Consequences. . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/trump-praises-dictator-has-consequences-n883036)
". . . So he's a very smart guy. He's a great negotiator. But I think we understand each other.
(Fox News' Brett) BAIER: But he's still done some really bad things. . . TRUMP: Yeah, but so have a lot of other people done some really bad things. I could go through a lot of nations where a lot of bad things were done. . . Besides the shoulder-shrugging or the muted reaction from GOP lawmakers (that’s now the best way to know when they’re comfortable with something the president said), there’s an important consequence to Trump’s praise of dictators and authoritarian strongmen: What happens when the United States is no longer the world’s moral compass? . . ."

Free

Relief, exhilaration
Giddiness and childlike glee
No more running on the treadmill
Pleasing everyone but me

Not that nothing seemed rewarding
Many things accomplished sure
Some sincere appreciation
From honest observateur

Many ready ears were there to listen
Many varied kinds of souls abound
There were caring personalities
Several selfish also could be found

Now that's over; new page has begun
With all its new potential
Nothing done has been regretted
What's ahead has me enthralled

Dry . . .

When the feeling overtakes you
To rain brimstone with some fire
On your fellow earthly beings
But the anger and frustration
Of the wasted opportunities
Overwhelms the pithy arrows
That you'd very much like to fling
And nothing seems to flow
From depths much drier Than Sahara

Obviously . . .

. . . Trump took a moment to explain the significance of a Supreme Court vacancy Wednesday to Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, saying that, "In our country, the election of a justice of the United States Supreme Court is considered, I think we can all say, one of the most important events." . . . He added that, "Some people think outside of obviously war and peace it's the most important thing that you can have. . ."

Supreme?. . .

Troubled, worried
Concerned about
What we, as a people,
Will become
If we continue down this path
Of national, egotistic
Self destruction?

That Said

Praised the dictator of North Korea (“He’s smart, loves his people, he loves his country”);

Attacked the prime minister of Canada, calling him “very dishonest and weak”;

And continued his attacks on the federal investigation into his campaign team?

And that’s all in just the last two weeks. . ."

Wind . . .

"He that troubles his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart"
-Proverbs 11:29 (King James Version)

(https://a.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/expert-sarah-sanders-broke-ethics-rules-with-tweet-about-restaurant/ar-AAz5vtH?li=BBnbfcL)
". . . Walter Shaub, federal ethics chief under Barack Obama and briefly Trump and now a fierce critic of the administration, responded: “Sanders used her official govt account to condemn a private business for personal reasons … she can lob attacks on her own time but not using her official position.”. . . The story set off a fierce Twitter battle between Trump supporters and opponents, many on both sides comparing it to a recent supreme court ruling that said the owner of a Colorado cake shop was right to refuse service to a gay couple, based on his religious beliefs. . ."
