“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” The first book of A Tale of Two Cities is entitled Recalled to Life.

For those of us who have read Dickens, it is both an education in storytelling and a stern reminder that a story cannot be tied up in a pretty ribbon in the last ten pages just because. I was always a bit annoyed at his handiness in tidying up. Perhaps seeing even as a that the world did not allow for such a clean sweep of the broom.

Having spent an ungodly number of hours watching the hearings for the Trump’s choices to lead our country forward, I found the first line of the book pounding in my ears. Warren, Sanders, Franken asking questions that showed intelligence, knowledge and preparation…..to know we have such people out there, willing to continue to do battle is heartening.

And yet, all of these profoundly unqualified, smiling puppets that will take up their positions in a day, begin to …what? What exactly will they do? They don’t even know what their jobs entail. What happened to getting the best and the brightest? If he’d done that, just that, MAYBE, I would not be so utterly and completely disgusted.

We have been recalled to life. We cannot accept mediocrity. Not that our soon to be President and what he represents is mediocrity. That would be a welcome bush sort of okay. This is a scary ass, omg he’s gonna get us all killed cuz he thinks he’s god shit show.

Women are marching to make it known that we are, how shall I say this? Pissed? Not taking his presidency as a fait accompli? He is not our president? He is not even a bad third choice? The facts that he keeps saying are facts are NOT facts?

Oh and btw, this is NOT 1984….so stop listening to the doublespeak. He DOES have a conflict of interest. He WILL talk business with his sons. The Russians did screw with the election. And yes, he peed on a couple of women of the evening.

…….and you’re still on the fence?

Jump already.

You cannot conceive the many without the one.

Calling him mediocre is giving him way too much credit. I won't say more because you cannot affect the mind of one who has had their mind switched off the the words Jesus or Money.

If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.


wickedeasy replies on 1/20/2017 1:09 pm:
yes, I agree. I could call him the devil incarnate but to what end. he is not a stupid man, he is a man with no character, a bully, a misogynistic homophobic racist with narcissistic tendencies. better?

They are gleefully getting ready to strip the government down to the barest of bones and build the military up. Privatize everything they can and strip down every social program so they can cut taxes even though it has been shown that will increase crime and leave the people that can't help themselves out in the cold and suffering from lack of healthcare.

That says something to those who know what it means.

I wish upon them poor health so that they can't work and lose their jobs and have their homes foreclosed upon as they wonder how they are going to get the healthcare they need but lost when they lost their jobs.

a truer thing was never said.
If you are going to march, be safe.
I don't think I will but only because I have been feeling ill.
It will be pounding rain here in SD.

Again, stay safe.
I think that the police might feel empowered to act unprofessionally.

Excellent post!


wickedeasy replies on 1/20/2017 1:15 pm:
I don't think they will. the eyes of the world are on them. this is a licensed event. and if they do........well, it will make it even more newsworthy.

Trump's inaugural speech was scary. Demagoguery at its very worst!


wickedeasy replies on 1/20/2017 1:20 pm:
it wasn't as bad as it could have been and certainly nothing to applaud. what struck me was the dearth of people.

am hoping that tomorrow's rally will be peaceful and get coverage.

Scary times. My only hope is that the worker bees in the federal agencies will just keep on keepin' on, despite the unqualified people who have been picked to lead their agencies. Of course with the new provision that they can cut anyone's salary to $1 - we'll see how that goes.

I'm marching tomorrow and hoping that it's nonviolent. Be safe my friend!

I was also hoping for the best and brightest to invalidate his ideas. I'm unhappy with his choice of Dr. Carson to lead HUD and his choice for the VA because he represents the status quo. Our veterans deserve better.

I like DeVos because school choice improves teaching and schools at the local level because they have to compete with each other to get students and families to stay open. I worked in the poorest of the poor inner city schools for most of my career and when you can show improvement and learning, parents and kids love and support the school. Getting teachers to sharpen their instructional strategies is paramount in importance. I'm good with Mad Dog too.

Never ignore those who care for you

Devos was so off on the guns. her lack of specificity proved to me that she could not lead, but would have to bring in someone to do that.
