A bad time to do that Time to use the 25th No butts in the pews

I was surprised and discouraged Friday to see three young boys in the Heights Kroger parking lot soliciting donations for a soccer tournament/ program. They were in the parking lot (not the entrances) and were immediately on shoppers as they exited their cars. Literally waiting outside a car door.

I wondered why they would collect for an event that likely won’t happen, and what adult thought it would be a good idea to send boys out when we are supposed to limit contact with others.

In these perilous times we live in, why can’t someone “do the right thing,” as Spike Lee once put it? Our so-called national leader is not getting the job done, so someone needs to tell him, gently at first, that it’s time for him to go. He could announce that he wants to spend more time golfing, tending to his businesses or with his family.

We should all hope that there are some thoughtful, responsible Republicans (maybe the ones on Wall Street?) who can talk sense to other Republicans, especially those Republican senators who are hoping to be re-elected to office in November. No need, of course, to bother conferring with Arkansas’ own Senator Cotton. Those other challenged senators might then talk some sense into the members of Trump’s Cabinet, who would be needed to agree to collaborate on firing up that 25th Amendment. Needless to say, they don’t need to invite Attorney General Bill Barr to that meeting.

As for Impeachment, the Sequel, maybe it needs to be simplified—you know, easier to understand. Make it for the lying, which never stops; they just keep piling up, starting with the whopper about that biggest crowd of all time at the inauguration. Who should you believe, Trump or your lyin’ eyes? Maybe one lie was too many, and that should have been the end of the Trump regime.

And why would a so-called major political party have even allowed someone to run for office after all that silly lying about Obama’s birth certificate? Plus there were all those readily verifiable examples of poor character and behavior by Trump. You can look it up; there’s nothing fake about it. (The real meaning of “fake news” is bad news.) If there’s ever a book called Profiles in Non-Courage, Reince Priebus, who was the head of the Republican National Committee, should get the first chapter for allowing this walking, talking disaster to even happen. How can that man even sleep at night?

On Easter Sunday, I think almost all of the churches will be packed full of emptiness.
