Parental Advice Fails

During my youth, my parents, like many if not most parents, advised that "if you cannot say something nice about someone, don't say anything."  That is dangerous advice in these perilous times.

As King Trump and his cronies attempt to demolish the legal, financial, health, cultural, environmental and social support systems in this country, we cannot be quiet.  As they trash our alliances and spread propaganda, we cannot hold our tongue.  As the King rakes in millions through his grifting schemes, we cannot look the other way.  As the rights of both American citizens and immigrants are trampled, we must speak up.

One cannot imagine a worse individual to lead and represent our country.  Trump and those who support him deserve whatever criticism and opposition they receive.  We have no other recourse.  Sorry Mom and Dad.
