". . . A Public Manifesto
Citizen Therapists Against Trumpism
As psychotherapists practicing in the United States, we are alarmed by the rise of the ideology of Trumpism, which we see as a threat to the well-being of the people we care for and to American democracy itself. We cannot remain silent as we witness the rise of an American form of fascism. We can leverage this time of crisis to deepen our commitment to American democracy. . ."

"Let us take you back 50 or so years ago: It was a typical January evening; dark, cold and windy. The young Aellen children were all in their rooms for the night. Snow was blowing from everywhere. You could hear the wind howling through the eaves. . . One of the older children heard a slight tapping sound coming from the bathroom. As the evening progressed, the tapping became more noticeable and being startled by the noise, he alerted his siblings. As the sound grew louder the children felt that surely a burglar was trying to break into the house. In their frightened state, they convinced their parents to call the police to investigate the mysterious sound. . . The police arrived quickly. After briefly interviewing the children’s parents, they proceeded to perform a perimeter search. The police concluded their search and having found no footprints anywhere determined no intruder had been present. . . The children’s father assured them that they were safe and sent them back to bed. The children were not so easily convinced. At breakfast the next morning, their father tried to explain the sound was merely winter’s fury. To have a bit of fun with the kids, he personified the noise. And so The Red Shedman was born; a mysterious person who resided in the family’s red shed. For years afterward, any time something would go bump in the night, their father joked that The Red Shedman was coming. . . The children are now grown and the red shed has long since been torn down. Every once in a while, on a cold blustery night, when the wind is howling, they wonder if The Red Shedman is still lurking in the shadows. . . This beer is dedicated to Jack Aellen- our beloved Father."

". . . A spokesman for Signet Classics which currently publishes 1984 said sales have increased almost 10,000 percent since the inauguration and moved noticeably upwards on Sunday. That's when Counselor to the President Kelly Anne Conway appeared on Meet the Press. When host Chuck Todd challenged the Trump administration's assertions about the size of the Inauguration Day crowd, Conway responded by saying that the administration had " alternative facts." . . . That phrase drew a lot of attention. . . On CNN's Reliable Sources, Washington Post reporter Karen Tumulty said "alternative facts" was a " George Orwell phrase." Expanding on that idea in an interview today Tumulty said it reminded her of the double speak found in 1984 where "war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength." . . ."
. . . this about a very young, at the time, gentleman whose effervescent personality exuded youthful unpredictability and enthusiasm for life. The music, at least I believe, makes a sincere attempt to capture that unpredictability, in its melody, chordal and rhythmic structure.
Yes folks, we're here. We've reached the point where our president's most pressing issue is a non-issue. . .

". . . There’s this constant theme to undercut the enormous support he has,” Spicer said of Trump.
. . He said the Republican had repeatedly been underestimated by a media landscape that constantly second-guessed him. . . “And it’s unbelievably frustrating when you’re continually told it’s not big enough; it’s not good enough. You can’t win.”. . ."
First of all, still unbelievably, he already won. (Remember the election.)
Second, it's time for this young man (pick one, Trump or Spicer) learn what every OTHER seven year-old has to learn . . . You can't always have it YOUR way (read: pretend that the facts do not exist).
