I made a comment earlier saying that I sleep with one eye open of late. Sometimes I am sleepless. Or nearly so. Here’s the evidence to back my statement — a timeline in a public forum. D.C. (and other swamps further south) do not concern themselves so much with that evidence stuff. That’s one reason why I am unable to find deep sleep.
Our government is being helmed by people who will bald faced lie and collude openly with a hostile foreign power [and known duplicitous autocratic oligarchy] while our alarmed and aware intelligence agencies bide their time and hedge their bets and our inside looper media pussy foots around it all and the legislature is led by the self-seeking GOP reliable with party first, United States of America last saying there is nothing to see — though all leaders seem unwilling to put it on the line, even Dems.
Time and again we have been made aware that the agenda of this ruling crew is based on yellow journals filled with completely fabricated material aimed at the gullible mind. I am not convinced that they are shaped by the bogus stuff in the first place. Horrifyingly enough, I think the tree topper might perhaps believe it here and there. Second and third fiddle, Bannon and Miller, generate it so I’m pretty sure their perspective is just sincerely whacked with a nod to “by any means” to see that their wants are met. They really believe that they can pull this off. The chuckleheaded complicitors in the GOP are also of like mind with the new cheiftans, of course. though I suspect many of the latter are foolish enough to believe it will be democraticky autocratic plutocracy (until they themselves can get more cash, then it can be a full on oligarchy).
Such a heartless worldview is antithetical to anything akin to rationalism and humanism, fundamental in a democracy, let alone the Christianity many of these brutes purport to embrace. I subscribe to Buddhism now but I was raised with the notions that Jesus Christ died to save me. I know the Bible. I am deeply respectful of the things that we are told that Jesus said. I recall nothing about shoving the least among us around like they are cattle. No advice to the rich to keep shooting for the moon and see if they can’t hurt as many others as possible while trying to get it all; or at least, find a way to rationalize it to themselves enough to feel they have the right to cause such suffering to the lesser who aren’t clever. I don’t recall the pick-up your sword part, or the only let the right guys in, we don’t have enough for everybody part. I do recall eyes of needles and camels. I recall the one act of violence he committed, he turned over the changing tables at the Temple. The piggish business was an affront to the spirit of the Lord.
Human beings are being handily treated like ruminants already in a blatant way under the new administation. The new immigration orders call for the building of more pens. This crowd wants 15,000 more Border Patrol agents.
Nosireebob. I am staggered that the United States of America has no viable legal avenue by which to stop the Trumptanic. We can see the iceberg with modern technology, can we not?!?
I’m tired of this. I am not the lone ranger. I will fight it in any way I am able. It will not end well.
Fortunately, I can’t think of an image for this so I can’t preview or send yet. Which means I may delete it. Oooops. found one. Now I may hit that publish button since eyes are closed and I feel sleepy now, too!
I am tired enough at the moment to be inclined to think that these boys really do believe they can model an autocratic oligarchy on this side of the globe and that’s one reason why they are so cozy with Putin and friends. Their brilliance has led them to believe there really is no place for honest information in that model, truthful information is only useful in a democracy and they’re going to try really hard to get rid of that silly business.
