I took a little time with this one as well. I watched the farewell speech, I watched the freedom award given to Biden, but I make it a point to not watch anything trump does or listen to anything he says, which is never much of anything. I think electing this man is disgraceful and a republican inexcusable move. Haven said that, I agree we need a Virgil and I think we have one. I also would like to see a divide with Obama elected to lead those of us anxious to separate from a corrupt system. I’m sick of the republicans cheating to get into positions that allow them to so disrupt and misuse our lives. I tearfully watched Obama’s farewell speech because I felt the anxiety of all those there who screamed “Four More Years”! I know the fears John Lewis knows when he says he doesn’t see trump as a legitimate president. There is no way this man can be seen as legitimate and/or honorable president when he can’t get or keep his ignorant ass off twitter. Many of us share and agree with congressman Lewis because this assessment is grounded in facts that make trump illegitimate. I’m all for all forms of rebellion. THE MAJORITY VOTE DID NOT MATTER AND THAT IS NOT A DEMOCRACY!!!! They can't keep trying to make it one either. HELL NO we are not going to just move past it passively and pretend all is well.
Unlike Obama I say rebel, resist, and revolt. I’m all for everyone refusing to pay taxes as long as we don’t have far and equal representation in congress. As long as the republican elected leader doesn’t pay taxes why should we? I don’t want to pay for his debts. I don’t want my tax dollars used to increase his private business endeavors. I don't want to pay for a congress that will rob us of our healthcare just so they can try to make sure a good, honorable president leaves no legacy, made no policy changes, and passed no laws simply because he is black. I personally think all minorities should be exempt from paying taxes. You want a white America then let only White people pay taxes, especially if they are voting republican.
The Russians are hacking into our news broadcast, doing what Putin does to his people, and that is hide the truth from them, telling them lies and allowing them to see and hear only what he wants then to see and hear. No this is not a legitimate president by any means.
Meryl Streep really affected me. She is a powerful voice and we need more brave, powerful voices like hers and Robert DeNiro, who wrote Meryl a letter commending her on speaking out at the Golden Globe Awards:
Meryl –
What you said was great. It needed to be said, and you said it beautifully. I have so much respect for you that you did it while the world was celebrating your achievements. I share your sentiments about punks and bullies. Enough is enough. You, with your elegance and intelligence, have a powerful voice – one that inspires others to speak up as they should so their voices will be heard too. It is so important that we ALL speak up.
We love you.
Bob
You know it’s serious when a quiet man like DeNiro starts being vocal.
