Those who have spent time on a middle school playground will understand what I am talking about.
The playground bully is the child who the cool kids avoid Why? Because he is a habitual abuser; teasing, taunting, and name-calling to harass or intimidate the other kids.
Today, that playground bully sits in the Whitehouse.
Every bully has his supporters. Our resident bully is no different. His pushy friends sit in the cabinet. Every day we witness behaviors from these appointed department secretaries that are completely contrary to the oath they swore to the Constitution. Take for example the Secretary of homeland security who, in between costume changes and facial updates, uses her power to intimidate the most vulnerable.
I do not know about you, but I am not okay with any of this behavior. Our Constitution is not a suggestion. Our Declaration of Independence is not a thank you note.
We the people must stand up and push back against the bullies or they will keep punching. We don’t cave into their demands like law firms, media and legislators in his party have done. We learned that lesson on the playground.
It is time to wind up and punch back! Call your legislators , tell them not to cave to the bully.
