Flies to Shit

We should have seen it coming but almost every previously seemingly dignified “conservative” has fled to the reeking shitpile of the Trump administration and is feasting on the festering dung. That made me wonder, realizing I didn’t know, what flies actually do with shit. Do they ingest it, only use it for purposes of reproduction, or is the relationship more complicated and “symbiotic”?

Shit symbiosis, seems to be the answer, though the laws of conservation suggest ingestion is the primary drive. Flies can’t masticate, it turns out, only kind of lick or slurp, which I have noted before is the main conservative mode of interaction with Trump’s ass, the licentious locus, and though I had thought this only obeisance and idolatry it appears to provide sustenance. Flies are all oral and anal.

I’m sorry this is so graphic but recall the vast amount of carrion created out of human lives by the last Republican administration. We must go there. Like Bush before him, Trump is a shitting machine. We ALL are, to an extent, truth be told, but this is why human societies have evolved conventions about sanitation—in the service of self-preservation. Vile entities like Trump and Bush never make it.

They are arrested before the level of toilet use, their wealthy families having been able to afford to diaper them via endowments and to empty and dispose of the vast output of their anuses in perpetuity, the same wealth enabling levels of capital ingestion capable of creating torrents of societal feces and dreck. We live in an environment now rife with their rectal refuse, tasteful stuff to Republicans.

Anything that will bring them closer to wealth and capital, however predigested. Evidently it is in their genes or something and they find the stench irresistible and the shit sustaining. I offer no further explanation, only these observations of what is obvious to those with eyes to see, ears to hear and, unfortunately, defenseless nostrils with which to inhale the rank and indescribable stink of doom and decay.

Beyond the Valley of the Dickheads

I watch and read and I am stunned by the number of assholes there are in America. We are an asshole nation. We are bullies, creeps and cowards. If it were in any way self-correcting that would have kicked in long ago.

The correction will have to be a big one. The assholes will have to destroy everything to such an extent we will somehow be reborn. But I see no way to stop the assholes. They are as determined as they are crazy.

Huge Boomer Daddy Problems

I’m not surprised at all that huge daddy issues attach to the sons of “greatest generation” fathers, these fixations becoming undeniably evident with the election of Bill Clinton, the first boomer president. Clinton succeeded and DEFEATED a greatest generation homie—son of an eminent family, WWII vet and a guy who was shot down in battle.

Clinton drove those with daddy problems, now amassing on the political right, crazy with resentment. He was seen as a usurper—an unworthy, false and illegitimate inheritor of the mantle of national daddy and supreme leader. Righties imprinted on this resentment. Their presidential candidates ever since have been lesser and unworthy sons of prominent men.

Unconsciously, Clinton was perceived as “sleeping with” the mother—the federal government—revealingly labeled “nanny” by Republicans. Only Republicans get to suckle there, as they do so voraciously, because the federal government is the mother keeping them from having to grow up and out of a permanent state of dependency. Democrats are actual grownups, the father figures who must be destroyed in a fit of Freudian envy. 

Witness the current cycle of Democrats having to clean up Republican messes, changing their diapers after they shit themselves, George W. Bush being an outstanding example.

Mitt Romney might have passed as less than completely incompetent but he’s shown low character in failing to resist the Republican descent into an abyss of degradation and, of course, he made his money in the honored Republican ways, inheritance and exploitation—harvesting the productive resources of deserving working people, as enabled by the buying of influence in Washington.

McCain, too, suffered by comparison with his male progenitors on back, who fought in glorious wars unlike the inglorious mess of Vietnam. McCain succumbed to the pathology, betraying his country in his own way, hiring the scumball, Tucker Eskew, for example, who had slimed him in South Carolina years earlier, to tutor his massively inappropriate running mate, Sarah Palin, in the arts of sleaze.

George W. Bush. Where do we begin? Did privilege help inculcate such worthlessness or was he born that way? In his eyes there were hints of embryonic, organic brain damage and dysfunction. It is NOT NORMAL to engender the kinds of destruction he did without compunction. I argue for inculcation over a layer of innate inadequacy, a combination of nature and (possibly alcoholic) nurture.

Trump is presumably the end-point and perfection of incompetence and ill will. Many of us thought it was Bush but it is important to understand that they both crave and fear exposure, having never achieved escape velocity in adolescence and still cowering under the skirts of the nanny state, to which they are inevitably drawn. They are unadapted to circumstances, and have adopted the need to measure up on their fathers’ terms.

It’s an impossibility.

Circumstances don’t allow it. The opportunity is gone or never existed. They thrash about in pursuit of an authority that can be challenged and proven resilient and worthy when the appropriate authority is their role. Archetypal parentage is hopelessly and feebly defended by Democrats, not to disparage them, because it's impossible to defend in this fictitious arena. Arrestedness has produced a generation of monsters.

They are compelled to destruction. Only their inner resources can prevent it and those are occupied by evil forces compounded now by a legacy of shame too vast to be owned and acknowledged. We are, to an indeterminate degree, doomed, as only an annihilation of some sort can enable our rebirth. Hold on, friends. We are in for a severe reckoning.

Individual and generational authority issues are feeding on one another. It can only end badly. Batten down the hatches and all of that.

Send Him Back

Trump, in his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution, has cracked yet another door, the possibility of deportation and removal of someone for (supposedly) falsely criticizing American policies, attitudes and practices. Unfortunately, Ilhan Omar is an elected official, having won the popular vote for her seat, unlike Trump, and so she is therefore not eligible for removal, having been constitutionally vested in and legally fulfilling her role.

