Really?

Snip: I was about to buy some beef and someone told me there was a problem in the stock market.

Snipe: What are you talking about? Beef is livestock! The market problem is a wild fluctuation of investment tanking world wide because some orange felon decided to play golf.
Snip: Oh, I guess I don’t really know much about the market. I thought it was a grocery store.

Snipe: Even so, you probably have more understanding than the nitwits opining. The felon’s sycophants say it’s the best thing ever and the opposition says it’s disaster.

Snip: There is just so much mis- and dis- information floating around. I’m having trouble focusing.  I was going to go to town and someone said there is trouble at the town hall. The town hall, the markets. What’s going on?

Snipe: Some elected officials are afraid to go to town hall meetings. They say the opposing party members fill the venues in order to attack them.

Snip: I thought those meetings were to let citizens ask questions and get opinions.

Snipe:  True. The party officials and some pundits say that the meetings have been taken over by radicals to cause trouble. Personally I don’t believe that the opposition would spend the time and effort to meet with a person already known to ignore their questions and concerns.  And even if they did, are they not entitled to be heard by the elected officials as much as the party loyalists?

Snip: Seems more likely that supporters would attend.

Snipe: Exactly. So, some talking-heads and the party officials tell the elected officials to stay away from town halls. That simply verifies the fact that they really  don’t want to  hear from anyone with a question or a different point of view. 

Snip:  Then there are other things I’ve been hearing. Security secrets out through careless use of cellphones, Vitamin A overdoses in Texas in the measles fight, legal residents being kidnapped and sent to other countries, thousands of people being fired for no verifiable reason, grant money aimed at poverty and disease being canceled and, one I’m really worried about – the loss of social security and Medicare – programs I’ve paid for during all my working life.

Snipe:  Many  of those issues tend to strain the rules of legality.

Snip: Why are they permitted?

Snipe:  The courts are tied up in hundreds of cases due to the massive drop of Executive Orders and their possible illegality. So, the felon is trying to also take control of courts, of media, of law firms and more. 

Snip:  He seems to have time for fun and fund raising. Who’s minding the business. Where do all these written orders come from?

Snipe: Probably from boot-lickers. It’s been shown that organizing a full sentence is difficult for him so I feel confident that he has nothing to do with writing orders. Probably something like, “Hey, peon, write something that says I can make Europe pay more for corn.” And thus is born a tariff  bill. 

Snip:  I believe in fiscal responsibility. I believe criminal immigrants should be ousted. I believe that some jobs are probably superfluous. I believe there is waste and fraud in many sectors of government and society. 

Snipe: I’m with you all the way. But, I also believe that facts should be verified before just dumping people, jobs, grants, etc.  One article I read justifying  action without proof used the phrase, “It has been reported…”  My question, who reported it? What evidence was cited? 

Snip:  Well, I’m still wondering about going to the market for some beef. Should I?

Snipe:  I’ve heard from two different opinions. One says to buy now – before prices really jump due to tariffs. the other says – hold off on purchases because prices will come down. I imagine your own ideas are just as good as anyone’s.  Back to the old phrase, Keep Calm and Carry On.  Oh, and write your elected officials even if you didn’t vote for them. You pay their salary, and their secure retirement I might add. They are answerable to you.
