Too bad Trump couldn’t handle sitting through a 3-hour musical. There are so many lessons he could learn...

Oh this one gets me every time I hear it. I ugly cried when I saw it in person. I was listening to it when walking the dogs this morning and thought it was as appropriate and timely now as it was then. Can you imagine Trump writing a letter that even remotely resembled Washington’s? |

I was listening to it when walking the dogs this morning and thought it was as appropriate and timely now as it was then. Can you imagine Trump writing a letter that even remotely resembled Washington’s? I have yet to see it live. Was hoping 2020 was going to be the year but then... It looks like it is being promoted for next year about 2.5 hours from me. That may be the one. I have been listening to it here and there in the last few months and just think it is still so perfect. A president with grace. Something to hope for now! |

Character, ethics, and responsibility matter. They still do.

One of the things that stood out to me on the PBS documentary on Hamilton was David Diggs’ comment on the racism of the founding fathers.
“The naysayers against Hamilton have been comparably few, but they’ve triggered debate about the show’s politics and accuracy—especially about the notion that racism and slavery are minimized in Hamilton’s buoyant multicultural reimagining of the American Revolution and its aftermath. But the documentary mentions slavery repeatedly, with frank acknowledgements that the characters in the musical were not wholly good people. Daveed Diggs, who plays Thomas Jefferson, has the money quote on the subject: “You don’t have to separate these things with Jefferson. He can have written this incredible document and several incredible documents with things that we all believe in, and he sucks.”
We will never able to say that about Trump....well except that “he sucks.”
