NEVER Follow MisLeader Losers

Daily writing prompt
Are you a leader or a follower?

It’s tough not to envision nations, planetwide, eventually tumbling like dominoes IF, scant months from now, we bear witness to Donald Dolf Trump plopping his fascist fanny behind the Oval Office desk. Were that to ever go down, he’d promptly keep his campaign promise to rapidly deteriorate / devolve the United States of America into his frequently fantasized fascist state.

And he’d have plenty of well-wisher company, too; all owing to the fact that there’s rarely any shortage of ubiquitous, copycat authoritarians; be they already wallowing in their fetid cesspools of power or aspiring a-holes itching to get stoned on that stench; take their first deep dive into that fascist fecal matter.

Of course, that stomach turning scenario need not turn out that way IF this upcoming fall’s Stateside voter turn-out snowballs into something so massive that none of the countless, Republican enacted voter suppression (f)laws will ever manage to dismantle Democracy; i.e., IF enough of our electorate fully comprehends what’s at stake this election cycle; words to the effect…

Sweet Freedom To Trump Sour Fascism?

Daily writing prompt
What does freedom mean to you?

Forward: My essay cannot even begin to sum up my love of liberty in its entirety; the spirit of freedom which imbues me; dwells within each strand of my DNA; cannot begin to fully express my respect and gratitude for the untold numbers of valiant soldiers who, from time immemorial, have fought and died, whilst combating grotesque oppression wherever it rears its ugly head; how, in the bloodstained process, they so selflessly serve(d) to secure life, liberty and justice for all.

Yet, ever since 2015, when that corrupt, power hungry fool took his downward escalator ride, we the critical thinkers, have become painfully aware of the existential threat he is to freedom’s fresh air; and worst of all, how there’s no shortage of fools out there, way, Way, WAY OUT THERE, who are positioned in deep Deap, DEEP RIGHT FIELD; who are far, Far, FAR too effing eager to swap sweet freedom for sour fascism.

Obviously, we’re now traipsing dangerously close to Donald Dolf Trump’s MAGA-World; where all he need do to snag his psychotic fix of his toadies’ blind loyalty / adulation is to embolden them to devolve into their worst imbecilic, misogynistic, xenophobic selves; AND then, cap all that deplorable crap off with WHAT? An “adorable” red baseball cap?

Worst of all, Teflon Trump (nearly always) manages to remain at large; (seemingly) one step ahead of the (allegedly) long arm of the law; and as such, come November 2024, could (likely will) defeat President Joe Biden. Sadly, no sooner than if/when all of that nasty dust starts to settle, our atlas maps of the U.S.A. will get rebranded T.S.A.; namely, the Trumpian States of America.

At that juncture, Donald Jezus Trump would become the role model; the envy of all authoritarians, worldwide; both empowered and would-be.

Is all hope lost? Not if we, the critical thinkers show up this fall to cast our ballots; to peaceably tell that fascist F’er to go F himself!

`

If fascist goons’ moons; eclipse freedom’s sunlight
Rampaging Trump will reign morn, noon and night
Since We can’t live like that!
We must flush that scat! STAT!
Show up, en masse, to outvote extreme right!

An Ugly UnAmerican Performance

Daily writing prompt
What was the last live performance you saw?

It’s a horrifying thought how, during the LAST performance, which I saw “live” (back on 6 January 2021), the matters-at-hand nearly morphed into Lady Liberty’s very LAST performance; Stateside Democracy’s LAST stand; our Founders’ nearly 250-year-old Grand Experiment taking its LAST gasp.

Tho I did view Donald Dolf Trump’s attempted coup “only” via the telecasts, it’s fair to point out that, at that juncture, we were just wrapping up year #1 of the coronavirus pandemic; and as such, very few live performances were playing out anywhere other than at careless science deniers’ superspreader events and stupidly still open for business establishments.

And, whilst that sums up the then, YIKES sums up the here and now. That’s where we find the vengeance seeking, witness/juror doxing, still at large, would-be dictator, hard at play. And suffice to say, DONNY IS NOT DONE WITH US YET! Most worrisome is how, discourtesy of the Electoral College, he needn’t even win the popular vote. Beyond that, he’s been fully exploiting the way too timid, walking on eggshells Department of Justice and the way too lax Constitution’s list of presidential qualifications.

In other words he could retake the very Oval Office he tried to (metaphorically?) burn down!

Now, were that to become his new reality, our new reality would be facing down the Trump 2.0 Admin / his fascist dictatorship; the blow back from that (perhaps?) making January 6th seem more comparable to the (fabled in MAGA story and song), history revisionists’ scenario; you know the drill…

How these toadies’ whoppers spin Trump’s U.S. Capitol sortie into some sorta “calm”, “orderly” visit by slightly enthused tourists.

Seeing how there’s no way in hell that I could ever unsee what I did see on my TV, back on that dark day in January, I now invite you to take a look-see at my following poetic summation…

`

  • Malicious Trump’s malcontents and malefactors
  • Are surely / surly; insurrection’s bad actors
  • Their Jan 6th “performance” did stun
  • STILL belittles battles hard won
  • By freedom’s champions; fascism’s detractors

Hassle-Free Freedom Holiday(s)

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

Although it is NOT YET a national holiday, within a nanosecond of declaring it so, it’d become my… indeed… every Democracy lovers’ favorite. Here’s why I believe this so, deep down, within every strand of DNA in my body…

You see, there’s this illness that’s been spreading all across the Stateside landscape. And tho covid-19 is still a health concern, within this post, what we’ll be thoroughly investigating is more formally known as AntiDemocracy Disease; and, more to my point, whether or not it’ll become curable or terminal.

