DC Politicians' Art Of The STEAL


By Richard Brody

Since, the theory of our system of government, is based on elected officials, focusing on, and serving the best interests, of those, who voted them in, to represent and serve, the well - being of the nation, and all its citizens, shouldn't these public officials, be held responsible for the relevance, quality, and sustainability, of their actions, rather than, merely, by their promises, and empty rhetoric? Wouldn't it be wonderful, if, once elected, politicians were transformed, somewhat, magically, into statesmen, and emphasized the common good, and the best course of action, to achieve quality objectives? In 2016, Americans elected, a Republican majority, in Congress, as well as their candidate for President, Donald Trump, who was previously, best known, as a businessman, reality show star, and author of the best - selling book, The Art of the Deal. Unfortunately, in recent times, we've been witnessing, Washington D.C.'s politicians, have proceeded, with a focus on, The Art of the STEAL. With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly examine, review, consider, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, why this is, perhaps, not, in the best interests, of our nation, and/ or citizens.

1. Self - interest; self - service: Who is being served by our elected officials, our citizens, or the self - interest, of those, in office? It often seems, it's been all about, their personal agendas, and serving themselves, rather than the rest of us! Since our taxes pay their salaries, this behavior equates to stealing, from the rest of us! It seems, ethics has become, little more than, an oxymoron, because, the so - called, public servants, are serving no one, except themselves, and, perhaps, some of their specific, political donors!

2. Treatment: Our country is based on the concept, that all men are created equal, and equal, fair treatment, for all! However, when Mr. Trump articulates a populist message, which tends to pit American against American, and introduces policies, which appear to treat one group differently, and better, than another, we must ask, why! Most objective observers, have recognized, the agendas of the largest Political Action Committees, or PAC's, and certain larger donors, has, to a very large degree, dominated the conversation!

3. Enriched; exercise: Who is being enriched, and why? When it seems, democracy is becoming a forgotten, exercise, rather than dedicated to the freedoms and liberties, America has always stood for, and represented, we must ask why, and demand better!

4. Attitude; attention; articulate: When Trump was a candidate, he often campaigned, by blaming and complaining, about others, and what has been! Unfortunately, rather than Draining the Swamp, as he proclaimed, he would do, there has been a record number of ethical issues, with this administration. We must demand, elected officials represent all Americans, not merely, their supporters, etc!

5. Losers; learn: President Trump often speaks about winning, and the need to do so, more often. However, when his definition of winning, creates certain winners, and many losers, in a disproportionate manner, we are not being well - served! Our leaders must learn from the past, yet our present government appears, to ignore many of these lessons, and America, as we've always known it, suffers!

Demand an end to the politician's Art of the STEAL! We can, should, and deserve better!

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
