Political Frustrations

Possibly my greatest frustrations in life are about things that "don't bother other people."  Much of that frustration revolves around the insidious nature of politics and the deceitful behavior of politicians.

Yes, the POTUS' lack of self-control and irrational behavior on social media towards members of his own party are troubling.  Making new enemies daily, distracting all from his well-thought out agenda, name-calling, and just plain irrational judgment are making matters worse by the hour, day, week, and month.  Making new enemies daily is not the route to legislative success and a second term.  Change makers are always targets of criticism, gossip, deceit, misinterpretation, and more, but they have to sit tall in the saddle and allow "soak time" for their ideas and changes to be accepted.  Personal attacks on his own party and others over social media are counter-productive and non-presidential to say the least.

On the other hand, his agenda, executive actions, insights, and "gitten 'er done" intentions are spot on and what the country has needed for years as we have recently learned.

Mr. President, Sir, please knock off the bullshit and govern.
