When is it too much?

in politics •  7 years ago 

I am not in politics, but I do read and listen to as much as I can. I watch both sides, hear both parties, and typically realize that both sides are ridiculous. When the investigation began into Trump, I thought what a joke. The other side lost, and then did exactly what they blasted Trump for threatening to do. They didn't accept the election. Instead, they corrupted the political field by paying for dirt on a candidate, they threaten to impeach him etc. Now, mind you, I feel if there is a crime, even the President should due his/her time. Then there was the raids on the homes and businesses of those close to the President just to see if there was any collusion. This is where I felt they will discover it, and bring a quick trial to get the guilty party out of office immediately. This didn't happen. After this, they threaten jail time for Flynn for not telling the entire truth to the FBI. Offer a deal to turn on the evil President, but still no impeachment, no offense worth bringing up.
Throughout the year plus, more evidence of Hilary, the DNC and the FBI collusion with Russians, violating federal laws, and rigging the election has been found. This is where you would think the powers that be would reduce their efforts in looking into every aspect of those closes to Trump, and instead look into those that have clearly done something very wrong. This is where you are wrong. Instead of raiding the DNC, the Clintons home/office, the Obama offices, the FBI offices etc. They get a warrant, and raid another person, who has been fully cooperative in the words of the FBI, but nevertheless a raid was needed. In this raid, they even mention how unorthodox it is as they may accidentally come into possession of data that is protected by Lawyer Client privilege which could lead to a mistrial.
So now we have no criminal act from the President, Mueller shifting his focus away from the original inspection and instead looking to see if the President has done anything that could be construed as interfering in the investigation to attempt to charge him with something. Remember, this would be the Man in charge, possibly interfering with an investigation that is far more in depth than if the last president was even Born an American and fit for office. If he interfered, trying to stop the witch hunt and save millions of taxpayer money, they that would be his only crime.
Meanwhile, not a single Democrat in the DNC, the Clintons, the FBI agents etc. All of whom there is evidence of crimes go unpunished. Heck the FBI LIED under oath to FBI and they are suing to get full paid pension with our tax dollars.
If you are reading this far, it sounds like I am a full blooded Trumper. I assure you I am not. I would have selected several other Republicans before him, however I will say I am impressed with what he has been able to do and only wonder what could have happened if he was given the same opportunity as every President before him. It is a sad day when both sides of our political government have become so deep with Hatred for the other side, that they have lost all hope of helping this country.
If the poor get a decent meal card, the Left wins and the Right loses. If the Government is able to build a wall to reduce (at least until a way around it is created) trafficking of drugs, guns, prostitutes etc across the boarder then the right wins and the left loses. If we have to show ID to vote, the Right wins, the Left Loses (even though you have to show ID to get into movies, buy cigarettes, booze, get government benefits etc... Renewable energy, which should be a no brainer, is a Left win Right lose somehow. This is one area I agree with the Dems. Don't worry about the global warming and if it is caused by fossil fuels or not. Just understand that Fossil Fuels are a finite resource meaning the world will eventually run out. Add to that the fact that renewable i.e. infinite (except when the sun is down or the wind doesn't blow) means that the world would never run out. Finish this off with the fact that it is almost the same price and getting cheaper every year, this should be a huge win for the Country and the World. Infrastructure is the only item I have seen both sides come together, and even on this, the republicans want investment from the end users, and the democrats want to make sure only the federal government foots the bill. I know my home state of Indiana is spending millions to fix the potholes, and would welcome an additional 20% from the Fed to allow for more fixes, and more permanent fixes. The fact that the democrats say end users wouldn't gratefully accept is ludicrous.

I say enough it enough. We need to bring back some sort of professionalism to this government of ours. We need to figure out how to negotiate and come to a rationale agreement that helps this country. We need to make sure the lawmakers live by every law passed to the public and do not ever get special carve outs like with the affordable care act (Obamacare). When they have to suffer with the rest of us, maybe they will realize the special interests are not special, just selfish. We can start with dropping the investigation into our President (at the very least remove it from the public to retain the professionalism the office should hold) and then work together starting with the easiest tasks.

I apologize if the rant went all over the place. I am new to this and will work on keeping my thoughts more focused as I continue to enjoy this community and look forward to learning perspectives as my followers post their thoughts and ideally some new ways to view topics. We can all learn from healthy debate/discussions and I hope to learn as we go through this journey together.
