AFTER MUCH THOUGHT

I HAVE GIVEN THIS POST A LOT OF THOUGHT. THE REASONING FOR THAT IS TWO FOLD. ONE, TO BE ABLE TO WORD IT IN A MANNER TO BE UNDERSTOOD, AND TWO, FOR ANY WHO MAY ACTUALLY READ THIS TO THINK ABOUT IT A BIT. SO HERE GOES.
First, I will repeat my opinion of President Trump. I did not vote for him initially. I think he is a proud, egotistical person. I don't think he has a high moral standard. I do think he has higher morals than a lot of those in politics these days, but that is not the focus of this post. The Democratic Party, and some in the Republican Party, stated the morning after Trump was elected that they would do whatever they could to bring him down. And they have spent the last two years doing just that. Some of the things they have done. They have spent two years and millions of tax payer dollars trying to tie him to a Russia obstruction of justice scheme. Although in that two years, they found something, it was apparently not enough to bring charges. Although the Democratic party is trying to do so any way, in spite of Pelosi saying no. Not at this time, any way. They said that who ever he nominated for the supreme court they would not sustain them. They tried not to the first time and went all out the second time. Even though Kavanaugh may be squeaky clean ( and I didn't say he was) he will have a cloud over his head for the rest of his term in the supreme court. 
They tried many things to bring down Trump. They even came up with a law suit filed by a porn star from several years before Trump even ran for office, much less after he was elected, like Clinton.  While I have an idea myself about Trump's affiliation with the porn star, that is what she is, she sells her self to men for money. If she sold her self to Trump and he paid the price, that sure doesn't make him an uplifting person, but please people, lets not elevate her to something that she is not.  
The Press. I have the utmost respect for the first amendment. I had a lot of respect for Walter Cronkite and Huntley and Brinkley. I actually met Huntley and Brinkley one time, back in the 60's. I watch NBC news. I have tried to watch other channels but found them all lacking. Including NBC. However, the first words out of Savanna's mouth the morning after the election was Donald Trump won the election. What did we do wrong. HMMM that seemed to me to place her opinion. And that is fine. She is a human and she is entitled to an opinion. However, she and many others have spent the last two years trashing President Trump for whatever he may have done. And I will admit he has given them plenty of fodder. 
Now, I am going to mention a few things that Trumps has done and wants to do.  He has brought up the economy and down the unemployment. He wants to, and has done some of it, change the environmental regulations. He wants to bring back the businesses that have moved over seas. Where does the fault lie with that?  In several past administrations. Starting probably, in the 1970's. The environmental groups bring up a rule they like and the tics pass a law and the next thing you know, businesses shut down and move out of the country. Lets look and good environment regulations and then open the steel mills and the textile mills back up. Bring those company's back to the U.S. The government, under the auspices of saving the environment, wants to get rid of all coal fired power plants and go wind and solar. That is an admirable thought. But it is not sustainable.  It takes huge amounts of land to put in solar or wind farms. It takes huge amounts of money to build and support them. And it takes a huge amount of electricity to keep this country running and when the wind don't blow and the sun don't shine, the battery backup is not large enough to store the electricity needed to power us. And the environmental groups want to shut down the mining industry. They don't realize that the solar panel and the grid items that go with them and the wind chargers and the grid items that go with them come from items mined from the earth. 
So, to wrap this up, I would like to see our Senators and Representatives spend the next two years working with the administration for the good of the country. They have spent the last two years fighting him and accomplished relatively nothing. If they don't like Trump, so be it. If he comes up with a radical idea that is not good for the country, vote against it and say why. If he has a good idea, one that will help the economy and the country, then support it. And if they want someone else to be president in a couple of years, campaign for who they want. BUT, do what ever they do for the good of the country, not the git rid of Trump focus that they have been on for the past two years. 
AND THAT'S THE VIEW FROM THE DITCH BANK
POSSIBLY PART ONE

  1. But...according to Mueller AND the Mueller report there IS evidence tying him to Russia. He just can't indite a sitting President. Only Congress can. But after he's out of office next year, he can and will be brought up on charges. The list of his illegal dealings are varied and lengthy. He himself has said that he will not do anything for the good of the country if he sniffs that it would be in cooperation with anyone he deems unworthy. Congress has tried to get simple, simple things done and he refuses. I know there are players on all sides, but his complete disregard for law and order is astounding. Not to mention his unwillingness to actually do the job he was elected for. As for Savannah's comment (and I'm not fan, by any means) I think she said "Where did it go wrong" because he won despite polling evidence that he shouldn't have (thank you Russia!). NOT invoking an opinion on the matter.
