You Can’t Heal – 7

Too many politicians remind me of dry alcoholics.

They may want to change, and their poison of choice may have been removed, yet they still hold onto their old ways. One new member of the House of Representatives filled out his communications staff and not his legislative. Helping Americans comes a distant second to building their own brand through exclusive interviews and speeches and being firm in their conviction that assholery is the new virtue, the singular virtue that supersedes any other pretense. They excuse their behavior by saying they are only thinking of the constituents they were elected to represent, forgetting in the process they are there to represent all the people of the their districts, to be leaders and not simple insult spewing Pez-dispensers.

To do this would require the time, effort and work of building legislation.

It would require compromise and conversation, exactly the actions made impossible by reveling in their said assholery, their burpees and commitments to being a troll instead of elected members of a legislative body, and all of them waiting for the first opportunity to go on a field trip south for one more sip, just one more drink of poison.

Five dead and scores more injured, at the behest of fallacy and scoring troll points, taking sip after sip of an empty glass pretending it was all too real, telling their constituents how thin air is nothing less than the finest whiskey.

Not serious people, they are only puppets to masters.

Have a nice day,
