President Trump and members of his cabinet were vaguely shot at yesterday.
I don't condone violence of any sort, let it be clear.
I don't condone hypocritical petulance, either.
Trump has said this wouldn't have happened if he'd had his White House ballroom.
School shootings, workplace shootings, and all the like wouldn't have happened had they had ballrooms either, per that logic.
But since Sen. Lindsey Graham sees fit to introduce legislation to let President Petulant get tax money to pay for his ballroom but nobody seems willing to lift a finger to do to much of anything to lessen the impact of school and workplace shootings, I say fie to it all.
We have a very hypocritical government. They get free health care, pensions -- and in some instances, jobs -- for life. And we pay for it all. But that kind of thing just isn't done for the masses. We have wars to fight, Trump says. So that means we can't pay for health care, or child care, or Social Security, or any of the other social safety net programs that actually show benefits outside the pocketbooks of arms contractors.
The sooner we elect someone besides this twink and his enablers, the better.
