| IT CAN BE ABOUT MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES, BUT IT'S, ALSO, ABOUT LEARNING AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ABOUT ALL OF THE CHOICES WE HAVE TO CHOOSE FROM. |
....as seen through my eyes!
By: Jacqueline E Hughes
Knowledge, sarcasm, gut reactions, shock and disbelief, and daily revelations have all contributed to this piece. We must never become complacent when it comes to human dignity and embracing basic rights for all. This twisted administration has ignored these rights all for the sake of personal finance and destroying the kindness established by Barack Obama and his previous administration. Sadly, this person now occupying our White House will do ANYTHING to gain total control of this country including ignoring the hardships of hundred of thousands of innocent people in one form or another, often creating the negative scenarios within his own demented imagination!
It is difficult for any loving and caring human being to ignore what is happening around them. The swamp in Washington D.C. is consuming the world with its hate and greed as if the nine circles of Hell, described in Dante’s Inferno, were coming to life before our very eyes!
If you remain oblivious to his hatred, greed, and treachery and you ignore the children locked in cages, molested and dying due to lack of proper nutrition, medical care, and hygiene, than you are one of the callous people who will surely vote once again for this vile, heartless man. I pity you on so many levels...!
Here are a few of my catchy titles for you to ponder:
I don’t know what I was expecting but, I wasn’t expecting so little.
After a lifetime, the truth of the matter is...we are only as good as our leadership.
Kevin McCarthy says, “This is about Socialism vs. Freedom.” (Is it really, Republicans?)
Alter the American identity: Empowering the creepy crawlers after they’ve emerged from under their rocks.
He smelled blood in the water and knew the vulnerability of the Republican Party and took full advantage of the situation.
Eric Garner, “I can’t breathe” case, will not receive justice as per our Justice Department and Bill Barr, the Attorney General of the United States!

| THE SELLING-OFF OF THE UNITED STATES |
Tax Reform Bill passed in December of 2017 was all about having the balls to reduce taxes for the rich knowing its detrimental effect on the well-being of the middle class and the poor.
If life is a ‘box of chocolates,’ let us fully learn what each shape, symbol, and chocolate curly-cue stands for so that we make the right choices.
Joe Biden: “This is not a third term of Obama.”
Oh, Joe...could you compromise and help heal our country by being an advisor to the Democratic winner of the 2020 Election?

| WAITING FOR YOU, MR. PRESIDENT! |
President: If you don’t agree with what I say and do, you can get out of this country. (As you can, sir, and don’t let the Statue of Liberty kick you in the ass on your way out!)
United Front: “This country belongs to everyone!”
Racist rantings go awry: United States president spends the rest of his life sequestered within his 'Golden Tower' in New York City.
Musical statement from the movie, Cabaret, sets precedent for this administration: “Money makes the world go round...the world go round.”
Tax cuts for the rich extends privilege and greed: Another way of exploiting the inadequacies of Reagan’s trickle-down economic theory.

| INHUMANE IN EVERY SENSE |
Locking children in cages and separating them from parents, family, creates new business opportunities for adoption agencies in Florida.
The newly elected Democratic president in 2020 will have to spend the initial portion of their first term cleaning out the existing swamp that was created by the present administration!
Outspoken Democrats, the media, and good people in general regret saying, “Let’s give him a chance,” back in January of 2017.
Hillary Clinton points out exactly what we have to look forward to if Trump becomes president: Disbelievers, haters, and old white men and women vote for him anyway.
The ‘Glass Ceiling’ has yet to be broken: The election in 2020 offers us extreme hope in making this happen very soon.

| WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER! |
“Women Can Stop Trump” is becoming a reality via strong female figures such as Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib.
Black man, Barack Obama, elected the 44th President of the United States, thus proving to everyone that all men are created equal: Trump spends the next four years attempting to disprove this concept.
With the advent of the reincarnated television game show, Alex Trebek regrets not being able to reprise his role as host of To Tell the Truth: The producers have renamed it, Lies, Lies, and more Lies thus keeping a hosting job available for the ex-president.
It is beyond belief and comprehension that such a deranged person in the White House condones the hardship (even the death) of others to further his cause, the denial of our right to collect the money we worked long and hard for via Social Security, the opportunity to provide health care to everyone, the denial of human rights and benefits due to a national disaster (Puerto Rico) because they are people of color and they do not have the honor of voting in our presidential elections, the piece by piece selling-off of our country, scientific climate denial, all for the sake of lining his own pockets and those for whom he feels an affinity towards. It feels as though it is his job to cause us harm and displacement.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, will stop him from chewing up and spitting out anyone or anything that stands in his way of being elected once again in 2020. Ignoring the emoluments clause immediately after taking office by lying about his personal income (foreign and domestic) derived from his newly opened hotel located in Washington D.C. should have sparked grave concerns right from the beginning of his term. Yet, with red lights flashing, nothing became of it. This led to more lies and deceit, open friendships with foreign dictators, and the unleashed power of a want-to-be dictator living on Pennsylvania Avenue.
His blatant and unharnessed atrocities haunt most of us every single day. It is difficult to predict the actual outcome of all of this...only time will tell. We must keep hope alive and believe in good over evil, as well as our own strengths and those of others who believe. With this said, sadly, I leave you with one final catchy title:
What’s at stake here is our dignity, our integrity, and....our very souls.
