A few choice words

Considering, nothing but the wishes of Putin, the jealousy that Barack Obama had been nominated for a Noble Peace Prize, and of course lingering in his own delusional darkness, lit in sin by the ever so good ass licking and enabling Republican Party leadership, Trump, jets off to Viet Nam, pretending that his best bud the ex-“Rocket Man”, is seriously considering denuclearization of North Korea. And, any normal American who still maintains his or her sanity is supposed to go along with this charade, this Putin foreign policy, this affront to American democracy. All of THIS, of course, while there is a declared National Emergency on our newly established most dangerous plot of geography our Southern Border! And low and behold, at the same time, suddenly out of thin air, the world witnesses the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, has decided to join the two Authoritarian Loving Goons, Trump and Jong-un and have a “menage a trois”, in Hanoi! Sergey Lavrov is the same ex KGB dude who, along with a few other ex KGB buds spent ALONE time, with Trump in the Oval Office.

And all of this bull shit, all of this sheer indulgence to make Putin a happy man somehow is of no concern to the GOP, who must understand that Putin has a whole of SHIT at the ready to present to the nation regarding everything from money laundering, dark money gifts, prostitution, and God only knows what else on the RNC…And somehow, as an American, I am supposed to respect the office of President, and pretend, Trump and his associates are NOT COMPROMISED, AGENTS…What the fuck America, we must fight back…we are in dire, I meant to say DIRE days of doom.

I have many words for the current state of affairs in which we find ourselves…but I will refer to some Yiddish words my Grandmother and her sisters and cousins, of her generation, would mutter, in hushed tones, when what the fuck was just not good enough, to describe a moron!

Bukes Not a word for polite company. Bubkes or bobkes may be related to the Polish word for “beans”, but it really means “goat droppings” or “horse droppings.” It’s often used by American Jews for “trivial, worthless, useless, a ridiculously small amount” – less than nothing, so to speak. “After all the work I did, I got bupkes!”
gornisht More polite than bupkes, and also implies a strong sense of nothing; used in phrases such as “gornisht helfn” (beyond help).
mishegas Insanity or craziness. A meshugener is a crazy man. If you want to insult someone, you can ask them, ”Does it hurt to be crazy?”

schmuck Often used as an insulting word for a self-made fool, but you shouldn’t use it in polite company at all since it refers to male anatomy.

give me a break

And, as if it never stopped, because IT never had stopped, the disinformation, aimed at the uneducated, those lacking reasoning skills, and Americans most afraid to be found a fraud, a bigot, and a racist, the bad guys are at IT again, with lies that in most normal times would be ridiculed and called ridiculous, but somehow are received with raucous, and irrational wonderment! Now, we are told that at least two candidates for the 2020 presidential nomination, who JUST, BY THE WAY, happen to be people of color are somehow either related to Jussie Smollett or assisted in his perverted attempt to make a larger salary, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, to be exact! We have also been informed that Senator Kirsten Gillibrand financed the entire crazy narcissist episode, in which Jussie Smollett (who the fuck even heard about this guy before he decided to beg for 15 more minutes of fame), and she was well aware of this farce. Then we are told that Senator Amy Klobuchar eats with a comb, never using a fork, and rants and raves that her staff, clean and polish that same comb, so she can, after her meal spruce up and comb her hair…Just a few tidbits of tedious, temptation, from the ranks of the Russian hacks and of course their Republican enablers…and so it goes, because it was never gone, and Trump and his GOP blackmailed enablers have yet to take seriously any or all treasonous activities enacted by Putin and his old KGB buds against Hillary, against the Dems and against Democracy during the 2016 election.

Christopher Paul Hasson, 49, of Silver Spring, Maryland, is alleged to be a white supremacist who had a hit list that included prominent Democratic politicians as well as several journalists from CNN and MSNBC. "The defendant is a domestic terrorist, bent on committing acts dangerous to human life that are intended to affect governmental conduct," prosecutors wrote. CNN). Of course, the White House Press Office, nor the Republican leadership, nor anyone named Trump had much to say about this…but here is the thing, I will NEVER understand… Why do the Dems not play by the same rules as the Trump Republican Cult, and make the same ridiculous claims about those who have espoused their love and gratitude for the White Nationalist Terrorist Movement? Why do the Dems really think that by taking the high road, somehow the GOP will follow? (Sorry Michelle, I do admire you and always will, but enough of this we go high bull shit)

Where are the Facebook articles, insisting that since Trump thinks there are Good Nazi’s and that some of the White Supremacists in Charlottesville Virginia was just your average concerned American citizen, that he, in fact, is either a long lost brother of Christopher Paul Hasson, or the fact that Little Lindsey Graham has spewed his usual annoying rants, maybe Lindsey had a cozy relationship with Christopher Paul Hasson, or why Tucker Carlson, who loves him some White Power pride, was not the one who financially supported the bombs and murder weapons…Imagine, if the Dems used the same inane tactics that the Trump loving GOP embrace…I bet there would be a big difference in the kind of false narrative this nation has become accustomed to and will continue to be smothered by! If Trump can break ALL the rules, isn’t it about time the Dems do the same…give me a break already!

eve of destruction

Another Iraq/Afghanistan Vet, waiting, and waiting, to receive attention from the VA, could wait no more, and after 4 days of attempting to get noticed that he was truly suffering from PTSD, decided to end his life via suicide in his car in the parking lot of a VA facility.  Trump has declared a National Emergency on our Southern Border! There are almost 850,000 Vets alive from the Viet Nam War, many, who were the first to experience Agent Orange, and from the beginning to their exposure to their lives in 2019, have been ravaged by the results of a chemical whose sole purpose was to poison and kill. Many remain homeless, many still suffer the results of PTSD, but not until the Vets returned from Iraq and Afghanistan did the US Government even believe that PTSD was even real. But Trump[ has declared a National Emergency on our Southern Border, Tax cuts for the 1%, and has spread the malaise, via the GOP, that any government intention in the health and welfare of its citizens is a SOCIALIST Act, and that is bad for America! To Make America Great Again, we need the influence of the Russians and their, hidden in the shadows version of god old USSR Communism!

The eastern world, it is explodin',
Violence flarin', bullets loadin',
You're old enough to kill but not for votin',
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin',
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. (Eve of Destruction/P.F. Sloan 1964)

Nineteen suicides have occurred on VA campuses from October 2017 to November 2018 ― seven of them in parking lots, according to data the Washington Post obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Some are worried that this is a gruesome form of protest by veterans to highlight how little help they were given in their time of need by the VA system.

