We felt compelled to watch Joe and me, maybe a little safer because it was, after all MSNBC and the Talking Heads was not as scary as and more familiar. For a flash of a second, I recalled my family sitting in front of the TV to hear Walter Cronkite quietly introduce JFK, informing us that war with Russia might be emanating because the US had decided to begin a blockade of Cuba…but I was much younger then, and could not quite grasp why how and politics and politicians plotted and planned. Then to my amazement, the camera quickly framed a thing looking like a combination of Jabba the Hutt and the Crypt Keeper, sitting, with its hands folded, moving thin lines which I soon discovered were a form of lips and words were slowly dripping out of its mouth slowly and slowly as what I suppose was a teleprompter slowly and slowly most likely in phonics prepared the lies to be told. I knew this thing speaking was not an actual demon, because, most films about possession and the Devil, underscore the very black eyes (black orbs to be exact) of the Devils Disciples, and this combo of Jabba the Hutt and the Crypt Keeper only had tiny slits, covered with a white substance (and from the amount of sniggling and inhaling one might have assumed it was cocaine, or crushed Adderall  perfectly placed to disguise the fat balls under eye protrusion and readily available for a quick snort!  This thing was frightened, it seemed caged, and the viewer (at least me) was hoping someone with a very strong syringe of tranquilizer was standing out of sight. Immediately, I understood, I was privy to a MAGA rally paid for by my tax dollars…and just as immediate, I became enraged, that this creature still held the power to incite riots, restrict the human condition, and lead this nation to rot and ruin…The longer this thing spoke, the less sense he made and the slots for eyes grew so thin, one might have considered he was asleep! And, 800,000 Americans are still working for free, families still separated, and the Customs Border Control Agents are still “just following orders”

Just as the camera panned in, for a final shot of your worst nightmare…we were suddenly introduced to Herman and Lily Munster, but this time, the cameraperson took us from afar and slowly introduced us to the Munster family standing as if they just watched Rosemary’s Baby and figured out who was the real father of the baby! The words made more sense, but the expressions made it difficult to listen to what was being spoken. There was compassion, there was conscience, and there were honest to God (not the God Sarah HUCKABEE Sanders, or Mike Pence or Jerry Falwell Jr, pretend to adore) FACTS…The Munster’s lightened up a bit, so their message resonated with more reason and rational…and America was provided with a choice…empathy, intelligence, compassion OR part of Putin’s plan to manipulate his puppet, so afraid that FINALLY ALL of the criminal acts committed by this Jabba the Hutt/Crypt Keeper, could be believed and remain sitting in the Oval Office.

So far no declaration of National Emergency…but desperate creatures, especially those trapped in corners act out in ways no normal person might ever conceive…Guilty creatures only want punishment for their perceived enemies…and Con Men never EVER give up the GAME!
