Draining a Swamp

[BIAD]

...Just keep that in mind when painting the left with the colors of their worst voices:
They learned it from the worst on the right and I wouldn't point my finger at any of
you just because of 8 years worth of vial emails. 

Yep, I've seen them.
There are websites and Youtube videos were the gender of Mrs. Obama is seriously pondered, even
here on this site.
There are cartoons where Barack Obama is painted as a Muslim and it's been commented on many
of the negative things Mr. Obama did without the MSM broadcasting it.

It's suggested that the previous President wasn't born in the USA and the documents that prove it
so, are still under debate in some areas. Ted Nugent and others slurred Barack Obama and Hillary
Clinton.

Eight years of racist bigotry from those who voted against Obama compared to the meagre months
Trump has been in power is certainly something that should be taken into consideration.
I mean, Trump is rich and white, Trump struggles to understand the nuances of the Beltway
and let's face it, the electorate picked him because of the alternative.

Social media is stuffed to the gills with this juvenile sh*t and it's done to get the rise... to bring
an angry response so that the user can take another swing at somebody who has a different view.

But for myself, it's not whether Mrs. Griffin is left or right and it's not because she's woman or
a man (which I think Alec Baldwin can be pinned with this as well)...and it's not that it could fall
under the heading of a hate-crime, none of these things really bother me as an adult

The actual act doesn't really bother me and if it's art, then it's art.
In fact, when she apologised for the fallout, I genuinely thought it just slip away and be filed
with the many Hollywood insults about a strange-haired wealthy white man who isn't very bright.

Although I thought the comment...
"It's hurtful to me," Griffin said. "There's a bunch of old white guys trying to silence me and
I'm just here to say that it's wrong." -was a bit much. This implied she knows that old white males
did this deliberately and yet she offered no evidence for such a claim.

What bothers me is that the lack of self-responsibility Mrs. Griffin shows by saying it's the
President's fault that her career has been destroyed. This wasn't a photo-shopped image made
up in a kid's bedroom and it isn't a something that was done to get a subtle message across
that had merit.

It was deliberate and there was someone else who created the effigy and someone who took the
photograph. There were publishers involved and together, that image was produced.
Just like Marilyn Manson did last December.

Cause and effect is another good saying and I think Mrs. Griffin's outcry should be more aimed
at the echelon of CNN and the Directors of 'Squatty Potty' than the guy she attempted to ridicule.

I cannot state that President Trump contacted these companies and demanded a type of financial
revenge, but again, cause and effect is an action all adults should be aware of.

It's the over-all juvenile, dumbed-down mentality that's the real problem here.
People hate or dislike President Trump for who he as a person and not the station he commands.
And just like those who came before him, he has to take the nastiness on the chin... just as Kathy
Griffin should do too.

My own personal disappointment is being witness to the steady dilution of the lofty post of the
American Presidency and I'm not even American!!

On a side-note, here's a piece from an article about Mr.s Griffin's latest situation.
'Rosie O’Donnell tweeted about the infamous stunt. “[And] she apologized right away — she made a
mistake and owned up to it — more than we can say for HIM,” the 55-year-old wrote, referring to
Trump.'

Owning up to it was a mistake...? You see, juvenile behavior.