Experts estimate that the total monetary cost for the U.S. — including long-term veterans care — of the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan may eventually total as much as $4 trillion.

73.4 percent of all U.S. veterans have a VA service-connected disability rating.

Almost 5 percent of veterans today were retired from the military before the age of 35. 

Almost 60 percent of veterans who were retired from the military in 2012 due to a service-connected disability were under the age of 35.  

33 = the average age of an enlisted soldier who was retired from the military due to injury or disability in 2012.

Every 65 minutes, a military veteran commits suicide. 

22 military veterans commit suicide every day.

31 percent of these suicides were veterans aged 49 and younger.

Every month nearly 1,000 veterans attempt to take their own lives. That’s more than one attempt every half hour. 

Suicides among active duty personnel almost equal one per day, or 349 per year. 

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
And can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. (Eve of Destruction/P.F. Sloan 1964)

sardonic

“This is an urgent humanitarian (human sex trafficking) issue. My administration is committed to leveraging every resource we have to confront this threat, to support the victims and survivors, and to hold traffickers accountable for their heinous crimes.” Donald Trump/January 9, 2019

A federal judge has ruled that Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta when he was a U.S. attorney in Miami, broke the law in a sex trafficking case against a billionaire New York hedge fund manager by not informing his underage sex victims of a plea agreement.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Mirra on Thursday gave federal prosecutors 15 days to respond to his ruling involving Jeffrey Epstein, who counted such powerful figures as Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Prince Andrew among his friends. Epstein, 66, was accused in 2008 of organizing a network of underage girls to engage in sex acts at his Palm Beach waterfront mansion. Epstein also allegedly enlisted girls to recruit even more victims, some of whom would travel with him on his private jet to New York and his private island resort in the U.S. Virgin Islands. (USA Today)

When Trump was asked about the actions of both his Labor Secretary, Acosta, and Pal Epstein, “I really don’t know too much about it. I know he’s done a great job as labor secretary and that seems like a long time ago,” Trump said. 

Sar·don·ic grimly mocking or cynical. Sar·cas·tic marked by or given to using irony in order to mock or convey contempt. And so it goes, with Trump, nothing unusual or unremarkable, his hypocritical response, when in fact, some white guys with lots of wealth and influence behavior in a most similar manner as Trump. Nothing to see here America, ONLY the bad guys do their darndest to NOT Make America Great by trying to illegally cross at the 8^thWonder of the World the Southern Border of the USA!

So, here is my weary and worn out take on this crime. Whenever a billionaire, pays off the bills, or provides a financial gift, or a bribe, or a loan for Trump/his Crime Family/his Crime Family Businesses…you know like Putin/or the Russian Oligarchs, or Jeffrey Epstein, or makes a deal to keep Trump’s lack of knowledge and moral fortitude a secret, like the Mercer Family/Koch Brothers/Jerry Falwell Jr/Mike (the HUCK) Huckabee...Trump has no problem in speaking out of both sides of his tongue, or twisting his head 360 degrees just to look the other way! One more Cabinet member living in the swamp, and another wealthy donor digging himself his own swamp.  But most MAGA maniacs who can’t see what is front of their eyes due to the thick accumulation of bull shit could actually give a shit!

Bugs

So, a guy, an admitted, and a proud White Nationalist, had an arsenal, and a long list of Democrat elected officials, including the second person in line via the Constitution, to ascend to the office of President, The Speaker of the House Pelosi, as well as people he considered to be a bunch of liberal socialists (we will ALL begin hearing the word SOCIALIST and Democrat in the same sentences or Tweets, so get ready) for whom he had a death wish, and was going to massacre promising that by doing so, he alone could Make America Great Again. 

Then there is a guy named Roger Stone, an arrogant son of a bitch, seeking as many moments of 15 minutes of fame as possible, who produced a picture of a Federal Judge, the exact Judge hearing his case of conspiracy, money laundering, and collusion, with the sign of crosshairs on it, the kind of symbol you look at when you place your weapon on a soon to be murdered victim, and when he was called back into court to explain this aggressive behavior, did the usual cowardly Trump thingie, and blamed someone else for stealing his phone,  making he (Roger Stone look bad. Please Your Honor my humblest of apologies for someone else’s mistake. Stone, understanding the lack of morals and values which haunt Trump, was trying his best to let Putin’s Puppet and Compromised Agent, Donald Trump know that Roger Stone is willing to do anything to Make America Great Again.

Then an editor from some Red Neck village in the Confederate Country of Alabama decided that it’s time for the KKK to do some lynching, just to Make America Great Again. Nothing says God Bless America than a good cross burning and of course a few bodies hanging from the limb of a tall tree. This editor still believes that the South won the Civil War, but the people in Washington need a lesson or two to discover the truth.

And all the while, Trump remains the Commander-In-Chief, Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham protect the Orange Despot, and one has to wonder just how much fucking blackmail and compromised information Putin has on Trump/his Family/his businesses/ and of course the entire Republican Party! If and when (Oh dear God…not Karen or Mike Pence’s God…but the one I believe in), when and IF, Trump is finally found to be the traitor HE is and was, I wonder how many tiny bugs will be found in the entire White House, planted by the Russians and approved by Trump himself…one has to wonder just what exactly is a Top Secret anymore! 

one of these things

Within the past few weeks, three unrelated/related incidents occurred in the United States, unrelated as the accused were three different individuals…related because the common theme was regarding hate, bigotry, and fear.

A U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant and self-described white nationalist planned a domestic terrorist attack targeting politicians and journalists, federal prosecutors say in court papers.

Christopher Paul Hasson was arrested last week on gun and drug charges but intended "to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country," according to court documents filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court in Maryland. (CNN)…The editor and publisher of a small-town newspaper in Alabama wrote one just last week. The editorial, with the shock headline "The Klan Needs to Ride Again," appeared in the February 14 edition of The Democrat-Reporter in Linden, Alabama.

"Time for the Ku Klux Klan to night ride again," begins the editorial, written by Goodloe Sutton. "Democrats in the Republican Party and Democrats are plotting to raise taxes in Alabama."(CNN)… "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett faces a felony charge of disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report claiming two men attacked him last month. Smollett said one of the attackers said, "'This MAGA country, n****r' and he punched me in the face, so I punched his a** back."(CNN)

Of the three disgusting actions, guess which one Trump found the courage to Tweet about, using his tiny fingers and even smaller brain, waking up in the early morning hours (I suppose Adderall is kind of like crack where it just keeps you going, and going and going like the Energizer Bunny) to present to the nation yet one more reason why this man is dangerous and a despot!

