Moving Fast

So now we have a special counsel for Russiagate. William Mueller is a trusted and capable person for this assignment. It is also a good start on sorting out  the facts and fiction of this whole issue. For those people who support Trump or blindly support a Republican in the White House regardless of who he is, I say it is time we all knew what is true, what is fiction, and what is fact.

Clearly Trump says whatever is on his mind and shapes the message instantly for approval or shock value. Whatever he has said in the past is now suspect. We simply don’t know if his comments and statements are true. Literally, he misspeaks, propagandizes continually, and shades the facts. In frustration he claims anything unfavorable to him to be fake news. Perhaps even his frustration is fake?

Nonsense! He has so clouded his credibility that nothing he says is believable. And that’s the problem in a nutshell.

A special prosecutor that we all trust will help us find out what is believable.

In less than 120 days in office Trump has brought all of this on himself. It is an amazing display of hubris and narcissism. It is so over the top it is hard to believe what has happened. But the American people insist on a credible person in the White House. And that’s what we will get with or without an impeachment.

I don’t know if Trump will be impeached. I wish we could get this over and done with quickly because the not knowing and time delays only serve to damage our nation’s reputation and ability to conduct serious business. I am not a trump supporter and never have been. His campaign rhetoric was off the track and libelous against all of his primary candidates, and certainly against Hillary. The campaign showed us the type of person Trump is. And was. And will be. The stripes do not easily change.

My take on all of this is get rid of him and find a replacement – the Vice President? – and get back to business. Even that is clouded. Mr. Pence is beginning to come up covered in doubt now.

None of this will be easy but it is necessary to live through and survive.
