Trump- Oh the Irony!!

October 10, 2016 by Sharon

I don’t even know what to think anymore about our country.  The fact that we have two people running for our president who are reprehensible is well- reprehensible.

One thing that has shocked me the most is how aghast people seem to be over what Trump said.  I agree it is terrible and cannot be defended by anyone who cares about women or the human race for that matter.  But are we really that shocked???  What I’m shocked about is how many men have come out and said how disgraceful it is.  It is just so ironic to me that we as a nation are so upset by what was said.

                                                   Oh the Irony,  Oh the Irony,  Oh the Irony!!!

We make TV shows like Two and a Half Men popular and think the characters are so funny.  Yet when a man shares the same sentiment as the show, we are aghast!!

Internet Pornography is rampant, and we really don’t seem to care.  Yet when two men mention the looks of a woman, we are aghast at it!!

Women dress provocatively just to go the the grocery store.  They dress provocatively to get men’s attention, yet women are aghast when men notice and comment on a woman’s look.

We know that powerful, wealthy  men usually have a beautiful woman on their arm, yet when a wealthy man admits it and admits that women will have sex and let him do what he wants, we are aghast!

Donald Trump is a mirror of our society.  Like him or not he is the ultimate “universal man” for a section of our society.  When we look at Trump, we are looking at our nation as a whole.
Crass, abrupt, rude, tactless-  funny these are all attributes that many overseas see in Americans who travel abroad.
I know I have readers in other countries– Please, Please tell me if I am wrong about this.

There are some wonderful, loving people in our country.  I love the United States of America.  I hate what has come in this election.

We are better than this, but unfortunately, this is what we have come to.

I am aghast that so many are aghast!!

I don’t find this scene funny.  And- look at the comments on Youtube!  And people are saying today that men don’t talk like Trump did.  Give me a break!!

Pornography a 10-14 billion dollar industry in the USA

I am so fortunate that I have always had loving, respectful men in my life.  My father was wonderful to me and all women when I was growing up.  R was wonderful to me.  Dr. T is wonderful to me!!  I haven’t come in contact with men who acted like this in front of me.

2021- New Year, New Word My Word For The Year

I have a new word for 2021. New Year, New Word. I’ve written before that I kept the same word for many years (I guess really a phrase), and it was Still Waters. I wrote about it a little bit HERE. The events of 2020 helped cinch what my word should be. I was ranting […]