Donald J. Trump Jussie Smollet - what about MAGA and the tens of millions of people you insulted with ur racist and dangerous comments!? #MAGA.

Mr. Smollet is a conceded, spoiled brat, unhappy perhaps with the direction of his career. He is a con, using the dangerous snake oil of Racism and Homophobia to pretend that danger lurked in Chicago, for not only black men of color but black men who happen to be Gay. This was a crime, the victim intending to be Mr. Smollet, but in reality victimizing and minimizing, the thousands of real victims racist and homophobic violence! And this bit of news has been blaring all over Cable News, with Talking Heads almost exploding, discussing it.

 But where were the Tweets, the outrage, the exploding Talking Heads regarding the intention of the National Guardsman, Christopher Paul Hasson ( a white guy), or the Editor of the Alabama Newspaper (a white guy) both declaring themselves as White Nationalists whose intended crimes were to self-inflict, but to cause death and destruction to innocent Americans and in particular American politicians…these two perverts and MAGA minions wanted to commit treasonous acts against this nation leading to anarchy! I am so tired of pretending every action is equal! All three individuals are idiots, Mr. Smollet a petulant child, but the Editor of the Alabama newspaper, and the Mr. Hassan dangerous men who in fact have listened closely to the Trump permitting his cult MAGA maggots to murder Journalists and self-perceived POLITICAL enemies of Mr. Trump! 

The Evil

so·cial·ism a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. cap·i·tal·ism an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

prop·a·gan·da information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

So, the new scary word, presented to the average American, is SOCIALISM! A word from the Cold War era, with lots of nightmarish meanings and spooky endings. God Damn It (the same GOD the Evangelicals swear has selected or is the word chosen ) Trump to be in the Oval Office…SOCIALISM will lead to such horrific things a COMMUNISM. (HMM Putin controls Trump, and a select few of the Republican leadership…Putin was the KGB Director of the former Soviet Union…the former Soviet Union bragged about Communism as being the purest form of governing…Trump is a compromised Agent or better Spy for Putin, and Putin still loves his Communist Despot Dictator Ways…there are more Russian Oligarchs entering the country NOT from the Southern Border, paying the GOP leadership, and somehow VIA the Right Wing PROPAGANDA machine, we are told to BE AFRAID, VERY AFRAID, that SOCIALISM is going to replace CAPITALISM!  So, as Ricky Riccardo would often times say to his wife, “Lucy, you got some ‘splaining to do!” If CAPITALISM is the end all, why then has the government controlled the TAX CODE, so that the wealthy pay less, and fewer taxes, while the not so wealthy pay more and more. I kind of consider the mere fact that the Government has decided to keep the wealthy, wealthier, and the poor, poorer, we are experiencing SOCIALISM disguised as the ever virtuous, CAPITALISM! Think about it for a moment. Who controls the TAX LAWS…our fucking government, paid and presented for your consideration by the 1% and the Corporations who, by GOVERNMENT decree are PEOPLE! Hmmmm…

And one more thing: Most people who have ever watched a horror movie, understand that you never run into a dark room, never run to either the basement or the attic, and certainly NEVER run into the garage where lots of sharp, no VERY SHARP tools are hanging…it just makes sense…BUT the GOP and Trump, are almost begging the lemmings who voted for Trump and the GOP to trust them when it comes to taxes. Our Putin puppets (Trump and GOP) are saying don’t pay attention to paying more on your Income Taxes this year (you know the Trump Income Taxes we have yet to see), go into that dark room, that basement, that attic that garage, and trust us, because eventually you WILL see more money in your paycheck…How many times have horror movies shown us never trust the EVIL!

Time Enough at last

"Time Enough at Last" became one of the most famous episodes of the original Twilight Zone and has been frequently parodied since. It is "the story of a man who seeks salvation in the rubble of a ruined world" and tells of Henry Bemis, played by Burgess Meredith who loves books, yet is surrounded by those who would prevent him from reading them. The episode follows Bemis through the post-apocalyptic world, touching on such social issues as anti-intellectualism, the dangers of reliance upon technology, and the difference between aloneness (solitude) and loneliness. For those, who HAVE never watched this episode of the Twilight Zone, the ending is one of frustration, as the character, of Henry Bemis, who NOW can read as many books as he wishes, breaks his glasses, and thus becomes unable to read a single word, as he cannot see anything but a blurred world! (Wikipedia).

Each day, I awake, I first wonder, if somehow the non-blackmailed Republicans have come to their senses and have begun working on the 25^thAmendment, or somehow Trump finally realized that not only will he be in jail, but his most precious of his spawn, Ivanka will also be in jail, so he has taken an Aeroflot to Moscow to live in the confines of the Kremlin. But I reluctantly, and with great promise to Joe, my husband with great patience and understanding, watch only 10 minutes of whatever Talking head is on MSNBC, and realize that yes indeed we are still living in the Twilight Zone, or perhaps better stated, the Trump Zone, and that the democracy of my country has been and IS still being compromised. Each day, I begin to assume, and we all know what assume means, (making as ASS out of U and Me) that Comrade McConnell and Little Light in the Loafers Lindsey Graham are still being blackmailed by Putin and still pretending that Trump is not a Compromised Agent of Russia, so not a fucking thing is being done to remove a treasonous despot from office.

The only bit of almost good news for me, and God knows (the God I believe in, not the one who hates Gays, or women, or people of color), it is just a teeny bit of kind of good news IS, that a few more wanna be’s and MAGA bigots surrounding themselves with Trump/Putin are beginning to let slip more and more truth about all the Trump lies. Or as Trump, the King of the Trump Crime Family would say, the “rats” are leaving the ship.

