How America Destroyed the World

America's destructive capabilities reached their final form in the melding of money and ignorance under Bush. The legacy was the near collapse of the world economic system and the catastrophe of Iraq and the Middle East. America cut its teeth by informing Hitler's racism and causing the Great Depression which enabled Hitler's takeover of Germany. 

Money and racism are America's evil. America was not a nation of evil people but the evil elements, a laissez-faire wealthy class with no social conscience and southern racists, were able to seize power. The world got drug along in differing degrees. Global warming knows no bounds. Neoliberalism infects other societies. America is destroying the world. 

The world will survive. The American way of reckless waste and compulsive living will not. By its nature it's a boom and bust system. 

Evangelical Evil

I'm hard on evangelicals. I know some aren't personally evil. They can still be socially evil. That counts. Anyone who supports Trump's regime is evil. Racism is so toxic to the human soul southerners handed it off. Firstly to violent types. Enforcers. Thugs. Assholes. Goons. Like the Klan. Like ICE.

Secondly, white southerners walled it off internally. 

They walled it off in their heads so they could do evil and not feel evil, good Germans with flimsier excuses. Yeah, we're not killing Jews by the millions, Germans could more plausibly believe than evangelicals can believe that Trump isn't a monster. Evangelicals have got to have their Klan. 

Trump is a monster. Yeah, evangelicals feel they're not evil and that Trump isn't. He is. Vought and Miller are murderers and genocidal maniacs. But evangelicals go to church. Merrily they roll along. They have no excuse, not in our information environment. They know. They don't care. They like it. 

Voting for Trump is enough. Their votes reveal them as evil. 

Trump Shits Himself at the U.N.

F.B.I. is hacked. Nothing to see here. Everything going to plan. Make America Great Again. 

Biltmore Girls

Republican women and the wive's club don't deserve anything. They chose privilege. The flip side of privilege is getting screwed. That's what they deserve when the regime of privilege ends. No pity. No understanding. No more freeloading. Let them keep their money and positions?  No, because they screwed their fellow citizens when they could. Fuck them. They'll try to get off the hook because they're women, appealing to chivalry. Fuck that. 

The Society We Deserve

The society we deserve is always ahead of us, even in times of crisis. What we live in is partly determined by inheritance. Corruption catches up with you, though. The Trump reckoning is coming. It will be a doozy. 

Should We Let Them Scurry?

The Republican members of Congress have to answer for their crimes this time. They know it. Why else would they be willing to undermine and throw elections to stay in power?

We have to be committed to putting them in jail. Conveniently they have provided the jails. I anticipate scurrying, that they will try to get away. It's consistent with their character. 

They probably think their billionaire friends will save them and provide them with yachts and private islands to scurry to. Do they even know those people? The congressmen will have lost their utility.

They were tools. But they'll scurry somewhere if they're not so far gone they don't even know they're complete degenerates and criminals. They amass their own fortunes for this reason.

Because they aspire to impunity. We'll face a decision. Do we let them go, let them go but take their money or put them in jail? I'm not a punitive person but they're killers. I say jail.

Bromance Languages

Republicans have a kind of dialect and jargon rooted in racist innuendo and exclusion. In places it is virtually patois, vernacular speech associated with a subclass that, in this case, has embraced its outré beliefs as a badge of honor as they fight for a return to an extreme, authoritarian form of patriarchy. 

They are proud to be outcasts though they are hardwired into the seats of power so I think it's the persecutory delusions common to nutcases and seen in cults that encourage tribal identification and isolationist ideation. Which is to say they're incredibly fucked up and living in a demented dream state.

Counter-Cyclical Investment

Donald Trump and his cynical, malicious Republican enablers are declaring America morally bankrupt and insolvent. Their America is a nation of pigs, profiteers and murderers. More than that, they're asserting there is no morality, no right or wrong. 

I say to them, fuck you to hell. This vile administration relishes hurting people. That, on a par with making money, something they absolutely love, off their public positions in violation of the nation's trust. I propose a movement of moral counter-investment. 

Investment in what is good, right, kind and generous. The market in America’s decency is lower, a time to invest.

