Decency . . .

(from https://people.com/politics/washington-national-cathedral-donald-trump-statement/?fbclid=IwAR2M3jGog7li0s3_ON1PKn-oalDShdxQ_S8WsG-QxEISLiffYZE5p6T0HWw)

". . . The top leaders of the Washington National Cathedral . . . issued a withering condemnation of President Donald Trump‘s inflammatory and, at times, racist rhetoric. . . . With repeated references to the mid-century hysteria around Communism, in which Sen. Joseph McCarthy stoked vitriol and suspicion in public discourse, three top cathedral officials said President Trump was doing much the same now. . . “We have come to accept a level of insult and abuse in political discourse that violates each person’s sacred identity as a child of God,” reads the . . . statement, signed by the Revs. Mariann Budde, Randolph Hollerith and Kelly Douglas. “We have come to accept as normal a steady stream of language and accusations coming from the highest office in the land that plays to racist elements in society.”. . . The trio asked, “As faith leaders who serve at Washington National Cathedral — the sacred space where America gathers at moments of national significance — we feel compelled to ask: After two years of President Trump’s words and actions, when will Americans have enough?” . . . Declaring “the time for silence is over,” the statement continues: “What will it take for us all to say, with one voice, that we have had enough? The question is less about the president’s sense of decency, but of ours.”. . . "

More Dancing . . .

Dancing's done so many times
Throughout our dearth of years
Enhancing celebrations
And distracting us from tears

A dance initiates our being
We dance from womb to world
We dance through trials and tribulations
Til a final breath is heard

To dance and to enjoy ourselves
Requires no specific reason
We do it without thinking much
It's always dancing season

Dancing Season

When . . .

. . . do we CALL this? . . .

(from

". . . President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that African Americans are so delighted with his attacks on the city of Baltimore and US congressman Elijah Cummings, an African American, that they are calling him at the White House in large numbers to thank him. . .He also claimed that African Americans are generally happy with his performance as president. . . "What I've done for African Americans, no president, I would say, has done. Now, I'll say this: they are so happy, because I get the calls," he told reporters as he left for a speech in Virginia that was boycotted by black state lawmakers. . . A Fox News poll conducted from July 21 to July 23 had Trump at 75% disapproval among black registered voters, with 22% approval. In a Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted June 28 to July 1, 81% of African Americans said they disapproved; 18% approved. Both of those approval numbers were substantially better than the one in the new Quinnipiac poll, but still: On the whole, large majorities of African Americans were displeased with him. . ."

. . . it's NOT funny anymore!

Sad . . .

. . . sad facts . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/fact-check-second-democratic-debate-2019-night-1-n1036471)
". . . "Tonight as we speak right now, 500,000 Americans are sleeping out on the street, and yet companies like Amazon that made billions in profits did not pay one nickel in federal income tax," he said.

He's right, according to an analysis of corporate filings put out by the progressive think tank Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP.)
. . . . . . . . .

"We pay more for prescription drugs than any place, actually, in the world. We’ve got nothing to show for it," Bullock said during a round of questions about health care.

Close. Americans pay more for drugs than people in any other developed country in the world, CNBC reported, citing recent studies.
. . . . . . . . .
"When I went to Canada the other day, people paid 1/10th the price of insulin that they’re paying in the U.S," Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed Tuesday night.

Americans do pay 10 times more than Canadians for insulin, according to the reports documenting Americans who drive across the border to purchase the lower-priced insulin. The cost of insulin for treating Type 1 diabetes nearly doubled between 2012 and 2016, according to the nonprofit Health Care Cost Institute.
. . . . . . . . .
Sanders flubbed one of his regular talking points — that three people have more wealth than the bottom half of the nation.

We've fact checked the original talking point before, and it’s true that three people — Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffett — are estimated to have more wealth than the bottom 50 percent of the American population, according to a report by the left-leaning think tank Institute for Policy Studies.

Follow-Through . . .

My recent correspondence with my representatives in DC . . .

Writing to implore you to read and share (URL below) with as many lawmakers as possible. It appears that most of them do not understand their responsibility in following-through on a special counsel investigation.

Laws . . .

. . . may or may not have been (or are not currently being) provably broken, but do you really want to allow this person to continue in office???. . .

(from https://www.baltimoresun.com/opinion/editorial/bs-ed-0728-trump-baltimore-20190727-k6ac4yvnpvcczlaexdfglifada-story.html?fbclid=IwAR3IwUg4MGaikqVXAvWD3W9lkGMLQTy_TKhxZXiBk--4n058qF2YZgUbdN8)

". . . we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are “good people” among murderous neo-Nazis that he’s still not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one. . ."