So, perhaps, like the character Burgess Meredith portrayed in the Twilight Zone episode, “Time Enough at Last”, who thought that nothing at all mattered once he was able to keep the world to himself, America is beginning to see a man without sight, or conscience, or moral, or values, stumble and fall and become nothing more than a useless vessel. Oh please God, please!

your lips, your eyes

“You fooled me, dear, now for a year

My heart you tantalize, but without a doubt

I have out, the secret in your eyes… 

Your lips tell me no no
But there's yes yes in your eyes
I've been missing your kissing just because I wasn't wise
I'll stop my scheming and dreaming 'cuz I realize
Your lips tell me no no
But there's yes yes in your eyes”(“There’s Yes, Yes in Your Eyes/

A Big Band song was written in 1924, by Lester Santly and Cliff Friend)

Rumor has it that the BFF’s Trump and Kim Jong-un, are going to meet once again and that this time both countries are considering developing liaisons to be established between both countries. Still inhabiting in some make-believe world located in Orange Land filtered with tanning booths and pumpkin colored body spray, using the TV screen with shots of anyone FOX as a mirror, emulating either Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham, looking more like Rush Limbaugh, Trump imagines that HE will settle the Korean Conflict, which dates back to 1948, and win a Nobel Peace Prize, and BE the BEST, BEST-EST, BETTER, BETTER-EST President EVER. Trump is following yet another Pie in the face routine that a Headliner (Putin) uses on the Second Banana, the stupid, foolish one (Trump) by having the entire schtick end with a cream pie thrown in the face of the Second Banana. This time THE PIE will be ordered from (Minny, inspired by Alabama-born actress Octavia Spencer, who also plays Minny in the movie The Help ... a chocolate pie that included a special ingredient – Minny's poop.) Most likely the poop will not come from Minny but from an accumulation of thousands of North Koreans held in detention centers, much like the asylum-seeking kids held in cages throughout America) We should ALL note that the last publicity stunt to garner a Nobel Peace Prize by Trump was his first face to face meeting with Kim Jong-un, where in fact, not only were NO secret nuclear bases shut down, but instead two more were discovered, and another one being built!

And then, in America, we have the MAGA men and women, the ones who shouted emails, Benghazi, Liber-Tards, Snowflakes. The OMG there is something called Clean Coal, the Bernie or Bust, the Jill Green likes to dine with Vlad Putin, so she will make a great president, the anyone but Hillary, the South Will Rise Again, the believers in Good Nazi’s, and the Trickle Down Economic, get rich quick folk who once again only had the poop from the wealthy trickle down or was it plop down on them, who now are PISSED that the promise of more refunds would elevate their life of servitude to the likes of lavish living in Trump Tower (more like the living quarters of the undocumented brown skinned workers). And of course the MEXICAN TRUMP WALL, the barrier to keep drugs out of the country like The Sackler Family (the original inventors of OxyContin) out of the country, or murderers out of this country  like, Robert Bowers/Travis Reinking/Nikolas Cruz/Stephen Cruz/Stephen Paddock/Adam Lanza/James Holmes, to name a few or compromised agents of foreign gangs out of this country, like Roger Stone/Paul Manafort/Donald Trump Jr/Jarod Kushner/Michael Cohen/Mitch McConnell/Michael Flynn/Rick Gates to name a few.

There may be yes, yes in your eyes, Mr. Trump, but there is Bull Shit from your lips!   

be my neighbor

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?...(Mr. Rogers)

Sunday, February 17, 2019, the National Emergency has been declared, another abuse of power by the man for whom little background check was ever taken, and word of mouth (HIS), had been the only source of any evidence he was the perfect fit to make America great…AGAIN. We once tried making America great…AGAIN, by refusing 900 Jewish asylum seekers from Germany traveling on the MS St. Louis to enter the USA during the reign of terror by Hitler and the Nazi’s. We once again tried to make America great…AGAIN, by corralling up all of the Japanese Americans during WWII, the internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II was the forced relocation and incarceration in concentration camps in the western interior of the country of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, most of whom lived on the Pacific coast. We tried to make AMERICA great yet another time when on the first day of term, the national guard was there to stop the nine entering Central High, in Little Rock Arkansas where all 1,900 attendees were white. Three weeks later, on 25 September, the group braved a hostile white crowd, climbed the school steps and were escorted to class by US army troops. They became known and revered as the Little Rock Nine…From the murders of the Indigenous people of North America, to the indignation of the Southern Slave owners to remove slaves from their possession, to the lynching of Negro’s, to the signs on property stating No Blacks, No Jews, No Catholics and No Dogs on all white neighborhood lawns, to the questioning of are you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party, to the sheer homophobic arrogance of President Nancy Reagan and her First husband Ronnie, in ignoring the HIV/AIDS crisis…we have always tried our best to make America great…AGAIN, and AGAIN!

I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. (Mr. Rogers)

Sunday morning, February 17, 2019, LA’s winter storms filled with, rain, rain, and more rain have moved east and the skies of this city, after a storm, showcasing a collection blue hue brilliant and bright welcomed those of us who find mornings a little more magical filled with less mystery and mayhem. Walking, my dog Chance, taking a new zig-zag route (Chance is always seeking the finest of dog pee aromas, and will go to great lengths to sniff than pee over them), I discovered new ways America had been made great…AGAIN. Huddled under a tarp and a  few blankets of thin cotton was a person, who one shoe was off and the other used as a pillow. Two young kids were packing up their sleeping bags, and a collection of blue plastic bags. An older lady was having an argument with, I suppose her lover, the imaginary kind, and apparently, he had jilted her, for someone younger, as this lady was screaming that he was a fucking pervert for liking young girls. A man bent halfway over feet dangling from one of those multipurpose black trash bins, next to him on the ground, two black bags bulging with the shapes of plastic bottles of water or maybe it was Gatorade.

On this continued National Emergency, Trump is still playing golf at Mar-A-Lago…Talking heads all coiffed and dressed in the let's bull shit a bit more suits and dresses were looking well rested on the sets of every imaginable cable News show…Members of both Houses of Congress had no worries about paying their bills, while Federal Contract Employees are without enough money to pay their mortgage, or rent, or food, or health insurance… “It's such a good feeling, to know you're alive. It's such a happy feeling;
You're growing inside. And when you wake up ready to say:
I think I'll make a snappy new day. It's such a good feeling, A very good feeling.”(Mr. Rogers)

such silence

Hey Maine, Susie Collins was pouty and gave her most insincere, sincere Aunt Bea interview before Trump announced his National Emergency…have you heard her since then???? Hey Florida, Little Marco, huffed and puffed regarding even the remote possibility that Trump would declare a National Emergency, that was then, and this is now, and Little Marco, the master of speaking out of both sides of his mouth has remained silent, since the declaration. But then again you re-elected him after he lifted his hind leg and peed all over your state! Hey Wisconsin, Ron Johnson, all full of bravado, after being hacked into office by the Russians in 2016, was adamant that if Trump declared a National Emergency regarding his Trump Wall, that Senator Johnson would raise Holy Hell, so far Johnson’s silence is deafening! And hey North Carolina, one of the most gerrymandered states in the union, your Senator Tillis, went on TV to argue that any declaration of a National Emergency by Trump would meet with great opposition, except, now that the Emergency has been declared, your Senator Tillis, is quiet, I suppose “mum is the word.”