Your Intrepid Reporter

Not intrepid enough for me. I want to see one of the reporters Trump insults call him out tell him to his face what a loser and piece of garbage he is. Yell it at him.

Dysorientation

Dysorientation isn't confusion. Quite the opposite. It's a focus. An orientation toward evil. The loving of evil, doing of evil, and encouraging of evil and discord. Evil is their North Star. 

Maybe 'malorientation' works better, I don't know, but we're only trying to describe something and trying to understand it, the incomprehensible evil of the Donald J. Trump administration. 

What the fuck is wrong with these people. 

Buys You Shit

What does having a ton of money get you? It doesn't get you shit. Or it does get you shit. Nothing you need. It gets you feelings of superiority. Can-do. Isolates you. 

Permeates everything and taints every relationship. Makes you inhuman. Maybe some people want that. Or they were inhuman already. Money will not make you happy. 

Probably mess you up. So, why bother. 

Unless feeling better than everyone makes you happy. In which case you're sick. Social costs are the nail in the coffin of wealth. The super-rich are parasites. They are takers. 

Shamu

Trump is big. And he bites. 

Due Dalliance

Most Democrats are doing their due dalliance instead of attacking the shit out of Trump who is destroying the country and getting people killed. What are they waiting for and what does it take? 

Let Go of His Legos

Donnie Trump's building projects are his LEGOs. He's just playing. Be careful what toys you give him to play with. He's a malicious and destructive brat. And a grasping little shit.

If You Want to Change the Law

If you want to change the law change the fucking law. Don't make shit up. Originalism is a smokescreen. Don't hew away at the scope and context until it allows the outcome or interpretation you wanted. 

Acts of the Imposters

Trump and his administration are pretenders and parasites. Everything they do is invalid. 'Head Malignancy Officer' and 'Czar of Corrupt Activities' aren't jobs and raping and pillaging duties. They refuse to do their jobs. They are imposters and rebels. Their evil works must be undone and the perps and killers put in jail.

Live from the Pit of Hell

Trump, the world's most fragile man, banned a couple of reporters for hurting his feelings. Pete Hegseth, ever watchful of Donald's moods, bombed a boat in the Caribbean knowing a new snuff film would raise the sovereign’s spirits, Iran being an inconvenient target because they're so unpredictable. Also they're kicking America's ass. Defenseless fishermen are no problem.

Worst Person Ever. Worst People Ever.

Trump didn't become president in spite of being a raging piece of shit but because of it. Congressional Republicans choose to support him. Every day they do nothing to stop him.

If they don't see the damage it's damning. If they do it's damning. Desperate to avoid accountability, they will cheat to stay in office, which is a crime. A crime on top of all the others.

The Moral Superiority of Trump

Reactionary Calvinists don't believe good works get you into heaven. And they're belligerent extremists. They overcompensate. Good works keep you out of heaven. Salvation is arbitrarily determined by God. You might be fucked from birth. 

Which drives them nuts so they decide you can know if you're saved. They determine their own salvation by divination, apparently, which seems fucked up to me. But they're saved, permanently and irreversibly. No take-backs. They persevere in salvation. . 

As opposed to us. Therefore, a person who is saved, as known by obscure means, and obviously never done a good work in his life, like Trump, is superior of someone tainted by good works. In addition his wealth is a sign of God's favor

God doesn't love the poor, meek, and downtrodden. God loves rich assholes, the highest form. This is a revealed truth, with the certainty of fatalism. So they've sent scumbags to Washington for decades, apart from revenge for the Civil War. 

Cool, Dry Place

Mitch McConnell looks as though he was kept in a cool, dry place. Maybe he was pre-mummified. He fits right in, in any case, with a Republican Congress of corpses, zombies and the living dead. 

Coexist versus Kill Everybody

Leftists want coexistence, with a place for everybody, like an ecosystem and allowing that some people belong in jail. Republicans want to kill everyone, possibly including themselves, and maybe destroy the world. There is no middle ground. Leftists are right, in as much as the truth of what they believe in hasn't been beaten out of them by Republicans, and Republicans are wrong. 

