The glow of agent orange, blazing poison the minute it hits the flora, fauna, and futures of the men and women who must breathe it in, only to exhale bile and bacteria as dangerous as any invention by Monsanto, was generously displayed as the Emperor wearing no clothes paraded upon the podium, pretending, with the crooked lecherous smile of the Joker, and the contrived conversation of the con man selling no snake oil this time just snake shit, lying, leering, learning that the truth don’t matter as long as it contain just enough bigotry and bias, spoke, knowing that every word he muttered and minced meant nothing for the American people, but everything for the American King.
It was a history, right in front of our faces, and for some we knew this scene had played out before, for others unwilling to realize that authoritarianism, fascism, and nationalism are ingredients for an eruption of the soul and conscience of a nation which had never really recovered from an ailment of long ago called the Civil War. With words as useless as the letters imprinted on a teleprompter, which soon die once they fall off the screen, the man behind the curtain, with his hot air ballon ready to take him to Moscow if necessary, pretended that all men and women are equal, suggesting a bipartisan solution to EVERYTHING, as long as EVERYTHING went his way, because HE is the one Jesus elected to run this nation. Nothing he spoke of was real, and nothing he proposed he wanted…unless he and Mr Putin agreed to it beforehand.
A Civil War, indeed! The GOP with generals named McConnell/Ryan/Nunes/McCarthy all steward soldiers of greed and gluttony, at the ready to lead the charge against democracy applauded this masterful, undermining of America. Truth need no be told, truth need not be discovered and truth need no matter. The stench of cowards sweating, the odor of anarchists cheering, the smell of the decay of democracy was so odious as to filter through the television sets in the homes of those who watched the State of the Union. The saddest thing however will be, that those who supported Trump and Putin have no idea that like carbon dioxide, a silent and deadly creeping wave of air, those who take no notice of the overthrow of this democracy will also die the same death as those of us who MUST continue to RESIST and never give up or give in!