Bull shit, bull crap, and placating Putin seems to be the only responses from the Republican Party, as Trump burns down any remaining form of Democracy left in this nation…Don’t you just love how brave Senators like Collins, Rubio, Johnson, and Tillis are before Trump acts like a dictator…and once Trump farts out a speech about HIS ideas, and HIS authoritarian form of governing, all of the Republicans who pretend to have a backbone remain silent…And we ALL know silence equals death!

They had it coming

They had it coming (they had it coming)
They had it coming (they had it coming)
They had it coming all along
I didn't do it But if I'd done it
How could you tell me that I was wrong? (‘Cell Block Tango/Fred Ebb)

Most of the time, with squinty eyes so small that one might wonder if any light at all could penetrate the dark black hole Satan iris’s, locked inside the eye socket, with a mouth shaped as if only a wad of toilet paper could fit into that oval-shaped slot, used to clear away any excess bull shit, turning his head as if some of the metal pieces Dr. Frankenstein, had loosely positioned under his neck had rotted or rusted, with flailing hands, attached to a not so taught and tied set of strings; Trump huffs and puffs and pretends that HIS world, the one which only can be found in the Twilight Zone, or the pathetic world of a neurotic and pathological liar, and pontificates proudly. But today, Friday, February 14, 2019, announcing a National Emergency, Trump was overtly more unhinged, than most other times, in speaking with the press. This was no MAGA rally, and the level of stupid was held at a minimum…and that scared Trump, a whole lot.

One must listen closely to this narcissistic Neanderthal, because, he is so enamored with the imaginary powers he ALWAYS, provides the details of what really bothers him, or what really sends shivers of fear up and down what used to be a spine, but is now nothing but the arm of Putin, using Trump’s body as a hand puppet. Trump said he could have waited for more time to build the wall, but he needed to start NOW, why…easy, Sean Hannity complained on his FOX propaganda hour, Ann Coulter called Trump a loser, worse than Jeb Bush, and the FOX and Friends had hissy fits. Trump glowed a little and then went on to say that his decision to override the provisions of the Constitution to build his Trump Wall had nothing to do with the 2020 election, were in fact his admittance that, HE felt faint of heart that his minions of maggots,(oops I mean MAGA’s) might not vote for him in 2020, and in a usual Trumpian manner, he bragged, a sweat poured down to his tiny hands, that the Dems really had no chance in 2020 anyway.

Lies, inaccurate facts, fear, phobia, prose written by such racists as Stephen Miller, such self-proclaimed genius’s and purveyors of laundered money, like Prince Jared and of course the ever venomous and paranoid John Bolton, fell out of the Oval Shaped Orifice of the Orange Dictator. And oh yeah, for you “we love our Troops so God Bless America” Republicans, the Trump Wall money will be coming from the Department of Defense, so fuck Vet health care, more beds in the Vet hospitals, and of course any more funding for the Vets mental health care! And the bonus was the introduction of William Barr, the new AG. In introducing Barr, Trump actually did smile, because, Trump also gave away another secret…that being that the newest Con in Trumps Cabinet of Clowns and Cons is gonna’ do his best to remove Mueller and make the madman, Trump remains King!

They had it coming (they had it coming)
They had it coming (they had it coming)
They had it coming all along (they took a flower in its prime)
I didn't do it (and then they used it)
But if I'd done it How could you tell me That I was wrong? (‘Cell Block Tango/Fred Ebb)

little boy, little girl

“Is this the little girl I carried? Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older When did, they?
When did she get to be a beauty? When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they, were, small?” (Sunrise, Sunset-Sheldon Harnick)

The name “Parkland” has become a shorthand for the tragedy that many hoped would mark the beginning of the end of school massacres. But ask the survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in more quiet moments about the awful year since last Feb. 14, and they tell you a different, more personal story. About innocence lost. Dreams undone. Grief delayed. (New York Times)

The House Judiciary Committee passed a measure Wednesday that would require background checks for all gun sales and most gun transfers within the United States, the most significant gun-control legislation to advance this far in Congress in years. The committee spent more than nine hours debating the bill before voting 21 to 14 to advance it Wednesday night. Next, it will face a vote on the House floor. The measure was among the first actions taken by the newly elected Democratic majority, which pledged to make gun control a top issue. The bill also has the support of at least five Republicans, a rare feat given the issue often has cleaved along party lines. The committee also voted 23 to 15 to advance a bill that would close a loophole in the current background-check law that allows a gun purchase if a check is not completed in three days. (Washington Post)

14 and then 15 Republicans continued to vote no on this bill, a mere ripple in the deep dark depths of gun violence and murder in this nation. The same 14 or 15 GOP, however, will tell you that a zygote has the right to a lawyer, that a fetus should have its day in court. The same 14 or 15, will explain that the orphaned kids at the Southern Border, separated from their families, caged, some tortured deserved the punishment because seeking asylum for a better life, is not a good enough excuse to seek refuge into America. The 14 or 15 GOP MAGA maniacs will look the other way as Puerto Rican families are still without the necessary food and shelter to live a healthy life. The 14 or 15 will insist that Jesus never intended on affordable health care. And ask the 14 or 15 about the ongoing lead poisoning of the water in Flint and how many children will grow with diseases so avoidable, they will shrug and say that was so yesterday! Then ask the 14 or 15 about the Vice Presidents wife, Karen, working in a school which discriminates against LGBTQ youth and they will laugh, and tell you to mind your own business.

How does one ever stop mourning the loss of a loved one, especially, that little girl you carried and that little boy at play?

A rose IS not a rose

Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
Loveliness extreme…The line is from Gertrude Stein's poem Sacred Emily, written in 1913 and published in 1922. When asked what she meant by the line, Stein said that in the time of Homer, or of Chaucer, "the poet could use the name of the thing and the thing was really there." As memory took it over, the thing lost its identity, and she was trying to recover that!

But nowadays, a rose is not a rose, IS not a rose…when black men wearing hoodies collect identifying themselves as members of Black Lives Matter, they are called THUGS, dangerous degenerates, a group to be feared, a group whose only purpose is to disrupt and disturb our democracy…when white men wearing red hats with the letters M-A-G-A printed on the brim, and they attack journalists/threaten reporters/and chant “lock her up”, they are considered just harmless dudes, who might have had a bit too much to drink at the time, and we are to placate and appreciate their homegrown patriotism.

