5. Understanding things are what they are is the last stage of grief

Sooner or later we'll all get there is we're willing to work through all the other steps of grief.

Once we do get to the stage where we accept facts as they are the time is good for planning and moving forward with intent.

My intent, when I finally get there is that I will no longer wait for American institutions to fight or rectify the Constitutional destruction of the ramming of the Bush/Cheney style of governance or the Trump/Bannon style. That time was spent in vain during the Bush Era when he ignored the dire warnings that Osama Bin Laden was planning on using airplanes to attack in the US and the ensuing wars he took us to and to the financial disaster they created. We must stop expecting all the media to wake up. WE must accept that some of it has and will continue to do their job and support them and get our facts from them. We all know who we trust. We post their articles here every hour of every day. We know who we trust.

I am no longer looking to our foundational thinking because our foundation, our Constitution, is no longer our operating premise. It's been shredded with the Supreme Court decision to select Bush as our President. The same thing is happening unhesitantly with the Trump Presidency. The Constitution and our American Flag are now merely used as images to cover up for thievery and lies. Alas, it's only a piece of parchment with pretty words on it now.

If we don't see the truth then we're just fools being spoon fed what to think or believe in.
