Waiting For The Nightmare To End

TRYING TO REMEMBER which Senator said "good people don't smoke marijuana", I finally came up with Jeff Sessions, who was in the Senate until Trump tapped him to Attorney General. One couldn't possibly imagine a crazier thing to say, offering yet more strong evidence that not only is the Attorney General, but the president who appointed him...a nut case. Good people don't smoke marijuana? Huh? Excuse me? You have simply got to be kidding me! There must be anywhere from forty to a hundred million folks in America who smoke dope, and around the world...what, half a billion? Well, what the F ever. And they're all bad people? Sessions favors using the federal government, believe it or not, to lay the heavy hand of the law upon the states, and to force those which have already legalized marijuana, which is most of them, to change course and obey federal law, under which, of course, pot is a Class One or Two narcotic, or whatever, deadly dangerous, and punishable by incarceration. Just how he plans to do this, short of a coup by the Trump administration lifting them to the status of dictators in perpetuity, is anybody's guess. Sessions also indicated that because becoming a desperate refugee from some god forsaken war torn country, and risking death, with your children with you, to get to the United States and somehow survive is, well, illegal, and that therefore, forthwith, when asylum seekers arrive at our teeming shores, parents and their children shall be separated, as a deterrent, just to show them a thing or two. If the asylum seeking scoff laws don't want the U.S. to break up their families, then by God, they shouldn't be breaking the law. Unbelievable. The tempting question is: exactly, or approximately how many millions of Jeff Session's fellow right wing Christian fanatic extremist hate mongers agree with every word this former racist probably secretly still racist demagogue reprobate spews? Meanwhile, we are left only with the option of waiting for the nightmare of extreme right wing governance to end.