When a same-sex couple wants to adopt a child, raise the child in a loving home, provide an orphaned, or unwanted child a place of safety and security, the American Taliban, I mean the American Christian Crusaders become catatonic, decry the audacity, become belligerent, berating and bemoaning that any kind of love can or will ever come from parents both of the same sex…but silence, which is golden to the American Taliban when it comes to protecting opposite-sex couples, is so deafening, not a word about adulterous parents, thieves, con artists, fathers teaching their offspring to lie and cheat, mothers whose own selfish endeavors include permitting family units to be torn apart, children to be caged, and permitting many children to rot in foster care.

Fact is no longer a permissible argument. If the truth is not suitable for a criminal behavior, then it must be a phony argument, used to defame, used to undermine, used as a debate as to what is true anyway, at least if you are a Republican politician, or a Corporation given the unlikely birth certificate by a biased Supreme Court, announcing that you are a person. The Democrats use facts, but they are the Enemy of the State because all they want to do is insist that Trump is an illegitimate and illegal President. The Constitution is only valid if it is breached if it is permitted to stand for some kind of foundation of morals and values, it is only a piece of paper. If it is used to allow bias and bigotry to pervade the American landscape, because it suits the purposes of the GOP, and its ultra-wealthy donors, who provide green money as well as dark money, then not only is the CONSTITUTION a wondrous document, it actually was signed and sealed by General Jesus Christ himself.

We, as a nation still debate if Trump was compromised, after almost a dozen felony charges against the gang of goon working for him. We as a nation are to overlook, that Jared Kushner can’t get his stories straight and still doesn’t have a real security clearance, yet he and his Princess wife Ivanka have privy to the most private of American Governmental details. And we are supposed to look the other way when Trump has private conversations with Putin, or when he still hasn’t reported to the public regarding the details of the death of Jamal Khashoggi, or when the entire idea of the emolument’s clause is ignored by the Trump Crime Family, or when the people of Puerto Rico are still suffering from the lack of concern by anyone Trump.

And then we are told there is a crisis at the Southern Border, drugs, rapists, bad people, very bad people crossing over…at the same time NOT from the Southern Border, the Sackler Family developed Oxycontin with the intention of permitting stronger and stronger doses to be prescribed, NOT from the Southern Border, the Russians/Ukrainians/and Saudi’s fly into New York City, or Mar-A-Lago, Florida or Washington DC, and a bunch of white guys shoots up schools, universities, parks, plaza’s, movie theaters, most not located at the Southern Border. So, I say again, a Rose IS not a Rose, ever again!

meanwhile

A 2020 Trump/Pence rally was held in El Paso, on Monday evening, under the guise of an important outreach toward the city of El Paso city based on factless propaganda to bolster the ego of a narcissist, and pathological liar, and to build a fire for bigots who will use any excuse to hate. The truth was never told, lies were scattered like the leaves of an Oak tree during the winds of an autumn storm, and the minions of MAGA morons gleefully absorbed each and every carefully crafted bit of bullshit. One MAGA maniac was so moved by the rotten rhetoric spewing from the anal shaped lips of Trump, that he decided to cold punch a BBC videographer from behind, demonstrating just what a coward he, the MAGA moron was and just how insidious, and sinister Trump’s intentions toward the freedoms of America really are.

DTJ (also known as Beevus or Donald Jr.) introduced his Russian Compromised Agent father, by trying to belittle and bully the Teaching Professionals, stating how those stupid teachers have no respect for true Conservative thought. DTJ, a friend of many a despot, and recipient of mucho Oligarchical blackmail money, the guy who was raised on greed, gluttony, and a father who had an adulterous affair while married to his mother, the guy who though S&L, was Saturday Night Live, and who finds stealing from Charity designated toward children with Cancer, lucky enough to be born after his father, but unlucky enough just to be a Trump, has no idea of the meaning of Conservatism, nor does he have an inkling of the definition of democracy! Because, to date, anyone trump has gotten away with high crimes and misdemeanors, money laundering and tax evasion, little DTJ, all cocky and full of himself, had himself a good ole’ time pretending that he is a Prince. (Little does DTJ understand that Princess Ivanka and HER PRINCE, Jerod, are the true Children of the Corn)

And all the while THAT was happening, the Media was busy discussing on the many ways the females from the Democrat Party, running for president, have, not eaten chicken with their fingers, been nasty to their personal staff, are too cold emotionally to attract a good vibe from the crowd, or are just not masculine enough to carry the weight of the office of Commander-In-Chief! Oh dear God, nothing but bull shit always seems to be the priority, for the news industry. Kind of makes you weary and makes me worry!

sometimes why

So, I woke up, early today, bright and early, decided that THIS would be the one day I did not first, turn on the television. I usually do so, watching snippets of the news, hoping to find a lengthy Breaking News story that Trump has been carted off to prison, or flown to Moscow on Aeroflot Airlines, and that Princess Ivanka and Prince Jerod have been thrown in jail or that Mitch McConnell finally is under subpoena by Mueller. Last night Joe and I had a long conversation (Karen Pence, Joe is my same-sex husband, and we do have same-sex SEX), regarding this dark cloud of doubt, dubious depression, and despair which has taken over my mental health ever since Trump was hacked into office. I must admit I am  Gerry Buncher, and I am a News Addict…I have been overwhelmed not only that Putin was able to declare war on the United States, has been enabled and supported by the Republican Party and a band of Evangelical Christian Crusaders, but even more so that EVIL, sheer unmitigated EVIL has indeed taken hold on our nation, and its roots are now so deep that I wonder IF it will ever be removed. (Mold and Mildew, are health hazards, so much so, that when there is an attempt to remove them, most people must leave their homes and the workmen and women removing the disgusting poisonous piles of rot must wear hazmat suits…Trump and his Crime Family and ALL of his MAGA minions are just as hazardous to America’s health)

So, back to my original rant, I tried very hard to NOT even give MSNBC a second of my time. But I cheated, I fell off the wagon, and for three minutes…I swear only three minutes, my hand held the remote, I slid my fingers to MSNBC, found Andrea Mitchell, talking to three reporters, all of them discussing the fact that in FACT, another Government shutdown may happen on Friday…and THEN, honest to God, I hit the off button, threw the remote, scared our dog Chance, apologized to Joe, and went to the gym!

