To be fair....

I made better use of my time last night. I had to do this ugly four letter word thing.....spelled W-O-R-K .. and I'm glad I had a meeting to take the place of whatever that was last night.

Once upon a time, I would have said being lied to is a pet peeve of mine, but now I almost expect just about any narrative (from anyone) will have grains of truth and grains of embellishment. I just come to expect it anymore. As long as the goal is not to harm anyone else, I let it go, believing some degree of what people tell me and looking the rest open to another side of the story. Most people just want to make themselves look good, and as long as it it's not at someone else's expense, let them spin a tale.

Those types of people, I can still love as family and as friends as long as their lies do no real harm. Prop yourself up if you'd like, but don't knock anyone down, or I really will lose confidence and respect in people.

But I can also shield myself from the most extreme versions of dishonesty and lack of integrity that does do real harm to a nation of people, especially when the lie is TRUMPED up with the halls of Congress as a backdrop.


I just will not give into political theatrics. It's not even worth the effort of anger.

Hate, requires effort, and it requires a certain passion. Trump is not even worth hating. My ears can select better notes than those that come from his jagoff mouth.

I feel for the people that Trump propped up to support his lies, for the express purpose of manufacturing a gotcha moment for his pundits, to keep the weak minded convinced that he is legitimate. I feel for all who wasted their time, when those hours could have been spent in better pursuits.

I have too much else to be concerned about than to sit through that. Being lied to as an act of personal embellishment is one thing, manufactured theatrics to support a lie...I have better use of my time.

It won't be long that the first Republican to stop clapping for him will be marched out with the Democrats that he calls by name as traitors. Maybe he'll even learn to puff on a cigar to mimic the theatrics of one of his other heroes.

Trump likes political theatrics, and I'm glad you were entertained. Now don't you wish you had your evening back?