However, there is an outstanding candidate in Rupert Murdoch, whose unbelievably inaccurate, ill-informed, biased, hate-mongering, polarizing, partisan and reprehensible “news” site has done incalculable harm to his adopted country. In what way is Omar compromised? She makes her life unimaginably more difficult by defending the principles of American democracy as she was taught them and calling out our society for its failings.

Murdoch, on the other hand, is making a fortune treasonously setting Americans against one another with his lies, misrepresentations and such. He sows the seeds of division and discord everywhere, raking in enormous profits in the process. Murdoch is the one to deport.

Unreality Bites

Think reality is bad? Try out delusion. Reality is having to grow up, get a job, act responsibly and both accept and administer authority in the service of something higher, such as the greater, long-term good. In a delusional world none of this matters.

Kavanaugh Catholics

Outsiders got a rare view of the inner world of Catholic high school degeneracy—extreme, sick, submissive competitiveness and thuggery—in the Kavanaugh hearings. This is the cocksucker, tin-soldier strain among conservative Catholics.

Don’t be fooled by appearances of aggression, however obvious, common and extreme these are. It is fundamentally submissive. They are trained in a kind of servitude. They don't feel culpable. You better hope they adhere to true authority.

The violence of this disposition is unthinking and unregulated. It rests in submission to what they perceive as a higher cause and commitment. They don’t acknowledge responsibility, therefore. Now, it is the “higher” authority of Trump.

A Room With a View of Trump’s Ass

That would be, any room or office in Washington. Trump offers his bare ass unprejudicially to everyone. Republicans line up in homage. They kiss the golden calf. I mean, ass. Many remain on their knees and lick away.

Moon to Goon

Fifty years ago we landed a man on the moon. More recently we landed a goon in the White House and his henchmen are everywhere. What’s to celebrate?

Mitch the Bitch

Mitch (the Bitch) McConnell has spent his life taking it up the ass from and for corporations and extreme capitalist forces, pursuing a return to a plantation economy and a life of privilege for the elevated few. He has succeeded. Wealth is inconceivably concentrated again.

Himself, he has received a government check his entire life and married a fantastically wealthy Chinese heiress, realizing the dream of every Republican, money seemingly from nowhere. He might appear assertive to us but he’s actually entirely submissive and degraded.

When Mitch carries on about slavery and reparations it must be understood in this context. The problem is not historical. It is ongoing. McConnell might not look like some burly overseer in the cotton fields but he is one in the new economy of extraction and exploitation.

His authority is derived. His power is delegated. His character degraded. It is systemic and structural. And the slave economy is back.

Cache Me If You Can

Our humanity is increasingly buried under a corporatist crust. We are a substrate and something to be stepped on and used, raw material for "real" people, those who own significant capital and whose existences therefore count.

Eventually, fully mined, we are relegated to landfills as our utility wanes. We are husks, leftovers, tailings and waste. It's a misuse of money to support us. In our subterranean exile our lives are suspended and we can't move forward.

We are memories even to ourselves, the walking dead of capitalism, where productivity defines life below the level of the subdeities of corporatism and the supreme beings, the super-wealthy. We are cached, in a zombie netherworld.

Death Panel Convenes

Republicans never gave up on trying to destroy Obamacare. Now, a panel of judges is meeting to do just that. Tens of thousands of people will die. This is what Republicans stand for, destroying people’s lives.

Red Cape Award

Cue the music:

Anyone can offer Donald Trump the slightest challenge and he’ll charge it like a bull. The trick is to do it intelligently and creatively. And, of course, not to get gored. That’s how we maintain standards in America these days, by managing our imbecilic president through distraction. The moron will charge anything.

Cynical or Stupid?

I envision a day of reckoning for Republicans. I suggest a reality show, to separate the cynics from the idiots. The idiots believe the lies. The cynics know they are spouting and supporting nonsense.

Radical Cheek and Mau-Mauing the Flacks

Uppity lefties are disgruntled. The Sarah Sanders era has ended. Journalists might be prone to righteousness and indignation but with Sarah it was justified. All she did was lie.

They got extra cheeky in return. She shut them down and cut them off. She showed them. She didn’t have to communicate at all. Previously, at least they could report the lies.

These weren’t briefings but branding and ass-covering. Plenty of ass to cover in Trumpland, to be sure. Newly labeled as socialists and radicals, journalists attacked the flacks.

Good luck with that. The Trumpists have all the power, you know. It’s all they care about. They aren’t afraid to abuse it. In fact, they love it. What fun it is “owning” the Left.

Fuck governing. Fuck everything. The nihilists are in control. They are a marketing concern. What they are marketing is lies. It is all invented. Their only reality is power.

Imbecile President Turns National Holiday Partisan

America’s imbecilic and incomprehensibly self-centered president, Donald Trump, is turning a national holiday into a celebration of himself and a partisan event. What a piece of shit. It can’t be said often enough. He isn’t even worthy of the normal rights of citizenship. He is a crook who belongs in jail.

Metamorphosis

There was a huge vermin named Donald Trump who awoke one morning to find he had been transformed into a man. Once adjusted he discovered that his instincts and habits played out well in the human world. Donald cared only about himself.

He would do anything to get ahead. He had no conscience but was all appetite and lived in a gilded and lavish environment built on filth. He produced nothing. He consumed everything. Concupiscence, corpulence and sloth characterized his life.

He was widely admired for being such a pig and made president, a role model for the young. This is the end of our story, showing how human evolution reverted and conscious beings CHOSE to return to a lives as animals, insects and vermin.
