We just celebrated Memorial Day. A solumn reminder of the many lives that were given to keep our country free and to help keep oppression from taking over the world.
It seems to me that we have disgraced those valiant lives that were sacrificed by electing a man who obviously thinks that the very oppressors they gave up their lives for are his friends. And, the only reason he believes this is because they bailed him out of a bankruptcy and laundered money through his properties.
Even if a third of what is being reported about the connection between the Russians and the Trump group is true. It is so morally and ethically wrong as to be criminal. That the party who put him up for election condones these actions is also criminal.
Yes, I am a liberal. Trump and the Republican party in general do not stand for what I stand for, but the fact is even though I did not hold the same views as the Republican party I felt they did have the country's well being at heart. Boy was I naive. These people spit on the graves of every one of our young men and women who have died in some far off land to protect us and the world from dictators, oppressors, and hate mongers. How dare these people insult those lives like that. And for what power, money, their own selfish needs.
I worry about our country and our people. We will never be the same. Who do we trust? How can we believe in our system if greedy, power hungry can manipulate it to their own ends and there seems to be nothing we can do about it.
I want to apologize to all of the men and women who have paid the ultimate price for what they believed in and who did their duty for our country. I also want to thank the men and women who are doing that today around the world. They go where they go because their country has sent them there. Our "leaders" need to make sure that they are not put in harms way because of their own selfish, greedy desires.
To all of the military serving around the world and to all of their families who miss them terribly thank you.
