If you are reading this I would please ask you to say a prayer for my sister-in-law Jeanne. She is having some health issues and was admitted to the hospital yesterday. Jeanne is the Dysinger family prayer leader and is always looking out for and praying for others, well it is time for us to give her a few prayers.
Yesterday I stayed home for the whole day, other than to go to my weekly Rotary meeting. I thought it was probably the wisest thing to do. Let the Trumpers get some of their goading out of their system. Also the Wednesday afternoon Pickleball round robin was canceled because of high winds that came in yesterday afternoon.
Since I was sitting at home I did some laundry and other house work and I contemplated the outcomes of this election. What I realized is the that we are teaching our future generations that lying, stealing, cheating, and assaulting women is OK. Integrity means absolutely nothing.
Trumpers can say all they want, but when you get right down to it Trump is a total scumbag. He has declared bankruptcy multiple times. He has defrauded lots of people and groups many different ways (Trump University, St Jude’s). He is a sexual predator and has bragged about it. He lost a civil suit to E. Jean Carroll for sexual assault (plus has dozens of other sexual allegations made agaisnt him). He paid hush money to a porn star to try and keep her quiet about having sex with him. He has been married multiple times and fathered children with multiple women, He cheated on each of his wife’s (including the current one). However many elected him because he is a man of god. He has been convicted by a jury of 34 felonies. He was impeached twice and the list goes on and on. He will kill the ongoing investigations on his involvement with January 6, and stealing of classified documents. He lies pretty much every time he opens his mouth.
I was always taught that a persons integrity meant something and that if you were not honest, and trustworthy that you would not get ahead in this world. Well I guess I am a sucker, because I bought into that line of thinking.
Now it’s not just Trump that is a scumbag. It’s a lot of the politicians that were elected this election cycle. In Montana for example the majority of the States representatives have a rap sheet. They have either been convicted or plead guilty to some type of crime. The governor plead guilty to assaulting a reporter, plus has had multiple other questionable issues around hunting illegally. One Congressman was fired by Trump as Secretary of the Interior and has had multiple questionable business dealings, the States Attorney General has lost his license to practice law for a period of time because of how he has handled some issues. The newest elected Senator has lied to national park law enforcement about shooting himself in the arm.
So what does all this tell our future generations of leaders? Morals and integrity mean absolutely nothing. Facts mean nothing. Until Donald Trump came on to the political scene you did hear the term “Fact Checking”. Factual information used to mean something. You did not have candidates in a debate blurt out that the rules were that you are not to be fact checking me (JD Vance during VP debate).
Anyway as I mentioned before our Forefathers built us a country and like a bunch of trust fund babies we have screwed it up and are pissing it away.
We will see how long it takes Trump to start extracting his revenge on those who have opposed him. Liz Cheney and all of the January 6 committee will probably have IRS agents knocking on their doors real soon scrutinizing every part of their financial worlds. They will probably be in front of a firing squad before long. That will be one promise that the narcissist bastard made to his followers that he will keep.
It is looking like Trump and his minions will have control of the whole shooting match. The house is still not called but the trend is not looking great. So Project 2025 is looking scarier and scarier. However that is what the majority of the American people want.
Sadly I would bet that the vast majority of the people who voted have no idea what they have just voted to put into play. God help us all. I can tell you that in my head I spent a good chunk of yesterday consoling my dearly departed wife in my head, because she would have been physically ill and emotionally unhinged. Fortunately she is not here to have to view the continuing fall.
Like old PT Barnum used to say “There is a sucker is born every minute”. No pun intended, but it sure sucks when you find out you are the sucker.
Well enough for today. Please say a prayer for both Jeanne and our country.
