Resignations?

Sanctimonious?  Is that the correct term for this?  In House hearings yesterday, several officials involved in the Flint water crisis were "urged to resign."  These included the Michigan governor and the head of the EPA.  I think they bear a great deal of responsibility ("The buck stops here!") and, in fact, might have known a lot more than they are admitting.  (For a politician who campaigned on "transparency," he sure has helped do some sneaky things, mostly in the name of "best practices," which I guess is business speak for "the bottom line," the almighty "bottom line.")  Should they "resign?"  Hmmm......maybe, a definite maybe.

But that's not my point here.  It is the cheek these politicians, as inept as they are, as devious and deceitful and downright dishonest as they are, display in calling for resignations.  As far as I am concerned, if those involved in the Flint crisis "should resign," so should these politicians.  The unctuous, smarmy nature of their pronouncements, "Don't you have a moral responsibility to resign?" and "You, too, should step down." is remarkable.  "...moral responsibility?"  What do these DC politicians know about "morality," other than it shouldn't get in the way of what they want to do?  Their arrogant elitism really shined through once again.

Not only do they not resign themselves (heh heh, as if they would), they don't call for the resignations of their own kind.  What about the blatant lying, the breach of Constitutional authority, the abrogation of Constitutional duty, etc.?  Shouldn't they resign or at least insist their own kinds resign?  Do they not also "have a moral responsibility to resign?"  I guess not, certainly not if one is an arrogant elitist!

Again, to beat a dead horse, I think a lot of people are missing the boat with Don Trump.  It's not Trump, not directly.  It's the system, the dishonest and deceitful Establishment that games the system.  People are fed up, frustrated, and angry with "business as usual."  Trump is merely the one smart enough to play into that frustration and anger.  And, to repeat, I am not a Trump fan.  I certainly could never vote for Hillary Clinton and I am almost as certain that I could never vote for Trump.

And, it's not my fault if Hillary (or Trump) wins.  I'm tired of holding my nose and voting for the least evil of evil candidates.  Let's start putting the blame where it belongs--on the Establishment-types who throw rotten candidates at us.

Funny, this AM there is an online article that deals with this.  I've been saying this for months--about not holding my nose, about not my fault for lousy Presidents and other elected officials, etc.  I am more and more convinced they are looking in, whoever "they" may be.
