Not The Same.

       Abe Lincoln did something amazing. He split the country in order to free the slaves. It was a necessary and wonderful thing. But he caused a split that evolved into a civil war. In the end his emancipation of all slaves in this country was upheld. History has proved it to be a wise decision. And Lincoln has gone down as one of our greatest presidents. His image is on Mt. Rushmore and he sits in the Lincoln Memorial.
       Donald Trump has split the nation once again. Not for such a monumental and moral deed. But rather, his immoral deeds have split the country. His is an administration built on lies, mistrust and the striving to enrich his and his family's personal fortunes. And do it at the expense of the country he swore to put first. He has not shown any interest in doing that. He has made America Alone Again. You will never see his likeness on any mountain.
       What we need is a change of face in Congress. Our current Congress is so fearful of Mr. Trump and being primaried that they will not disagree with him even to the detriment of the country, states and districts they have sworn to serve. Since they won't serve and protect, they need to be replaced.
       If we were talking about a Cub Scout or Brownie troop leadership, they would already have been kicked out. Without badges, in dishonor. We who love this country find it unconscionable that anyone would lie so often. And for our President to do so is all the more despicable. I truly hope you plan to vote on Tuesday next. And if you do, I hope you will consider voting for anyone but an incumbent.
