For some, a dream. For others, a nightmare...

It made all of the headlines. It was in all of the papers. Donald J. Trump is a “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic”. And so are all of his supporters. Hillary Clinton herself said that half of the Americans supporting Donald Trump are a “basket of deplorables”

Yet, no matter what Donald J. Trump did, he came out smelling like a rose. It was just something you couldn't predict. Trump took oath of office and the world didn’t end. Didn’t stop turning. No landslides or great floods. Gravity didn’t stop working and allow us to all float off into space. But we knew it was coming. He won the keys to the office back in November. Nobody saw that coming. This was a man who, well, is the REAL “Teflon Don!” Nothing sticks to him. No matter what he did, he came out still smelling like a rose. He bullied. Made fun of. Insulted. Accused. Attacked. Stooped low. Stooped lower. Stooped to the lowest anyone could stoop...and got more popular.

But let's stop worrying about Trump and "all of that." Maybe there are other things we need to focus on. Call President Trump and his supporters what you want, but what do you call this? Since when is attacking 10 year old children okay?
And this.
Apparently no "safe spaces" were available.

Or this. Does Hollywood "get a pass" on making terroristic threats?
This from a woman who turned herself into a "sex symbol". Who used her pop videos to objectify women. Who promised very special sexual favors for any man voting for Hillary. Who posed nude for Playboy. And who was a featured headline speaker at the Women's March on Washington, whose leaders stated the march was to "stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families -- recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country." Who thought Madonna was a good role model?

And here we are.Yes, both sides think they have all of the answers. Maybe the answer is that we eliminate sides and work together. Maybe it's time to vote out the established seat holders and start over. Our elected officials are to serve their public, not their self interests. We just voted in an"outsider" to the highest office in the land. Let's see how that goes. Who knows? Maybe it will work out great?
