So it's Holiday Season!

In any case, pause, where's Santa Claus? No Menorah? No sugar treats or snowmen or pine trees? What's more, what's with the spunky pilot ladies in cowhide coats, that is not extremely Christmassy!

All things considered, approve, generally the occasions are a period for bubbly festivals, fun, pointlessness, fellowship, and liberality. Yet additionally they're a period for year-end reflection. What's more, good lord, what a year 2017 has been!

What a year for sure.

Thus, putting aside any splendid minutes you may have appreciated in your own life this year (and I'm trusting there were many, a large number of them!)... does any other individual believe that 2017 may have been the most dangerous, poisonous, discouraging, appalling, unnerving bad dream of a year we've ever experienced?

Note: I'm mindful one could without much of a stretch discover this topic a bug downbeat for an occasion post. I haven't been posting much, and I know it's unusual that I'm at long last composition something and it turns out it's a political tirade and not a helpful rundown of Last-Minute Christmas Gifts for your Favorite Gym Rat, or, God restrict, yet another post on How Not to Screw Up Your New Years Resolutions.

Be that as it may, I gotta be straightforward: all I need for Christmas, and for 2018, is my fucking nation back.

I know this assumption isn't all inclusive. Possibly it's simply me and my clan who are grousing, a clan I won't attempt to characterize decisively, however I'm speculating in the event that you made it this far, there's a decent shot you're one of us.

In any case, Jesus. 2017. What a shitshow, isn't that so? We've been watching slack-jawed and shocked as a parade of fiascoes walked by, consistently. Sea tempests, surges, rapidly spreading fires, mass shootings. Embarrassments, disloyalties, impropriety, attacks, debasement, misleading. Most astonishing of all has been the revelation, on the off chance that you live in the United States of America, that our nation was not the rational, caring, ground breaking, inventive, tolerant, opportunity cherishing nation we thought it was.
At regular intervals comes some new awful advancement. Laws and directions with alarming long haul results are sanctioned, assets to life-sparing projects are cut. Inadequate, degenerate or unhinged instruments of unique interests are selected to high government positions. The earth, general wellbeing and security, discretion, equity, reasonableness - all are being destroyed, pissed on by people with great influence for here and now pick up. The President of the United States, who ought to be a good example of knowledge, development, and mindfulness, regurgitates uncouth, disdainful and outlandish affront in the dialect of a pre-schooler. He spooks and defamations and lies and brags. He speaks to our country. It is strange.

Following quite a while of forward advance on a wide range of issues, out of the blue we face a daily reality such that staggering atomic war, or the annihilation of our planet because of irreversible environmental change, dislike slim chances, but rather more like genuine, deliberately methodologies. Why? Who is this profiting? It's craziness.

Who realized that we could fall in reverse in time so rapidly to the dim ages? Presently science is suspect, since individuals who have confidence in it have a tendency to be "liberal." Superstition and obliviousness and starry-eyed reasoning principle. Bad faith, abuse, dogmatism, contemptibility and eagerness are the new ordinary, and we're all simply expected to underestimate them. Individuals who explore or report wrong-doing are being quieted or expelled. News associations that report stories pondering gravely people with great influence are being undermined with some kind of yet-to-be-resolved requital, most likely illegal. However, that entire "Constitution Rights" idea is outdated now, isn't that so? The Constitution is badly designed when you need to separate based on religion or race or sex. Be that as it may, no stresses. You can simply delegate judges who will joyfully disregard it and you're great.
