The Big Mistake

There might have been one big mistake Americans made, thinking there was some internal check on how low Republicans would go to establish their illegal, barbarous libertarian dream state. We know now. As low as it takes. There are no internal checks at all.

No More More

I think the virus is sending us a message. No more growth. No more more. We have to learn to live differenly. To live better instead of bigger.

Servile Row

How do we characterize the Republican brand these days? Dominance and submission have everything to do with it. They don’t understand you don’t have to live there. They don’t understand you can opt out and transcend it, that it doesn’t have to be that way.

For them there are only screwers and screwees. You have to be in one of those camps and, ultimately, everyone is a screwee. Again, Trump is instructive. He’s the ultimate screwer, it would seem, but look a little deeper and you see he’s more fucked than anybody.

He’s being screwed by a dead man, his daddy. There’s no escape. So you see it’s all compensatory. Republicans are trying to get even. They’re trying to feel better about themselves because they know they’re shit. Let’s take them at their own assessment on that.

Godspoil

How do you get to a Christian mega-slut like Kayleigh McEnany? And, how does shit like Kayleigh get to the White House? Never mind. It doesn’t matter. We know the familiar, evil, evangelical trajectory. They hate the imperialist Yankee government that ripped the slaves from their cold, dying hands and dared declare those slaves fully human.

Fuck that, says Kayleigh and her evangelical scum-brethren like Cotton, McConnell and the rest, who invade Washington and spend their lives defrauding the government as a show of contempt while actively working to destroy it. Clever bastards, they do it so openly. All the tools of deceit serve them well and none dare call it treason.

Heaven Can’t Wait

Dear God:
     
I know you supposedly created Donald Trump and I’m not going to ask why. Let’s just say that if your ways are inscrutable you blew the curve on this one. Please, take the fucker (excuse me) back. He doesn’t serve any earthly purpose.

To the contrary, he’s incredibly destructive. If you care at all about your creation please take him back. And, by the way and hoping not to be presumptuous, now would be good.

Your Devoted Servant,
