gritty musings...Bright Shiny Pennies

So is it the end of days...am I over reacting to the apparent insanity that surrounds us all??.,.  I have friends, dogged Bernie supporters, who have rabidly attached them selves to the beauty and flawed attempt of the Vermont senators bid to lead us to the holy land of good sense and political reformation.  they see no difference between a Hillary presidency and a drumpf duck dynasty...But I do...and it is illuminating the decent of our nation in the pathos of the video millennium...Yet I sorta get the whole outsider thing..."He's not one of them"... i hear that alot and I relate totally to the frustration of a electorate so disconnected from those they elect, that they need, nay want a radical change in their government...but lets get this straight... this isn't Jimmy Stewart's, "Mr. Smith goes to Washington"...no underdog sent to battle the evils of Washington with virtue and honesty... this is Donald Trump..a philandering billionaire, whose shortcut

So as the two of you that read this know, I am a lover of facebook...I know its cool to dismiss it..the food pics, the baby pics...the sharing of ones feelings from one moment to the next..But as I scroll through my daily feed, what I find stunning, absolutely breathtaking...is the secrets I find out about people,  secrets I never dared guess... I never knew.... Jeff loves trains...Susie is a clog dancer...Bob gave his 8 year a gun for his birthday...and many, many people think donald trump would make a great, not just a good president.   Now that is a jaw dropper.  I try to delve into their reasoning...he's a political outsider..he'll shake up the Washington status quo...he'll have the fate of the entire planet in his tiny, tiny, boyish hands...I am amazed that people don't see or remember his stupid tv show..
