a fairy tale that would be.
