Sunday Post #431 August

Hello fellow bloggers. I knew when Trump was elected, that we would all receive an in your face lesson on how our government really works.

Well, it was a wild and frightening day Wednesday. Almost, unbelievable. I have read so many books that it wasn’t a total surprise, yet I do not understand how our leaders could stand by and allow such a thing to happen. Then, as I watched the electoral college (which I believe should be eliminated) roll to confirm Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as President and Vice President, I could not believe some of the politicians speaking. Why are they not totally outraged over someone trying to stage a coup…and whether anyone wants to believe it or not, that is what it was…An attack on our constitution, that they were claiming to uphold.

I normally don’t watch news, but I couldn’t tear myself away for the entire day. I am curious to see what they will do today. Are they going to stand by like they have been and let those who are behind the coup walk away? It is mind blowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t people understand what really happened? Are THEY going to sweep it under the rug and pretend nothing happened. AND, what about all the secrets Trump and his family hold.

This is how dictators are born. Tough to face the fact that it could happen here, but why not? SO…I ASK THOSE IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE…ARE YOU A MAN/WOMAN OR A MOUSE?

I feel if I don’t say something, I am part of the problem. This is too big to be ignored.

Stay safe and wear a mask..

Tackling The TBR – 10.11 – 10.17.20 #tacklingthetbr

I got the idea and the motivation to start doing Tackling The TBR from All The Book Blog Names Are Taken. It has helped me to keep track of my reading shelf as far as current events and I also started doing a post for Books From The Backlog, from Carole’s Random Life in Books, to tidy up my shelves. I feel better about my out of control TBR and have even knocked off a couple of those old ones that had been hanging around for years.

This week I had a hard time concentrating, so I didn’t get much read and I added a few.

COME ON….JOIN IN.

Sunday Post #431 August

Hey you. I am always happy to share what’s been going on here at fundinmental, but I am sitting here watching College Game Day (as the talking heads are coming to us from their Covid bubble), knowing it is Labor Day weekend and the tourists are heading my way, thinking WTF! Has everyone lost their freaking minds?

I have a passion for football, college and pro alike. I would spend every Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday glued to my TV when games were being played. Every Saturday started out with College Game Day. Though I will miss watching, I think they will end up canceling the sports season until 2021, and I feel it never should have been attempted to begin with.

And the protests about social injustice….I don’t even have any words to tell you how disgusted I am. All our country’s flaws are being revealed for everyone to see, and that is a good thing. Just like an apocalypse, all the good and bad come out, and for those who are standing up, I applaud you and thank you.

I am sure, here in Florida, the beaches will be packed and…I don’t even know what to say any more. I remember SARS and Ebola and they never got to be this bad. What was done different? Leadership!!!

PLEASE everyone in the US! Make sure you are registered to vote…and vote in every election, from local to national, and let your voice be heard.

Isolation is getting to me. Even though I am retired and not a lot in my life has changed for me personally, I still feel…lost. I have tears in my eyes as I type this. If I have offended anyone, that was not my intent. I just feel by staying silent, I am part of the problem.

All that being said, I hope you are safe and having the best week possible.
