Its unacceptable that we don't learn from our history because we don't know it.

It’s embarrassing that our failure to demand accountability for the theft of the 2000 election and the crimes of the Iraq war laid the groundwork for everything we’re embarrassed about today. It’s unacceptable that we don’t learn from our history because we don’t know it.

1. History seems to be a fluid thing defined by those in charge

2. These days, we vote with our emotions not with our common sense. If a candidate has a good manager

who can come up with clever slogans, super photos and grand speeches that don't even have to be truthful, we get suckered in. The safest way to select your candidate is to trust your party and vote straight ticket.

How this clown slipped through should be a warning to all citizens of the U.S. People loved Trump's macho macho speeches and threats to those he didn't like. He should have been arrested for inciting his followers to attack the media, gays or African Americans if he thought they were there to cause trouble. He's lucky no one was killed. I'll bet most of his shenanigans will never make it to the history texts for schools. As we've said so often, no one could write a novel like we've just been through in 2017 that anyone would believe. I lived it and still can't believe it and that's what we know. I'm sure there is more we don't know.

The world is making fun of us and laughing at our predicament. That will continue until he gets a shooting war going between them and then it won't be so funny. Sad.
