Sam Pollak: It's not easy keeping track of all of Trump's screw-ups

So, knowing that my latest diatribe about the president of the United States would be appearing in this edition, it was my intention to avoid any such unpleasant outcome by getting the damn thing done way in advance.

But, y’know, I’m not as young as I used to be, and I’ve been having trouble keeping up with all the ways Donald Trump is screwing up.

I knew I couldn’t put it better than Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post ... which kind of explains why he has a Pulitzer Prize and I don’t.

I could never keep up. Just not inclined to bother to care to keep up with all Trump's issues. Nor do I care to keep up with Hillary's issues. Neither was good enough for the job, but we all elected one of them so until a really good impeachable screw-up comes along we're stuck with him. Besides, the media gave us the Donald and Hillary show, so they knew either one of them would provide good entertainment.

"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty."

no matter whose in office because ...

"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;" I Tim 2:1-3

uhmmm...ok. Here's one of my favorites:

31 ¶ And when the Son of man cometh in his glory and all the holy Angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory,

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations, and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats.

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the king say to them on his right hand, Come ye b]">[b]blessed of my father: take the inheritance of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I thirsted, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in unto you.

36 I was naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?

38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in unto us? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the king shall answer, and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.

41 Then shall he say to them on the left hand, Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, which is prepared for the devil and his angels.

42 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I thirsted, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in unto you: I was naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, and say, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go into everlasting pain, and the righteous into life eternal.

and here's another one I always liked:

17 And whosoever hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue only, but in deed and in truth.

19 For thereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall before him assure our hearts.

20 For if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

But this isn't a thread about what our favorite Scriptures are.

Here is unique suggestion:
Show patriotic respect for the Office of the Presidency and keep track of the accomplishments and the fulfilling of promises.