But here is the thing that happened next…It is about 1.3 miles from my home to the gym…as I trudged along Melrose then La Cienega, I passed a man lying on his side in the parking lot of a 5-star restaurant…a woman with three plastic bags filled so tightly that it almost looked like tiny hands was trying to break through, she was covered in a layer of soot…a few feet away another woman was bending over a large metal waste container, picking up half-filled plastic cups and drinking the contents…one man held a sign that said he was a Viet Nam Veteran and needs food, there was a long thin wet line traveling from his crotch to the sidewalk…Right before I got to the gym, a very thin man, I know this, as all he had on was a pair of shorts and a scarf, this man was having an argument with an invisible friend (I know it was his friend, because as this man was swearing, he would stop and tell his friend, how much he loved him, but then pick up on the same argument about stealing his drugs)…I got to the gym, and stopped, stood, took a deep breath, wondered what is living a life about, and whose life is the life worth living…

I worked out, grateful I could, glad I had Silver Sneakers to pay for my gym fees. I played the best of the Mama’s and Papa’s threw in a few Elton John songs, and let the stress flow from my body. As I left the gym, I thought, do any of the people I witnessed living their life along the way, even know that we have a fucked up mentally ill man and a cadre of Communist comrades running our government…and do the people whose lives seemed so desperate and full of despair to me, even know that perhaps their reality is just the same as those governing the United States of America…I walked home, it was near noon, saw no one sleeping on the sidewalks, urinating, or digging in the garbage…but I felt sad, VERY sad, and honestly could only look up into the sky and ask my God, WHY!

2020, huh!

There are at least two dozen individuals who have announced or are about to announce their ambition to become the Democrat Party nominee for the office of President. God only knows by this time next week we may have at least a dozen more. Already, the goblins and the Talking Heads, and the naysayers, and the 15 minute of fame seekers, the “I am only sharing this in a confidential manner, the I used to work for he or she, the GOP backstabbers, the Republican hypocrites, the Conservative Christian Crusaders full of Christian hypocrisy, the Bernie or Bust, the Progressives, the Middle of the Roader’s, they are all the same, and of course the cable stars and starlets…have made it abundantly clear that whoever it is that wants to run for lead the Democrat Ticket for the office of President in 2020, will, no I suppose the correct word is MUST go through a scrutiny of the most mundane, malicious, manufactured, maniacal machinations, that will not only dismember, but divide, destroy and disembody each and every potential candidate…And all the while this NEWEST sideshow begins, the Circus tent is still in place at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, with the Ringmaster and his band of Side Show Freaks still performing, all still exiting that clown car, with the audience wondering just how many Compromised Agents can fit inside a LADA (A popular Russian manufactured car), without EVER going to jail.

Roe Vs Wade is being dismantled/a possible second in a month government shut down looms large/Clarence Thomas (another sitting on the Supreme Court, like his dude white friend Brett Kavanaugh who really finds women boy’s toys) has decided that states can decide upon an official religion/more blackface politicians lament their youth/taxes go down for the wealthy while refunds dry up for the poor/State Secrets are still being handed over to Oligarchs via the Commander-In-Chief and his wanna be Prince son in law Sir Jared/Troops are being sent to a newly identified area of this nation called the Southern Border, as they are being shipped home from Syria and Iraq/Ivanka is supposedly the new voice for women and children all the while ignoring the caged/murdered/ and orphaned children and distraught women of brown skin tone/an acting AG lies under oath and then celebrates in the Trump Hotel, still run by Trump who supposedly by law should not be involved/voting rights are still being denied/and GOP Congress people do not want to talk about domestic terrorism or murder by white folk and want to kick out of public meetings parents who have suffered the loss of their loved ones because the NRA, now another compromised agent of the Russians has paid lots of dark money to make sure the criminals stay in charge of the law! Just to mention a few things happening…

But, as if there will actually be an election day in November 2020…as if Trump will not stop breaking every law possible until he dismantles the entire foundation of this nation…as if the GOP will EVER start to accept their responsibilities as an equal branch of government…as if the election of 2016 was just a whim, a hitch, a hacked mistake…as if the reality of a tyrant, an incompetent, criminal, IS still permitted to erase environmental protections/health and welfare protections…as if every bit of evidence proving that Trump IS an agent of a foreign enemy IS NOT SCREAMING look at me…these two to three dozen Democrat wanna be President persist in running for office, causing more rips and holes within the Democrat party, and moving our eyes, ears and most importantly attention away from the REAL DEAL, which is the removal or impeachment or incarceration of Trump and his entire Crime Family/Crime Business/and Crime Administration.

Maybe, for once it might be nice if ALL the Democrat candidates coalesced as one and held a public meeting stating the one thing we ALL should have in common, which is bringing back democracy to this nation and fighting the real enemy Trump in a unified manner. How dare we consider who thinks they will run for President in 2020 when in fact in 2019 a despot remains in power, being led by an amazingly intelligent and manipulative dictator!  

Nationalism My Ass

Candace Owens (born April 29, 1989)^[1] is an American Conservative commentator and political activist. She is known for her pro-Trumpstance and her criticism of Black Lives Matter and of the Democratic Party, She is the Director of Communications at the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA.

“I actually don’t have any problems at all with the word ‘nationalism’,” Owens said. “I think that the definition gets poisoned by elitists that actually want globalism. Globalism is what I don’t want… Whenever we say nationalism, the first thing people think about, at least in America, is Hitler.

“He was a national socialist,” she continued. “But if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine. The problem is that he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize. He wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German. Everybody to look a different way. To me, that’s not nationalism. In thinking about how we could go bad down the line, I don’t really have an issue with nationalism. I really don’t.” (BuzzFeed)

The sheer stupidity of those who indulge in trying to engage the conversation as if THEY were intelligent, defining for the mediocre minions, the REAL problems of the world…no longer amazes me, but dismays me and fills my heart and soul with deep dark depression. Ms. Owens is nothing but an anti-Semite, using some form of gibberish to try and disguise her own prejudice and total lack of knowledge regarding Nationalism/Hate/Bigotry and deciding that an authoritarian despot, CAN be cool, if he or she ONLY contains his or her dictatorial admonishment of the conceived others, within their own borders and boundaries. Candace Owens IS not a household name, but in the land of FOX/Christian Evangelical Crusaders/and the current crop of blackmailed or recipients of laundered money from Russian Oligarchs within the Republican Party, Candace Owens is as important as Laura Ingraham, and the once-beloved Ann Coulter! To follow Ms. Owens confused state of hate would be to the state, had the South just been able to maintain their own nationalism in the Confederate States would have been fine, and slavery would have been nobody’s business, but Robert E. Lee!

