Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

As I write I hear a foghorn, so it's not the brightest of mornings.  The fog will burn off, and we are grateful to it for keeping our climate moderate.  Last night we watched "All The President's Men", which struck us both as pretty much the situation our country is in now.  Corruption and disinformation at the highest level and with the cooperation of the CIA and FBI.  Coverups.  But unlike the Washington Post, our current press seems to have no power to persuade voters (except for the left) that we have a criminal in the White House.  Nixon resigned rather than be impeached, but Trump is not that kind of guy.  He's the Big Bluffer, and he makes it seem like Nixon possibly had some kind of conscience.  What happens when there is no Jimminy Cricket on your shoulder?  Then you have a post Disney world with no happily ever afters and no morality on the table.  Seeing the movie, I realized this IS who the Republicans are and have been all along.  Lie to the people, get cosy with lobbyists, take money from people who then own you, and turn a deaf ear to ordinary constituents.  Not much of a party of Lincoln, is it?!
