The Desperate Rich
The rich know what they're up to. They seem desperate because they reject the system we live in, the one that made them. They won't feel secure until they destroy that system. They know they're crooks and parasites and that it can't go on.
Republican Are Replicants
Republicans sacrificed their humanity to Trump. They didn't want the responsibility. They are mind clones. They update themselves from Fox News and conservative media.
Democrats pretend a system exists that offers a way out. It's a delusion. That system has been infested with mind clones for decades. The mind clones are its masters now.
Things He Said Today
Donald Trump's Piece of Shit Tour is generating unprecedented amounts of feces aiming to preserve his power and save his ass from accountability. He shit on everything his whole life. This is the final act.
As Trump's time on earth nears its end he offers a grand finale of shit-spewing. He wants to shit the world. He's shit his country to death. Republicans celebrate the glory and greatness of Donald and bath in shit.

Son of Scam
Who Wants to Be a Henchman
What kind of person wants to be a henchman, a Brownshirt or a goon? Someone with no sense of what they are, with no self-esteem.
They get an identity from somewhere else. A career, a movement, a religion, a guru or a leader. Whatever. Why not Trump? There's a vacancy there.
Trump being a piece of shit isn't an impediment, it's an asset. A fabricated hero can be better than a real one. And Trump is nothing.
Entirely fabricated. No humanity. No decency. No integrity. It makes him perfect, for a made-up world. He's an actor. A marketer. A salesman.
There's nothing fucking there. So he came to embody their hate.

Conservatives
Conservatives believe they're better than other people by birth or some arbitrary standard. They think they're persecuted if they aren't given special treatment. Other people's rights and political status are conferred by conservatives because conservatives deserve to rule.
Everything is based on the idea they're arbitrarily and infinitely deserving, by being European or Christian or whatever. It's simply a claim. An assertion. So they're against democracy. Republicans are admitting this, that they're not democrats. Hence the disconnect with Ukraine.
Ukrainians don't want a tyrant. Republicans do. They want lords and henchmen. The rest will be serfs.

Insane Is Good
The new ethos of Republicans is that Jesus is coming to take care of everything. So, fuck it. We can and should live like pigs and lunatics, totally irresponsibly, because nothing matters.
In fact, living like maniacs, screwing our fellow citizens and the environment and all that, is a sign of faith. Because God will set it all straight in His good time which sources indicate is now.
Nobody has ever thought that before, have they. Republicans and evangelicals can't fucking wait. This time it's going to be different. Jesus really is coming. And blowing shit up and killing people is so much fun.
Brides of Trumpenstein
The look. Mar-a-Largo face. The submission. They're not independent persons. They're owned by somebody. They're owned by Trump or a movement. They're the brides of Trumpenstein.
White House as Womb
Little Donnie Trump wants the womb, to crawl back into the womb, complete containment in an environment that's only for him. We have the White House as womb.
Washington as womb. The world as fucking womb. Little Donnie's insecurity is vast. Way to go America, you put the sickest fuck you could find in charge of everything.

Going for Broken
Republicans are deliberately breaking the country. They decided on liquidation. Maybe they think they can make more money that way. Or, it's not about the money, they're already swimming in it, but it's about governmental overthrow, world domination and an enduring reich, common dreams of madmen.
We're living in a fucking movie and I don't see Sean Connery showing up to save us. Let's play the Bond music anyway.

Privatization
Privatization isn't about efficiency it's about exclusion. Republicans lie their asses off about it of course. They don't want efficiency. They want control.

Saudis Experience Trump Shitshow for Sure
Credit the cultural disconnect but the Saudis are discovering late in the game they threw in with an unbelievable fucking moron in Trump. They are shrewd people. Maybe they couldn't get a grip on Trump's fantastic stupidity, perhaps assuming the American electorate couldn't contain enough idiots to elect him twice against their own interests and the country function as well as it did.
Or maybe they knew and thought they could capitalize on Trump's confounding imbecility, that no one would be watching the American store under Trump and they could loot it. Which was true but Trump was simultaneously blowing up the shop. Maybe they didn't foresee Trump would act against the interests of everybody, including himself. That he's a compulsive, a fool and a tool.
Trump's final self-immolation is tracking to be a doozy. Cultures are never a reflection of what they deserve. They change with a lag. America has been living on borrowed time since and to the degree it chose exploitation and empire over independence. America wasn't functioning as well as it seemed, entering the imperial doom-loop and frantically grasping at resources.
Herr Donald is the last gasp. America failed to have faith, cut the imperial strings and stand on its feet. America is probably fucked. Sorry, Saudis. As rich as you are it's nothing in the scale of the accelerated suicide of an empire. Evangelical Christians are behind this. They're apocalyptic. One would think Arabs would understand religious fanaticism but these weren't their crazies.

Law and Order: Colossal Fuckup Unit
Nothing to Offer but Arrogance
Combined with incompetence. A hell of a mix. That's the Republican Party. Built on the assertion that some people are just arbitrarily better than others. Which draws in the dregs.
Really better people don't have anything to prove. And they know anyone can be better by behaving better. Don't be punitive assholes. It's as simple as that. Republicans should try it.