The 'liberal consensus' was a compromise between the interests of big business and everyone else's. Republicans, representing corporate power, attacked though everything was fine and they were getting richer and doing great. Nothing is enough for them. Their greed is fucking endless. We are going to have to take them down or they, and their evangelical backers, will get us all killed. 

Trump the Goadee

Trump, styled another decider, is of course a prop. Bush but worse. Trump surrounded himself with troll punks. He's channeling their rubbish. He's being played and we're being played by the worst assholes imaginable who goad him into horrible shit and undertake it as his agents. Capos, they're called. Goons, really. Donald's the don. It's an emergency and a catastrophe. It must be stopped.  

Bankruptcy for Billionaires

Not bankrupting billionaires, of course, who are sacred, holy and chosen by God, but bankrupting the country for billionaires. So they can have more. Only their lives count. Does this make them happy? 

No. We are a social species. That kind of wealth is isolating. Further accumulation is a compulsion. They can't stop. What would they do, give it away? That would be human. Out of the question.

Rituals of Annihilation

I stick with clips of the cultural carnage, with subtitles hoping it won't haunt me later. It isn't working. The Trump shit is ritual. Kash says what? It penetrates your brain, gets burned into the circuits and becomes embedded, the way they want to embed authority, privilege and racism everywhere.

This stuff is damaging. In a better situation it could be left to pros, priests or PhDs, maybe, who would interpret it for us. Counsel us, perhaps, so that we could react appropriately or protect ourselves. But I think we've been co-opted, adding energy to the madness. Sometimes I think we should roll over.

Let the world see what they stand for with no one else to blame, not that they wouldn't try and the acolytes would buy it anyway by the nature of ritual. They're wired for it. What I'm experiencing isn't healthy and I don't know what to do. The madness is overwhelming, a form of human sacrifice. 

A Soul Walks into a Bar

The bar is full of souls but they're stuck  in bodies. 'Stuck' isn't fair. They're just there. Bodies are neutral. Cool in their way, though a pain at times.

Souls can communicate independently of bodies. It happens. This soul sees the other souls in their bodies and the suffering and joy and their capacities. 

Their potentials. 

Are there evil souls? The soul reflects. No, but there are injured souls. Souls that are irreparably hurt. Some are in the bar, self-medicating, as they say.

Republican Hive Mind

Republicans have a hive mind. Save the colony. Save the queen. The queen is the propagator. Trump is the queen. Trump is a queen who propagates hate.

Cistemic Abuse

They started it. The schoolyard standard isn't invalid. Attackers should answer for their aggression. They draw lines. They create division. They sow discord and implant fear. 

Not that they know they're doing it. What does it look like if nobody fires the first shot? I would like to find out. Somebody has to break the cycle. We're in the middle of an attack. 

Helmets on. Flak jackets for now. We await the opportunity. To give peace a chance. 

Mitch ex machina

Mitch is back. The treasonous piece of garbage is back. Someone somewhere must be pleased. 

Be Evil

On examination and analysis of the Trump administration I've discovered the element that unifies and describes their endeavors to be doing evil. Given a choice they'll take the greater of two evils. They go out of their way to do evil. They think it up. They enjoy doing evil. It pleasures them to do evil. They're in the business of doing evil and they make money at it. Associates are fired for not doing enough evil or being incompetent or inefficient at it. Maybe they have secret awards and honors for doing evil, or informal street cred and respect for those that excel at it, like Miller and Vought. 

Institutions for the Feeble-Minded

In the Republican spirit of eschewing euphemism and embracing the competitive and violent nature of life I suggest we prepare to incarcerate their entire movement and asses in the prisons they've thoughtfully provided and are using for immigrants. Famously they act from the gut. They've unwittingly created the prisons for themselves in an unintended self-own. I think we should trust them and honor their insight since they know themselves better than anyone, if in a way involving compulsive compartmentalization and denial. We need to respect what they're telling us about themselves and exhibiting in proof of it every day. 

I Don't Believe In God

But I believe in the Church. Where does that leave me? Can I be a Catholic? 

