Donald Trump Approves of Child Separation at US Boders & His Admin Plans to Withdraw the US from the UN Council on Human Rights

We have the most ethically challenged and cruel of despots in a high position of power in the US EVER.

Godspeed to Robert Mueller in uncloaking this imposter -- literally an actor -- who should have NOTHING to do with the governance of people in a fair and civilized society. NOTHING.

Godspeed to Robert Mueller.


Trump cannot blame policy of separating children on Obama 


“The thought that any state would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable"
 

"This is all on the the White House"

Petition: Stop separating children from their families at the U.S. border

Petition Here This horrible Trump GOP policy of separating children from their parents at the border needs to stop. Thank you Judge Dana M. Sabraw — because YES as you say “Such conduct, if true, is brutal, offensive, and fails to comport with traditional notions of fair play and decency”

Trump is planning to build tent cities in Texas for children. So there is no 'if true' -- it is clearly true and they are not good people and they are not being at all honest about their behavior.

Worse they are not representing the will of the people of the United States who reject this behavior.

Trump’s Child Separation Policy is a Moral and Legal Abomination

Here  Heartless and cruel. Unnecessary and deeply upsetting. Abusive of the sacred bond between child and parent.

But Americans are fighting back against Trump and Jeff Sessions:

BREAKING: @RepJayapal is leading 108 colleagues with @BennieGThompson and @RepZoeLofgren to demand that Congress STOP FUNDING the Department of Homeland Security's abusive family separation practices. #KeepFamiliesTogether

Something is afoot: Trump's shedding key GOP lawmakers on his 'spy' lie

Here   “Even Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley have chimed in on the lunatic notion that Trump could pardon himself.
Something appears to be afoot. It's unclear whether it's based on some revelatory polling that's terrified Republicans pre-midterms or perhaps the FBI’s Russia briefings for the Gang of Eight last week. But put a pin in this—...”

Trump & His Adminstration are Off the Tracks

I will post some Tweets here soon. He is attacking Canada with tariffs, literally our closest ally. He is having patriot serenades for himself at the White House because the Super Bowl champs won’t come. He won’t fire Scott Pruitt: the swampiest, most over-spending, ethically corrupt cabinet member in recent history. He is isolating us from Europe by unilaterally withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal.
Most of his campaign team is under investigation for wrongdoing or corruption in the election.
His lawyer Michael Cohen is facing multiple issues of misconduct, both personal and in relation to Trump. His campaign manager Paul Manafort appears to be tampering with witnesses (who reportedly themselves gave the info to the FBI) related to his two trials.

This is just off the top of my head in the last several days. It’s out of control.

It’s a shitstorm. A Harvard psychiatrist Lance Dodes is releasing his assessment that Trump is a “sociopath” and a “very sick individual.”

And we haven’t even mentioned the word “Russia” yet.

Or the “mob” or “money laundering.”

Oh my. Fucking goodness.

Sunset, Venice 12/20/2012
I've been thinking some about the Winter Solstice, the Mayan end of the 30,000-year-cycle on 12/21/12.

What if in fact the world did end? Even though this probably will not happen, to live consciously it is honest for us to take a bit of an inventory.

Am I happy with how I've lived my life? (Yesterday, I thought mostly yes, with some areas for improvement, as below.) Are there changes I would make?
Would I have tried to forgive those that were hostile or disappointing to me?
Would I spend more time with those I loved the most, telling them that, feeling that more?
Would I be happier, grateful for what I have, what I've experienced, the joy, the beauty in this world?

Maybe the answer is yes to all of the above.
So this time can serve as a point of rebirth for all of us. If we think about it.

Because somewhere along the line I realized I think maybe mankind deserves it. !
The way we are killing each other, killing the planet.
How selfish we are, and snotty to those around us. Petty, competitive. Why is this? Do we have to behave this way? (I say no, it greatly detracts and misdirects energy from the full-time celebration in which we could engage, the great multi-cultural, multi-rhythmic dance we can sustain here.)

Maybe God or the Great Universe is fed up, and will pull the rug out from under us.
Don't think I can say we could blame Him/Her/It.

But it probably won't happen. (Probably not! This time.)

Still we are finite on this ride.

It is a time to think, am I happy with how I've lived my life?
Hopefully most of us can say yes.

For the part of us that have a little worry, a little sadness....
This is the time to be present.
This is the time to be the person you want to be, that can die at peace, that can hope to every day be able to look yourself and the Universe in the eye and say, how beautiful, smiling, and thank you. Let's do that.
