As John, my psychotherapist is  fond of saying, "look at the world dialectialically,,"  I try to see the the good and the bad, and, often, how the good and bad are interwoven.
 
CNN is blaring at me that the President did, or did not, fail to "properly" apologize to the widow of a slain soldier when he did, in fact, fact, forget the solder's name. If nothing else, it was a not only an indication of how how government officials cover up for Trump but they refuse to reveal it's a blatant act of racism.

In this place I'm always told "we don't talk about politics." What the Administration means is what people consider "dirty politics," the stuff apathetic people here don't want to hear. It's a a rehab center and nursing home.  A lot of people are old and demented. In general, they're attitude is "what can I do about anything?" They try to care about their family and, in general, take the attitude that it doesn't do any good to worry.       

I'm really glad I had a chance to write the above paragraph because it's something I've been wanting to write for a long time. 
I'll  get back to the first sentence later.