Trump the Great
Trump the Great, leader of the tribe of the Morons, conquered his own country through vanity and stupidity and not in spite of it. He wasn't a military leader or anything, really, but an oaf, a buffoon, a bully, a braggart, an opportunist and a charlatan. The times encouraged and created such a character. He would have failed utterly on his merits in another place and at another time. He was a reflection of cultural developments. It was a new dark age.
An age that favored the channeling of resources over productivity, marketing over making, and the rise of the idiot sons of wealth by monetary inertia in a society drunk on resources.
This society rewarded drive and remorselessness over talent and subtlety of intellect. There was plenty of those but they were routed by the barbarians. In fact it was a clumsy, backward, anti-intellectual age. In addition heathen and murderous apostates claimed religious sanction and supernatural authority in a brazen inversion of all doctrinal precedence and tradition. Decency fled in horror. Trump's forces won by virtue of being insane and destructive.
Bury It
Burn it all down. Nothing goes away. There are always consequences. Repercussions.
Downstream things.
I'm not sure Republicans don't believe this. They just don't care. Environmentalism is humanism.
We know this. You can only burn and bury stuff for so long. It catches up with you.
Republicans were taken over by evangelical Christians. They want to destroy everything.
They're dualists. The soul is pure. The 'flesh' is shit. Conservatives ought to be responsible.
One would think. Conservatism is a scam. Lies. A bastion for privilege. An aristocratic club.
They can't be entrusted with anything. Even themselves. They're not responsible people.
Donald's Big Adventure
Poor Little Donnie Trump. His life has become an unbelievable shitshow. Again! And he is completely innocent, innocuous and always means well. If everyone would admit he's the only person in the world that matters, and the greatest and most wonderful, an obvious truth, everything would be fine.

She Left Her Soul at Liberty U.
There was no place for it in Washington so Natalie Harp, handmaiden of the apocalypse, left her emaciated soul at Liberty University. Liberty and Oral Roberts and similar institutions are a farm system producing vampire zombies. It's a fucking horror movie.
Remembering Jim Bakker
Jim Bakker was a charlatan and a crook with a horrible helpmeet. They lived royally in gold-plated splendor on money swindled from the masses who were told they were doing God's work. The Bakkers went bust on a white people dream park looting those followers. They didn't care who they hurt.
Behold, the dream is realized in Trump. We are that theme park and a Calvinist state shining a light into the darkness of creation out of Trump's ass as he shits on everything. Trump is shitting the whole world. Calvinists want an end to creation. We might get it. Nobody fucks things up like Trump.

Presidential Panic
Felonious fuckup Little Donnie Trump is flailing. No daddy to bail him out. No hideous Roy Cohn to the rescue. The world watches in horror. Nakedly exposed, Little Donnie lashes out. Evangelicals are excited. They sense the end times. Poor Little Donnie. There's nowhere to hide.

Republicans Are Trying to Grow Up
We will need to help them along. They're fearful and fragile. They lack empathy and discipline. Compliance and subservience are not discipline, any more than being in a cult. They're offloading their freedom and humanity because they can't cope. They're dying for some discipline. They want to be stopped. They're still trying to grow up. It's a little late now.

Witness for the Persecution
Trump pleads with the electorate to let him finish what he started, the annihilation of America. Surely they want to bottom out, see what it's like. Then a rebirth. It will be worth the pain. He's screwing them to the wall, fucking them over. He's saying let him finish, a pitch a bunch of evangelicals are buying.
The rebirth is appealing to them.
Pathological Speech
Republicans are parasites. Nobody could stand to live in a culture that reflected their values. The culture couldn't exist for long, collapsing from its predatory viciousness. They're sucking off a society responsible citizens created and sustain. They're the takers. Everything they say they are is a lie. They abuse every privilege and subsist on subterfuge and, in the end, sedition as they take over all the institutions and run them into the ground while stealing everything they can.

Why Republicans Hate Innocence
Innocence is an insult to God. Creation is corrupt and a pit of sin and degradation. Somehow our beautiful souls got stuck in this mess by God and it's totally confounding, absurd and inexplicable. A mystery, but we know unrelenting temptation and decay are the order of life.
God willed it so we must go through it, always looking forward to the release of death and our wonderful reunion with God in heaven, wherever the fuck that is. The violation of innocence is God's work because innocence is unnatural and a delusion. Innocence must be eradicated.

Execution, American Style
Republicans, who love to kill people, have failed at an execution in the upstanding and principled state of Tennessee. Marsha Blackburn, an important elected official, should be brought in to shoot the prisoner.
She's excelled at getting people killed in her role as U.S. Senator and at screwing her ignorant, redneck constituents. If Blackburn is busy Bill Lee, governor and Confederate badass, should be called on.
City in a Hole
The Supreme Court has ideals and principles. These put them above reality. They can't be bothered with the mundane. Their eyes are on God. They fail to see that instead of a utopia they've created shit.
We're not a city on an hill we're a city in a hole. Not a beacon but an abomination. Their eyes are looking out from a high point, into blue skies. They can't be bothered to look down into the hell they created.
