Oh man, I so want to keep using the phrase "Enemy of the People" just over and over ad nauseam, because really what else is there to do as a blogger, revel in the "Enemy of the People" status that Trump has bestowed upon you, and just keep going. Truth or not, "Enemy of the People" is indeed the newest thing from Trump, and I will need to venture over to CafePress to get myself the appropriately marked coffee mug.
Trump and his "Enemy of the People" were actually not my intention today, but after a few beers, it seemed a perfectly adequate topic. As I said on FB, for a country that was founded by illegal immigrants, we seem to take a dim view on them today, which can even be construed in a worse fashion when you consider that Thanksgiving is supposed to be a holiday where we recognize those of the first peoples who lost so much when they showed the newcomers from across the see a bit of basic kindness. Kindness you have to wonder if they are regretting when you consider the treaties broken and then the fact we want to shove the Dakota Access Pipeline onto them. It really must be nice to be a caucasian who actually doesn't give a shit, and maybe someday I will become one of them, but it isn't now.
Questions, ruminations, and the occassional bit of silliness from this life and how it progresses.

I forgot
Since it seems President Trump approves of blogs as journalism (see those allowed into press conferences), then I guess, since I seldom approve or say nice things about him, I may have been elevated to an "enemy of the people" which seems to be his defacto term for the who publish unfavorable things about him. I find it interesting that if Fox News isn't careful, they will be tarred with that brush as well. It also sounds like Breitbart found one of its editors in trouble recently. Considering how unpalatable I consider Milo, if he really is for that sort of thing, he really deserves to lose his publishing contract. He likes to inflame people and he doesn't consider how he does it until it is too late. The hit to the bank account may make him a bit more thoughtful, whether he really believes the crap he spews or not.