America has a dangerous man hacked into office, and acting as an agent for an enemy state, he has no idea of the term nationalism, but some even more devious degenerates whispering in his ear, offering him gold trinkets and shiny objects have convinced Trump that “Them Vs Us”, is a great way to cast confusion and disrupt the democracy within the US. On Friday, February 8, 2019, we witnessed Mathew Whitaker (acting AG), smug, and sinister, define nationalism in action…his disregard for law and order, his contempt that anyone but the King named Trump, should rule this nation, and his own greed and gluttonous yearnings for power…showcased, how WRONG, how terribly wrong nationalism can be…lets just call this entire Trump debacle what it is, a chance for Putin to place in office a lackey who wants to be Emperor of America. And to you Candace Owens, imagine, walking down the streets of a town in Mississippi or Alabama, dressed in your conservative attire, and then wonder what all the MAGA hat wearing white folk wonder…it’s their backwoods town, and it is kind of local nationalistic domain…only fair they play by their rules…what do you think?

The Strain

I love science fiction, I adore stories about creatures and monsters, and I am always comforted that while I am enthralled with movies about zombies and the “end of the world possibilities,” knowing that none of it is real, that at the end of the day, all of what I just watched IS just some writer’s imagination put to film or video. Phew…at least for that moment, no zombies in my house and no need to wear a hazmat suit just to take a walk outside…

But then, today, I was reminded twice about the real fact that weird and bizarre creatures do exist, and in fact are alive and well, mostly in the District of Columbia! There was a TV series I started watching a few years ago called The Strain, (Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, the head of the CDC's New York-based Canary Project, is called upon to investigate when an airplane lands with everybody on board dead. What his team discovers is a viral outbreak that has similarities to an ancient strain of vampirism. As the virus begins to spread, Goodweather works with his team and a group of the city's residents to wage a war that could hold humanity's fate in its hand.) Today in front of cameras, and under oath (as if that matters any more in the immoral world of anyone Trump), the acting Attorney General for the US, Mathew Whitaker, presented himself, as nothing more than a turd, dropped from the anal opening of an Orange Vampire, slimy, sloppy and full of shit. His condescending answers to a simple yes or no question always began with the smirk comment “well thank you for that question”, and always ended with the Congress Person telling Mr.  Whitaker, you haven’t answered a simple yes or no question. I can never understand how or why a simple YES or NO answer seems so difficult for anyone in association with the Trump Crime Family and Trump Crime Administration! It seems, like the ancient Vampire of the TV series The Strain, who, using his tentacles to enter the brain of his victims, Trump has once again turned an already douchebag person into a nasty son of a bitch, the guy WHO, until a week or two from now IS supposedly THE GUY representing the laws of this nation.

But just like Mr. (I could give one fuck about this country, as my only loyalty is to Mien Heir Trump), it seems the Orange Vampire has continued to infect another bogus, bull shit artist…David Pecker of AMI and most notably The National Enquirer, who even with a warning from the Special Prosecutors office to NOT COMMIT ANY CRIMES FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS, has had his henchmen try and blackmail and extort Jeff Bezos…hoping to stop him from linking any illegal acts committed by AMI, to either the Trump Crime Family and Trump Crime Administration, but also to the murderous regime of the Saudi Government, especially the Jared Kushner of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman (The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is the second most important position in Saudi Arabia, second to the King, and is his designated successor.) The Trump tentacles are long, arrogant, ignorant, and riddled with the disease of bullying and bogus. In one day, I discovered, that all the monsters are NOT just written for TV or the movies, but in fact live and thrive and originate from one key source and ORANGE, BLOB, residing in The White House…now that is really scary!

   

Scary Words

New Scary Words: Way back in the …one day I was in an antique store and the dapper lady dressed in a very plaid skirt, the salesperson, with a with  blouse with a cute white bow adorning the front of her tailored  blouse and high knee socks, leading down to her Papagallo shoes, looking like the photos of the girls in my graduating class Yearbook, extended her hand and said welcome to the Mid Century Antique Store…we have items from those grand old days of the 1950’ and 1960s. Fuck, I thought to myself, I was born in 1949, and graduated high school in 1967, I am a Mid-Century Man…OY!...but I digress… back in the  Mid Century, there were Scary Words, they sounded like this…”Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party”…once those Scary Words were spoken, the recipient of those words understood during that time period, he or she, was in great trouble, because, a Republican Senator from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy with absolutely no kickback from anyone in the Federal Government, decided he needed an Enemy of the State, and the Scary Word he would use to define, the Enemy of the State was a Communist, or as they used to say, some more Scary Words…”I’d rather be DEAD than a RED…

Times have changed, and with the advent and nurturing, blackmailing, and payoffs, the laundering of money for the Trump Businesses and the Trump Crime Family, being a Red is not being Dead, it is, in fact, the new Republican Party, the new Confederacy, and the new path to destruction of democracy…we see that we know that…and yet even with our supposed “check and balances”, we have not stopped the Red tide. But once again I digress because…

The Newest Scary Words, used NOW, by the GOP, is a simple phrase, that does relate to the 1970s, it is called The Socialist Manifesto…Very SCCCCCCARRRRY Words, reminiscent of Cuba and Castro, the North Viet Nemeses and Ho Chi Minh, the Russians in East Germany…Socialism a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. (in Marxist theory) a transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of Communism.

The wealth divide in this nation has grown further and further, wider and wider, and with the all of the new Tax Laws and the contemplation of even more perks for the very wealthy, the divide is growing at such a rate that it seems nothing can or will lessen it. (And now Mick Mulvaney, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Tea Party guy, who insisted that the Devil is a Deficit)is using his other side of his Republican Hypocritical Mouth to say “MEH, Deficit, Mef-Acit). The Dems, now in power in the House, a new breed of Dems, disagree and want to make a America not great again, but affordable, greener, healthier, and a bit more fair on the playing field. (The latest terror now realized by the GOP is that their much-touted Tax Plan is leaving the average taxpayer with no refund and in fact a payment due of more money due to the Government) So NOW, instead of the Republicans using the SCARY WORDS of the Mid Century of “Are you now or have you ever been a Member of the Communist Party”, they are throwing out their updated SCARY WORDS: The Dems have a Socialist Manifesto, and the end of the world is neighed! Get ready America, because now, chumming up to Communists like Putin and his slaves the billionaire Oligarchs is cool, but an original ideal from the Founder of the Communist philosophy, Marx Socialism is now a really scary word. Look around, America, the government already determines much of our lives, food safety, at one-time environmental safety, standards and practices in medicine, public schools, etc, etc…but Evil Doers need a scapegoat to hide behind, and the newest Scary Words will be Socialist Manifesto)
