We Are Better Than This – Part 7

What’s going on in Washington? The tariffs are on, then they’re off, then they’re on again, then they’re off—high tariffs on China, except for electronics. Who are the president’s economic advisors? Is it Larry, Moe, Curly, or all three?

Government by impulse is dangerous. What is the long-term strategy? What trade concessions is the United States looking for? Please explain it to me, because “Make America Great Again” doesn’t seem to be working. Government employees are out of work, and their former agencies are disappearing. The measles epidemic in Texas is increasing while health care is being run by someone who opposes vaccination. A U.S. citizen is wrongly deported to a South American country, and the nation’s president refuses to allow him to return home.

Someone tell the president that there are no mulligans or do-overs in government. Running the country is not a game.

This man has his finger on the button, but his health is great, and he is fit for office. At least that’s what his medical team of Dr. See No Evil, Dr. Hear No Evil, and Dr. Say No Evil has determined.

And amid this executive chaos, the Conservative legislators applaud his actions and pander to his dwindling number of supporters. Then there is the unworthy opposition that acts like a deer blinded by headlights. Of course, both political parties are united in one area. They both ask for money.

Well, it looks like someone got out of bed on the wrong side, or maybe he has overdosed on caffeine. My apologies for my blogging rant.