Projecting Animals and the Fall of Man: Influencers at the Apocalypse

People project their humanity everywhere and into everything. What happens when they project their inhumanity? Or, worse yet, when the projecting agent is so inhumane it reverberates around in the system at the expense of the humanity? Then that agent in an act of folly is delegated supreme power. 

By people who take life itself for granted and hate it. Via projection, they hate all of creation.

Some wise asses go experimental on this. They want to play footsie with the apocalypse and tempt fate to see if they get their leg bitten off or are consumed. Let 's say we're living that. What's the benefit of trying to figure it out so you have followers or can wrtte a book about it and make some money? 

When there isn't going to be a fucking thing left. Is it just me or would you act and try to stop it? 

Harp at Heart

I wonder how Natalie Harp follows Trump around in such intimacy while he does so much vile stuff. He's incredibly evil. We might just say sick. Smilingly, she apparently and by all reports participates in Trump's torrents of lies and hate and goes along like some soulless zombie. 

The proximity is what gets me. 

The lack of remove. She's shoveling corpses into the ovens with the moral sense of a rock and with an inanimate impersonality, dead in a way. Yet she dresses up and smiles that dissociative smile and goes about it every day. With 9/11 I recalled this and where she came from. 

Where they all come from, the whole movement.

Prime Piece of Shit

Ken Paxton is a prime piece of shit. Grade A and select. Aged and fortified. Republicans love him more for it. Paxton is wonderfully, fantastically awe-inspiringly corrupt and awful. So, my God, they love him. 

Cellulose Heroes

We need some heroes. With meat on the bone. We get nothing. Mush and pulp. 

Rescue Me

I can foresee a day when Americans will pray for another country to invade us. To save us from Republicans. To save us from the racist monsters of the Confederacy. 

Ignore the Man in the Diaper

If Trump was ever the point he isn't anymore. Ignore the man in the diaper. He's a stooge, a stand-in and a tool. Other forces are at work. 

Living in the CSA

The Republican Party is waging war against the United States on behalf of the Confederacy. And they're winning. They'd rather see the place burned to the ground than fail. 

I'm a Believer

I don't believe in God. But I believe in fish fries. Can I still be a Catholic? 

Hello End Times

The United States were. The United States was. The United States isn't. 

Be Relieved of the Burden of Your Humanity

Some say the rich but I say evangelicals are responsible for America's fall. We were a democracy. The rich always wanted more. Somebody had to give it to them. 

Impatient to see Jesus, evanglicals were disgusted with their humanity. So they're shedding it ahead of time. They're so disgusted they insist we join them. 

They don't see their spirit or soul is tied to their incarnate form, at least for now. Jesus didn't became human for nothing. Evangelicals lost it all, soul and humanity. 

Too Many People with Too Much

Too many people with not enough. The middle is going away. 

I Believe in Me

Trump has an idiot's advantage, his epic insecurity walled off from the bogus confidence and faux bravado so there's no hope of integration. The divided mind of Trump deploys bluster, jingoism and pathetic self-promotion, incessantly barfing it out not as a tool, separately from himself. He lives there, as his own captive. And it's a fucking horrible place. Why would a society consent to be ruled by this madman, co-opted out of their minds?

Dark Side of the Moon

Is it possible Republicans are using Trump's ass for shade? From what I can tell they seldom leave its environs, ready for a big smooch. Maybe that's their answer to global warming. 

In Times of Trouble

Somebody, please help. 

Civil Rights versus Civil War

I think I'll take Civil Rights. 

Why the Fuck Not

Why not have a president who promises to throw some of their money he's been squandering and putting a match to back at them if enough of them vote Republican? I mean, why the fuck not? 

Crib Your Enthusiasm

Democrats are demoralized. They need to get over it. 

Derision Quest

Is there anyone Republicans don't belittle? They degrade us, degrade themselves and create circumstances that lock it in, a society that makes it as hard as possible to live a decent, moral life. What the fuck is wrong with these people? 

The Bad, the More Bad and the Inconceivably Bad

We don't need a script for that movie. Republicans already wrote it.
