An insane President and a criminal Senate. Go figure. [View all]

[Cyrano]

The Founding Fathers didn't anticipate the fix we're in today. Nor could they have. They wrote a Constitution that was intended to ensure freedom for all, (except for black people and women). But somehow, they missed the possibility of a Trump-like creature, and an entirely corrupt political party, existing simultaneously. None of them could have foreseen this dire threat to the existence of a free, sane democracy.

Some may take issue with me calling Trump insane. Okay. I can understand that. But if he's not insane, then a new definition of the word "insane" is required to explain him, his actions, his mindlessness, his cruelty and his very existence.

And who could possibly have foreseen an entire political party, in total control of the Senate, turning into a criminal entity?

Well here we are.

Destiny/fate/"We The People," or, at least, enough sane voters, have given the Democratic Party partial control of the government. Is it enough to stop the madness? I guess we're going to find out in the not-to-distant future.

But here's the "silver lining." Democrats have elected to congress, an unprecedented number of women, blacks, Latins, Muslims, Native Americans, and out-and-out, unabashed liberals. And this is driving Republicans OUT. OF. THEIR. MOTHERFUCKING. MINDS.

Many of those who were excluded from that original Constitution are now holding positions of power. And it's happened just in time to oppose an insane President and a criminal Senate. Fate? Karma? Or perhaps there is some incomprehensible "intelligence" driving this thing we call the universe.

Still, we are the ones who must deal with a madman "in charge," and a criminal organization protecting him. The Founding Fathers aren't in charge here. The ball is in our court. And history will hold us responsible for the outcome.
