Less chaos, more civility needed in White House

Every morning for the past year and a half, we have awakened to a White House in chaos.
Scandals, firings, tweet storms attacking individuals and institutions, incoherent ramblings and odd gestures flood from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. People say that the president thrives on chaos. Personally, I tend to favor civility, predictability and peace.
The never-ending barrage of ugliness from the White House is damaging to our global reputation, to the functioning of all facets of our government, and to the very health of all Americans.
It is simply not productive to live in an environment that is in a state of constant chaos, particularly when most of it is generated by the president for no justifiable reason.
The only majority-party congressional members who are willing to express concern about the president’s bizarre behavior are the 30 or so who are leaving Congress in 2019. The rest, including 16th District U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, seem unwilling to criticize the president’s actions in order to protect big donor contributions to their re-election campaigns.
Our remedy is our power to vote. The mid-term election is Nov. 6. As a recent editorial in Sauk Valley Media reminded us, we have more choices on the ballot this year than we have had in a long time.
Unless you are a person who thrives on chaos and unpredictability, you might want to join me in voting for change this fall.
