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.

The Monday Post Vacation...

...has got to be one of the worst damn days EVER!!! Now that that is out of my system I have to say, there is something beautiful about being in the White Mountains with no service on my cell. No reason to check Twitter, no exposure to the rantings of a lunatic. It's nice. It's pleasant. Now I'm back to the connected world and I don't know that I like it all that much. I looked up actions and quotes from guilty people and it's so strange to see that Trump's behaviors and tweets match to a T. He's so guilty that he's trying everything to stay to afloat and it's just scary. I see my kids do it. I ask my son, "Did you draw on the wall with sharpie?" He goes, "No, it was my sister." I ask him, "Are you sure you didn't draw on the wall?" He says, "No, I said it was my sister!" Then he throws the Sharpie and proceeds to have a tantrum...he's three. Trump is doing all the same things, and more, that

Moods

It's important to document how I feel when I'm depressed. It's important to document the triggers. Most often depression is triggered by a horrible fact that is far too close to home. For me, today, it was that small boy with a quivering lip, in a cage, wanting his mommy. I often have to remind myself that I can't heal the world. I'm such an empath that I legitimately feel the pain of those that are suffering. For many years I successfully ignored the news because it was bad for me. When Trump announced his candidacy I knew I wouldn't be able to ignore it any more. Smartphones also make it hard to ignore, what with all the alerts, etc. I try to turn that negativity into a positive, but I'm having a really hard time right now. Usually, we see good things happening but recently, it's all been bad or awful. I don't feel good about things. Yes, I suffer from a deep clinical depression with a primary symptom of guilt. As if that wasn't enoug

Degradation of the Office of the President

Yesterday I tweeted: "Trump has degraded the office of the presidency so much. Before him, I thought the President was the most informed member of our society. I believed they relied on our IC and made careful informed decisions with national security in mind. I do not feel that way about Trump. In fact, I think he’s a fool. The way the world looks at him and the fact that he is supposedly representing the American people is insulting to me. His constant attacks on our DOJ and IC and the media, his ignorance of tragedies and victories of minorities, are appalling. His policy to rip migrant children away from the parents and putting them in what is essentially a jail is despicable. Then, there are the constant lies. The gaslighting. The manipulation and abuse. The people that follow him with no full understanding of why, the congress that refuses to do their job and hold him accountable...it’s honestly unreal. It’s so easy to become desensitized but don’t. Take a minute
