You Won't See Me

 “When I call you up, your line's engaged

I have had enough, so act your age
We have lost the time that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won't see me, you won't see me” (‘You Won’t See Me/Lennon & McCartney)

 

The list of must-do's are long right now on Capitol Hill and this is the final stretch in the lame-duck session. Aides on both the Republican and Democratic sides are confident that Congress can pass a spending deal by the December 11 deadline to avert a partial government shutdown, but a stimulus deal is far less certain. And at best, aides argue that all Congress might be able to do is add some stimulus provisions to the already-moving spending bill. Even that is a major lift. (Lauren Fox/CNN)

 

“I don't know why you should want to hide
But I can't get through, my hands are tied
I won't want to stay, I don't have much to say
But I get turned away
And you won't see me, you won't see me” (‘You Won’t See Me/Lennon & McCartney)

 

There was plenty of time to pass tax breaks for the 1%. Loads of time to nominate Right of Center Conservative Judges to fill every possible vacancy left vacant by McConnell during the Obama years. Lots and lots of submissive behavior and dangerous enabling machinations to pretend the 2020 election was fraudulent, fake, and phony, all the while permitting the crazy dude named Don to circumvent and actually destroy democracy. Never a worry to visit a FOX interview or create the ideal environment for Super Spreader COVID-19 Events. But lift a finger or even take a nod at assisting in the control or even containment of the CORONAVIRUS, and to trap all of the entrails like unemployment, poverty, The War-Time Production Act, NOPE, not even on the remotest of radar screen!

 

“Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few, they're filled with tears
And since I lost you, it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long, girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me, you won't see me” (‘You Won’t See Me/Lennon & McCartney)

 

THEY’RE BACK…yep, Moscow Mitch and his traveling band of sniveling ass-licking subservient deviants aka the GOP Senators are back in DC slurping up taxpayer money and providing the least possible leadership they can in return. How the fuck many retained their Royal positions in the Senate and House is mindboggling, their energy to pontificate ignoring the reality of life but encouraging a false narrative is mind-blowing, and their inaction, uncaring proclivity to say nothing, do nothing and be nothing is mind jarring. As the Beatles wrote, “YOU WON’T SEE ME…and they continue to remain blind, deaf, and dumb!
