The numbing deluge

Everyday there is a s new outrage.  The steady stream of stuff coming from the White House and congress that we should be losing our minds about is starting to wear me down.  After going after Clinton (both of them) for stuff that should not have been scandals and just barely bad decisions, the things that the right is willing to turn a blind eye about would be breathtaking if it wasn't so commonplace.  It reminds me of what it would be like if I lived in a place that had nothing but dramatic sunsets and grand canyon Swiss Alp views all the time, only in reverse.  At some point you'd get jaded.  If you lived in a miserable dung heap of a rainy smelly desolate back woods back alley you'd get a little callused right.  So this is not paradise or Hell, but it's relentless and unless we start picking our battles we will get wore down.  We need to stop giving a shit that the deputy spoke liar was sitting on her knees on a couch in the Oval Office when Trump was standing for a photo op.  Because Congress is trying to repeal the ACA without having any sort of plan to replace it.  Stuff like that.  Any one of these things that would have caused the fake outrage machine on the right to kick into overdrive if it had happened during Obama's administration are being shrugged off by the same machine since it's happening on Trump's.  OK.  Well that's hypocrisy for ya.  But, a lot of this stuff is real and dangerous and we need to focus on that. 

Focus on the conflict of interests, the foreign influence via these conflicts, and the Russia connection.  Focus on the attempts to defund and dismantle the parts of the Federal government that should be working to keep us safe.  Focus on the ineptitude of this administration when it comes to foreign policy.  Focus on their attacks on the press and on the demonization of minorities.  Don't fall for stuff they say and don't fall for the sleight of hand.  Keep your eyes on the ball. When the ball comes up missing, don't be dazzled by the trick, demand he produce the ball.
