It was Monday, September 16, 2019. A few days since September 11, 2019 and the hubbub, the Trump hubris and his conceited concentration regarding his heroic deeds during the murder of Americans eighteen years ago had passed, and is a usual, with most modern American tragedies, once the solemn theme music and the bogus thoughts and prayers upon which politicians pontificate have been washed away by the tears of the victims and their families we had moved on. Leave the dead behind and pretend nothing of the same will ever happen again. There I was, a man of a certain age, lucky enough to still have the use of Medicare, sitting in the waiting area for my annual urology check-up with other men and women of a certain age, stuck listening to Wolf Blitzer, feign concern of the actual reporting of events of the day, but instead, exaggerating, for entertainment purposes, THE EVENTS OF THE DAY! One is to guide the audience, the other is pure performance art, like interpretive dance. It was Monday, the beginning of a new week, and I had promised myself to try and make it through the day, without a major blog (I mean rant). I am Gerry Buncher and I am News Addict). My urologist is a part of a twelve-member team of doctors so the waiting room was full, and it was full of fucking foolish other men and women of my age, who might have well been wearing MAGA hats on all of their UROLOGY parts of their bodies. How do I know this because, 5 events, all creating or caused by Trump were on CNN, so much so, that Wolf Blitzer could not take enough commercial breaks because of all the insidious actions of Trump and his crime family and syndicate? And almost to the man and woman of a certain age, cheers for Trump arose. I was ready to use a few scalpels and end the urology misery of my co-waiting room jerks!
On Monday, alone, we discovered that even with the playing of 5, count ‘em 5 videos of Trump and his lackeys Pompeo, and at the time Bolton, saying publicly, that Trump would meet with the President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, Trump, moving his lips without use of his brain, called it fake news, and he would never do such a thing! (Cheers of fake news arose from two men in wheelchairs with oxygen tubes hanging from their nostrils, and some lady with a walker joined in.) The second event was that Trump swore he never meant to use the words “locked and loaded, “ as it pertained to starting yet another Middle East War, but in the demented and perhaps over drugged meandering space with his brain should be, Trump then added, but America has the power to destroy and destroy them BIG, (them being Iran.) More cheers! Third, when asked if the Saudi’s were calling the shots, because of some close families ties between the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salmon, and the American Prince Kushner, Trump turning even more Orange, declared that, nothing of the sort happened, but that he, Trump has a direct line to the Crown Prince, and when oil prices are too high, all it takes a is call and they are lowered. Trump added, of course, no other President has had such access. (What Trump forgot to mention was that no other President has owed more money to the Saudi’s. (A few, what a guy was shouted in the waiting room.) Fourth, I learned that the Auto Workers were on strike, the first time in almost 20 years! They want better wages and of course affordable and inclusive health care. Trump was stumped on this one wanting to side with the workers who voted for him, but all he could say was GM better not move to Mexico. (only one cheer from some guy who when he entered the waiting room a half an hour ago, was greeted by name by the receptionists, so you know he has taken great advantage of his affordable health care. And finally, it seems the NY AG had sent a subpoena to the agency which handled the Trump Corporation Taxes over the past 8 years, that news was too immediate, so there was no Trump response, but a lady filing her nails sitting next to her husband said out loud, leave the poor man alone!
I was in Urology Hell! People of a certain age, MY AGE, in Los Angeles, a blue city in a blue state, men and women who fought in an invented Viet Nam War or even worse a Korean Conflict that never even made it to the WAR status. People who have seen their social services depleted, who have witnessed so-called Americans with Nazi insignia’s and Confederate Flags, decry democracy. People who have grandchildren who must survive Climate Change. People who decry Socialism but damn it are using their Medicare…these mindless, morons, never once realizing, how Trump and his Crime Family have shit and shat on them all cheering, the man who would easily watch them all die! I returned home from my visit, in good physical health, but I was so depressed and down, I did not write a blog. I don’t get it, I just don’t get it!
