“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov: Hey Trump, such a sad sack, a person who can never face the truth for fear that the real facts are like acid and are certain to burn away all the fictitious fragilities from which you fantasize and fidget? The shame is your sham is pretty cool, or is it calculated or just plain cruel? You have been hiding from yourself for so long, I believe you could not identify the real you in a police lineup. A fucked-up freak of nature, no morals and no values, just a selfish, self-serving psychopath. Your deliberate dalliance with truth, honesty, is nothing but a thin shield from which you find comfort in deferring, deterring, demolishing all of the perceived enemies, most likely caused by a demented and deteriorating shell of a human. The delay in justice finally finding you and placing you in a cage, has been arduous for all Americans, but hopefully soon, the goodwill triumph over an insidious idiot!

“A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.”
― Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back: Shana Tova, Jared, and Ivanka Trump, Dr. Richard Sackler & Family, Bernie Marcus, and of course Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, and you little want to be Nazi Stephen Miller? Were you in shul, asking God to forgive your transgressions for the past year, so something cozy and comforting can be written in the Book of Life for the Jewish New Year of 5780? Have you decided that supporting a bigoted, anti-Semite, lying, con artist, was the perfect way to ingratiate yourself with your God? Is it greed that guides you? Is it the greasy, gluttonous glory you receive thinking that money, and power make the man and woman? Will you be fasting, finding atonement for Yom Kippur, pretending that sitting in front of a Torah, reading from prayer books will replace any conscience, replaced by your con artistry? What exactly will you tell your children as the world they inherit from you, (no not the money or finances,) but the evil stench of ill will and selfish intentions fills their lungs with rot and their hearts with ruin?

“People who believe that they are strong-willed and the masters of their destiny can only continue to believe this by becoming specialists in self-deception.”
― James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room: Hey there, Crazy Rudy, Mike Pompeo, William Barr, Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, and of course Little Lindsey (I want to play with the big boys) Graham. How easy is it to hide in the dark corners of evil, in the shadows of lies, cowering behind a bloviating bully, so insecure and insincere and insane because your own interiors are like vacant apartments, run-down, ruined and repulsive? Or has it been quite easy, because Trump is exactly the excuse you needed to commit crimes, with the worry of conscience or consequences? Hopefully, American glory will grow again, and your next generation will suffer the shame in which you all swim and squirm.
