I opened the newspaper, read most Americans are fed up with bickering…that what they really want is unity.

That would be a blessing if it’s true. But it doesn’t look that way.

The next article was full of bickering.

Both sides have fought in politics for years but, not all that long ago, they had a mutual respect for each other. They didn’t call each other skunks or scumbags.

Those days have now passed. Trump hurls insults – and his enemies hurl insults back.

Let’s hope there is a silent army out there to end bickering. That would be a gift, a blessing we don’t deserve. After all, when was the last time you heard a politician pray for forgiveness after hurling an insult.
