All this business about Trump\u2019s campaign collaborating with the Russians and the suspicion that Russian President Putin has Trump in his pocket is another convenient distraction from this country\u2019s real priorities\u2014working towards racial justice and income equality. Don\u2019t get me wrong, Trump should probably be impeached and imprisoned for his dealings with the Russians. Isn\u2019t it obvious Putin\u2019s oligarch cronies have served as Trump\u2019s main source of financing since his spate of bankruptcies made him persona non grata in the investment community? Why do you think he never released his tax returns? Who would like to wager that he\u2019s up to his eyeballs in Russian money laundering?<\/p>\n
Like most of you, I\u2019d like to see Trump dumped and in the trash bin of history. But putting him where he belongs (Lock him up! Lock him up!) should not be a distraction from the priorities this country faces. Once again, as the clock ticks and people\u2019s lives pass by, Washington and the media are asleep at the wheel when it comes to addressing the issues that really matter\u2014racial injustice and income inequality. Yeah, I can\u2019t repeat those words enough times\u2014racial injustice and income inequality. Maybe if a saw some progress being made, instead of more evidence that we\u2019re going backwards every day, I might stop repeating them, but unfortunately, that time appears to be a long way off. If the Democrats take the House in November, they can impeach Trump, but that only leaves us with Pence, who might be the most conservative President we\u2019ve ever had, or at least as far back as far as I can remember, and I\u2019m going on 200 years old! No matter who is President, the Democrats cannot take their eyes off the prize\u2014racial justice and income equality (there, I said it again!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
