The Outrageous As Commonplace

The outrageous has now become commonplace.

It's sad, but it's true. Don't believe me?

• Shootings of multiple people are now commonplace (there were two so far this week, in Chicago and in Denver). 
• School shootings -- commonplace. 
• Acts of violence against Jews, gays and other minorities have become commonplace. 
• Police officers being gunned down -- commonplace. 
• Convicted criminals getting nothing more than a slap on the wrist -- commonplace.
• Lies from the occupant of the White House and his minions -- more than commonplace. 
• Attacks on the military by the so-called commander-in-chief -- commonplace.
• Members of the Dump family doing things they criticized others for doing -- commonplace. 
• Attacks on the free press in America -- commonplace.
• Republican hypocrisy -- commonplace. 
• Government officials treating the US Treasury like their own personal slush fund -- commonplace. 
• The current administration trying to use federal agencies to get revenge on people the dictator-in-waiting doesn't like -- becoming commonplace. 
• Insulting our traditional allies while cozying up to dictators -- commonplace.

We cannot allow these outrageous acts to continue. Violence against others, and attacks on our constitutional freedoms, must not be allowed to become commonplace. America is better than this. We must not allow the current occupant of the White House to ignore the laws and use his position to enrich himself and harm America.
