Weapons of Mass Distraction

Namaste and welcome to the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to read my thoughts. I'm gonna jump right in and try to keep this short today.

POTUS Donald Trump is a weapon of mass distraction. Plain and simple. I learned a long time ago that the thing one must understand about politics, in general, is how to identify the REAL issue that politics and political leaders are attempting to distract the mass population from.
Starting day one of 45's presidency, Trump gave huge tax cuts and funding away from sustainable energy resources back into the hands of the fossil fuel industry setting our nation back decades compared to the rest of the 1st world nations, nay, the entire global population. The United States looked like a bunch of assholes that day and even the best of us got lumped in with Trump. Every day of this regime is an embarrassment for our country and the world. Instead of real news on television, it's always distraction away from the real issue: that there is more than enough evidence to impeach and remove Donald Trump from the oval office. In addition, the only things Trump is the best at as POTUS is: most days of vacationing, most days played golf, least amount of legislation signed, most provable lies told, lowest approval rating, most cabinet resignations, investigations, allegations, and most criminal indictments.
What's really happening to the United States under 45 is one of the largest reallocations of money from the poor and middle class in human history. Approximately 1.5 trillion dollars have been allowed to be given to the top 1% of the richest. Where does this money come from? Tax payers like you and I, that's where. Taxes have been cut on wealthy corporations too. The money hasn't gone to creating more jobs or giving pay raises to staff, but instead it's being given as bonuses to CEOs who already make many many times more money than the average hourly wage employee who needs it the most.
This theft from the American people is treasonous, to say the least. 45 and his wealthy buddies think this is great. You can hear those same words in Trump's rhetoric as he tries to assure the American public that "... everything is great!" Yeah, great for the upper 1%... NOT for the >43 million Americans living below poverty level and a devastated middle working class...

Yet everyone is distracted by what supreme court judge is going to take away a womans right to an abortion. Or another mass shooting. Or what's new on t.v... but never is the focus on change, betterment, or holding ourselves and our elected representatives to a higher standard of morals, behavior, and humanity toward our fellow beings. That attention isn't being focused on the environmental holocaust occurring all over the globe. Nope.

Trump is indeed a weapon of mass distraction. His presidency looking more and more like a shitty television reality show where the cabinet members keep getting voted off the island. Anyone with a moral compass and any kind of humanity or compassion can see this man as the fool he is, always running late for his next outburst of vindictiveness, spite, and anger as he alienates himself and the US from its allies and support around the world. Meanwhile, we, get lumped in with this guy as our puppet in chief... It really is sad. Then we have to see this grown man throwing temper tantrums like a toddler. Shameful behavior and even more shameful that a certain section of the populace will like and support him all the way through his imminent impeachment. All the while, the bombing never stops, the hate never stops, and the lies and deceptions never stop...

There's a lot that can be done, but with the constant distraction and arguments over trivial things it's no wonder that we are not only not making any progress, but we're going backward as a society. It is the folly of all men if we are willing to give up logic and reason for heresay and superstition, or to let fear and the honeyed words of a slicked tongue charlatan cloud ones mind. We must forego prejudice and bigotry while keeping a higher level of standard, and practice what we preach. We can have things like universal healthcare, but we must give up the global imperialism and return our focus where it belongs, on the United States, its lands and peoples within. It is a bad society, doomed for failure, that refuses to treat its own citizens with respect and basic human dignity in lieu of paper money, because it isn't profitable. Health care and education are and should ALWAYS be understood as basic human rights.
Keep learning, growing, and trying to make the world a better place, my friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers...
