Grasping At Straws

As a proud Canadian, I have been following the gong show that is occurring in the United States. A once proud nation is being brought to its knees by an egomaniac, buffoon, blowhard dictator. He has only been in office for 6 plus weeks and already he has done more damage to the country than all other Presidents combined. His slogan Make America Great Again is farcical.

It is affecting my mental health, in a world surrounded by negativity, I have made every effort to stay as positive as possible. To see the good in myself and those around me and not be brought down to his level.

The scary part is how all the other Republicans are just blindly following likes lemmings going over a cliff. At the top of the list is the weasel Paul Ryan, had tough talk last year during the campaign and now is complicit in the undoing of America. From the travel ban to insisting on building a wall at the Mexican border. Does he not realize that America was built on immigrants coming to the country. In fact his own parents are immigrants. Did he forget this fact? No wonder there are daily illegal crossings of US immigrants into Canada. 

The last straw is his insistence that President Obama tapped his phones at Trump tower. Of course he just spouts this without any substance. The mark of a desperate man who is unraveling and proving that he is not in the least qualified to be President.

Mr Obama, was a shining example of positivity. Everyone around him was taking pot shots at him especially the media and the Republicans and yet all he did was take the high road and concentrate on doing what was right for all the people of America.

If President Clinton can be impeached, only to be acquitted,  for perjury and obstruction of justice than it will only be a matter of time before Trump is meeting the same fate. All we need is a voice of reason to step forward. The voice of reason usually comes from the unlikeliest of sources.

1998, remember Larry Flynt, who offered any female 1 million dollars to come forward with a tale of extra marital liaisons with any Republican. Well he did pay a sum of money to one of Bob Barr's ex wife's. Bob Barr was one of the lead Republicans heading up the impeachment. The Senate house leader Bob  Livingston abruptly resigned before his extra marital affair came to light.

Maybe through my constant promotion of good mental health and being positive I can be that voice of reason.

America is a great country, I enjoy visiting and will continue to visit. However, you need a leader who shows leadership by inclusion and not exclusion. A leader for all the people not select groups. A leader who can accept criticism and not run to Twitter every time someone speaks negatively of him.

I speak for all of us in saying if the heat in the kitchen is too hot than get out and allow us all to have good mental health. Because right now we are all grasping at straws trying to stay positive.
