Maybe #POTUS needs to do this…
From a recent post to the Jack’s Winning Words blog –
“Before you speak, T-H-I-N-K!” (Mentors Channel)
Here’s an acrostic worth saving.
T – Is it True?
H – Is it Helpful?
I – Is it Inspiring?
N – Is it Necessary?
K – Is it Kind?
Maybe #POTUS, #Tweeter-in-Chief, needs to run down through that list before he speaks or tweets or signs random and hateful Executive Orders. So far little of what he has done or tried to do would have passed all or any of those criteria.
It appears that the Federal Courts will be as busy as the news fact checkers for the next few years; both sorting through the “alternative facts” that seem to be driving the decisions in the White House these days. Perhaps the White House Press Secretary will announce that there is an “Alternative Reality” in which our #POTUS is the star and from which he will be issuing decrees and taking revenge against those who disagree.
Meanwhile the bulk of the Republicans in Congress who failed to show any backbone at all when confronted with obviously unqualified nominees for important roles in this Alternative Reality government have earned the hash tag #Toadies. It was heartening to see that at least two Republican Senators had enough courage in their convictions about #WatchOutForBears to vote against her nomination to head up the Education Department. It’s sad that not a single male Republican Senator had the same courage, earning them the hash tag #NoRocks.
We are indeed lucky to have “so-called” judges in place who can evaluate and take actions to stop the madness when it goes too far. It might be amusing to watch from the sidelines were it not so potentially dangerous and injurious to the country. Perhaps we have already seen the answer to a question that won’t be asked for almost 4 years. Maybe the solution to what to do about #Tweeter-in-Chief has already earned her own label #ShePersisted. I’m sure that she will also continue to earn the tag – #SheResisted.
In the meantime, we all have the ability and the duty to aid the courts in the fight to hold on to the values that made this great country what it is. The upcoming “off-year” elections for Congressional seats can turn the tide and provide a bulwark against the rampages of #POTUS and his minions. The time to start is now to get rid of as many #Toadies as possible in that election cycle and take back control of at least one arm of Congress. Get in the game and support an opposition candidate. Get a T-shirt that says #RestoreSanity and start campaigning for that change. When your candidate wins you can wear the T-shirt that says #WeThe PeoplePersisted.
