Acting Guilty

When someone is guilty and they know it they often go on the offensive. Meaning, they will blame others for exactly what they are guilty of. This is also called deflection.

We have seen this with Donald Trump so many times, not just in the last three years but, over the last thirty that he has been in the public eye.

His bankruptcies, his draft dodging, his mistresses, etc.

He has floated through life shielded first by his father and next by his own lawyers. He has lied, done wrong, lied about and done wrong again. Never has it caught up to him, not once.

Fast-forward to now:


The 1st Amendment, Freedom of the Press became secondary to a domestic terrorist yesterday when Donald Trump told Jim Acosta that he was the "enemy of the people." Donald Trump, the President of the United States, defended the pipe bomber and attacked Jim Acosta, a man doing his job. An intern was flagged to aggressively take Jim Acosta's microphone and then, true to authoritarian form, Sarah Sanders said he assaulted the intern. Our eyes do not deceive us, trust what you see on that video.

Tuesday, a mere two days ago, Democrats took the House. Donald Trump is now scared shitless because he is no longer going to be shielded by people like Devin Nunes and Trey Gowdy. No, instead he will be facing people like Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell who will find the truth and hold Trump to account.

If he was innocent what would cause him to act the way he has been? If he innocent of actual collusion with a hostile government? Maybe. He's not innocent of money laundering. In fact, I would bet money that he's laundering money with that $106 million he earned for his 2020 campaign.


Mr. Acosta has his credentials removed yesterday, the same day that Trump fired Jeff Sessions. 

My response to this and my message to all members of the press pool, don't show up. If you do show up and one of your colleagues asks a question only to be cut off, ask the same exact question until you get an answer. You're a team, act like it.

In this image, Trump is calling Jim Acosta the "enemy of the people". Trump went completely off the rails yesterday. He's yelling at Mr. Acosta while the intern goes to forcibly rip the microphone out of Jim's hand. Jim was doing his job. Mr. Trump hasn't been.

So, what faces us today as we have a president who is now scared and paranoid? What is Bob Mueller doing right now to make sure that Trump doesn't start a war or blow shit up just to deflect from his obvious madness? I don't know. We don't know.

We are in the thick of it, folks. This is a constitutional crisis and we are in trouble.

Lies

There is nothing I despise more than a lie. Lies, when repeated often enough, can be believed by the person that fabricated them. Never before in our country have we had a president that lies so constantly, with a base that believes him so completely that has a news station to amplify him. It is horrendous, it is dangerous. We need to mobilize, we need to stop this. If not now, when? If not us, who? These children can't speak for themselves. They're minors. Some younger than my three year old. It pains me to think of either of my children in captivity, away from me, with no clear path back to me. How can they do this? How can any government do this? I think of their little faces, their eyes, already filled with fear of being in a new place, feeling solace only from the embrace of their parents and then the mean men take them away and put them in cages. This is traumatic. A senator, I think, Steve King, said that Abortion is the true final separator of child from mot...

Reasonable Accommodation

Months ago, I submitted a Reasonable Accommodation request to my employer requesting to work from home three days per week due to anxiety. They denied the request claiming that "as a Project Manager" I need to be present in the office every day but they are open to alternatives. I went back to my doctor who said I need either, a) the ability to work from home up to one day per week as needed, and/or b) a private office. She cited all of my issues, none of which are physical impairments but that manifest in physical ways. As a person who has been suffering with depression and anxiety her entire life, I work hard to overcome it, and asking for help is not an easy thing to do. So, today when they again said, "no" I found myself annoyed beyond comprehension. This is the conversation as I recall it: HR Rep: We don't have any open offices to give you, and since you are required in the office we can't allow you to work from home. Me: I see plenty of open ...

40 by 40: Day 5 Leg Day

Leg day, ahhh, leg day. I actually like leg day because I don't have to do push-ups. I have wrist issues. However, my hamstrings were twitching like mad and walking up to Beacon Hill from Back Bay was way more straining than usual. My first weight check was Friday, May 25th: 183 Today, I weighed myself (a week later) and: 179.5 Goal: 143 Remaining to lose: 36.5 Just seeing the numbers go down is so motivating because I know that what I am doing is working. I am also totally aware of the fact that the first few pounds go away easily and it's the stubborn last few that linger, but I'm on my way. Hell, I've done it before. I can't blog too long today. I have a fire to put out. But tomorrow I have more cardio and while I hate it I know it's important. Talk soon L
