Opus 2024-186: Scapegoats

I have not been watching the abundance of videos, nor reading the articles, but I’m seeing a lot of mentions of low-level reporters and journalist being fired for making mocking comments about the Trump assassination attempt.  What is sad about this is that large numbers of people in these organizations have been taught that it is OK to make grotesque comments about Trump.  Good taste and class are not to be consider in regard to him.  Remember the severed head that Kathy Griffin held up.  Remember Maxine Waters telling people to get in the face of anyone who is a Trump supporter.  The list goes on.  Big-name celebrities and high-powered executives have gotten away with this nonsense for years.  Suddenly the low level people are getting fired over it.

What gives?  It is like beating a puppy today for behavior you praised yesterday.  I think that the celebrities and high-level executives are beginning to realize that more and more people are on to their game. We see increasing numbers of people saying that they were once never Trumper’s who are now joining the team and getting with the program.  Since the CEOs are mainly interested in profit, and don’t have any moral compass to guide them, the public turning to Trump means that they have to change the cut of their sails.

Of course, another bit of the sad part of this is that the people who are really responsible for setting this tone of hatred and violence will get away with it scot-free.  They will be sheltered by the legal system, since they pay the prosecutors.  They will be protected by judges who are in their pocket.  Keep in mind that is the way life has been forever.  Don’t expect anything new this week.

But hang in there.  The wind is changing.  The weasels are going into their holes.  The manure is being shoveled in a different direction, and we may see a little bit of sunlight through all this.  If you are a believer, pray.  If you’re not a believer, think good thoughts.  It won’t do any good, but it might make you open to looking little deeper.

November is coming.
