It's not "normal", folks. [View all]

It's Monday morning and the coup continues...

The chaos in Washington deepens as the career politicians and the mainstream media work hard to persuade the people that there is a normal political process taking place in our nation's Capitol. They are delusional. Nothing is normal in the Trump White House.

It is not "normal" to have such an unstable, secretive, dishonest person sitting in the highest office of this land. It is not "normal" that he has his daughter, who is good at designing purses, sitting in the West Wing with a secret security clearance.

It is not "normal" that his son-in-law is in the White House, acting as an adviser, but making big personal business deals with China.

It is not "normal" that he has a Leninist as his top adviser who wants to totally tear down our government and our institutions.

It is not "normal" to have someone in power who refuses to make public any tax returns or details of business deals around the world. It is not "normal" to have no transparency in our government, especially at the very top.

It's Monday and chaos reigns as the nation depends on a far-right fringe group called the Freedom Caucus to save us from the terrible, destructive plans of the establishment Republicans like Paul Ryan.

We cannot permit ourselves to be lulled into indifference and into believing there is something "normal" happening in our government. It is not.

The coup continues its slow march to success. Our options are less and less with each passing day. We are finally down to our Justice Department. If the FBI and our Congress lose their battle, it is over.