Indeed, that outcome is up for grabs; still remains a 2024 election year, 50-50 toss up; winner take all… correction… loser take all; my amending that due to its superspreader being none other than THAT 2020 Sore Loser / Big Liar, one Typhoid Mary, aka the (perhaps) superspreader of classified documents and STDs, purported porn star / playmate grabber and suspected insurrectionist; (the one and Thank God ONLY) Donald Dolf Trump.

It is he who should be reminding you and me how the time is ripe for remedial action. How so?

Well, We the People will need to count on the resolve of the Executive Branch’s Gentleman Joe Biden PLUS Chuck Schumer’s democratically controlled U.S. Senate; for they must be the ones to (quite easily) exploit U.S. House Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson’s razor thin majority. Trot out that cut a deal with the devil stratagem; make Mikey a promise that they’ll help keep his already on shaky ground tenure tenable; all in exchange for his support and passage of a NO BS, long-overdue voter rights act.

Essentially, this would champion ZERO tolerance TOWARDS; flat-out nullification OF EVERY LAST EFFING VOTER SUPPRESSION (F)LAW ON THE (STATE LEVEL) BOOKS!

Working towards that goal… During the two month lead up to the official November Elections, our Uncle Sam would schedule not 1 but 8... count ’em… EIGHT pre-election day holidays (inclusive of Election Day itself) where employers would grant their employees time-off (with full pay); just to make damned sure that casting our ballots shall remain hassle-free! As in forevermore!

During off election years, said 8 holidays would offer up a full, free education to anyone in need of civics lessons or a refresher course; you know, just to ensure that…

  • Democracy (oft battlefield hard won) is NEVER, EVER AGAIN taken for granted!
  • Effing fascists, such as traitor Trump, are NEVER, EVER AGAIN taken seriously!

Show Thug Trump the (jail cell) Door!

Even prior to being quadruply indicted, delusional Donald Dolf Trump’s M.O. of choice has been to dox his foes; his obvious, threefold game plan being to…

  • fully awaken / embolden his domestic terrorist sleeper cells
  • “suggest” they intimidate, maim and murder Dems and Libs
  • binge watch TV carnage updates; guffaw his fascist fanny off

However, now that the onset of one of Trump’s criminal trials looms, he has been specifically targeting the judge, prosecuting team and their staffs; as well as witnesses and potential jurors. BTW, to protect the innocent, I’ll not be naming names.

Consequently, Trump’s ceaseless stabs at unleashing stochastic terrorism have been on the rise; even in spite of the judge’s…

  • gag order to tie Trump’s serpent tongue; zip up his loose lips
  • warnings that failure to shut up would be Contempt of Court
  • heads-up that C of C is punishable by stiff fine / long jail time

Alas, the judge is fully aware that Trump’s jailing (even for one scant hour), could provoke MAGA malcontents into staging their nationwide, take no prisoners, burn down America rampage; one that would rebrand their deadly, destructive January 6th storming of the U.S. Capitol into simply a few overly enthusiastic simple folks simply taking a sightseeing tour.

In the interest of both shutting down the x-prez’s nose thumbing / middle digit whipping at American jurisprudence, it’d behoove the judge, at his earliest convenience, to take Donald Dolf Trump on the grand tour of the lockup facilities; give him a friendly reminder that, should he fail to mend his meddling ways, he could soon wind up calling these cinder blocked, vertical barred accommodations (his new gated community; as it were) “Home Sweet Home”.

And, to (naturally non-violently) hit him where he lives, why not point out how he’d be using a “throne” made of white porcelain, NOT gold. And, just to complete the “pretty” picture, why not add that special air of realism, oh, say, by conveniently forgetting to flush the recently used “facilities”?

Why not give Donald J. Trump a glimpse of what, with 1 pound of the judge’s gavel, could readily become his room without a view.

Liberty’s Beacon Kept Lit With Wit?

Seeing how it was tough to find an edit featuring all of Ms. Clinton’s Greatest Hits (inclusive of her spot-on, and indeed, prescient zinger re DJT’s contempt for the peaceful transition of power), to savor a far more generous serving of her tasty and tasteful roast, attend Hillary’s full Sit Down Dinner HERE.

Welcome to the Complaint Dept.

Bloganuary writing prompt
What do you complain about the most?

`

That’d boil down to my boiling mad complaint re non-critical thinkers, who can so thoughtlessly throw their undying support behind an autocratic bastard, such as Donald Dolf Trump.

`

Worst of all, Trumpers do so for no other reason than his total validation of their cancerous, fugly bigotry; his granting these Klansmen / Nazi wannabees total freedom to frolic in the fetid cesspool of abject hatred.

They’d even empower him at all costs when that cost means…

Floundering Father Trump’s fascism absolutely trumping America’s Founding Father’s freedom.

Hell, some of the most cultish, Kool-Aid swilling, slurping, chug-a-luggers have even gone so far as to roar, aloud, their willingness to die for their fascist daddy Donny.

Well, if the all too real prospect of Trump trumping Joe Biden does see the dark of day, such Trumpers’ death wishes will come true. After all, undying support for any autocrat automatically devolves into literal death; e.g. death by starvation, homelessness / exposure to bitter cold, gun violence, etc.

Truth be told, Trump does wish such horrific death upon the masses, mainly because he pleasures himself to images of human suffering. And then there are the economic issues, too. When circumstances, oft beyond poor folk’s control, force us to rely on government social safety nets, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Obamacare and Social Security, that “eats up” the very tax dollars that he intends to morph into utterly undeserved welfare for the wealthy.

Yep, tax breaks that’ll benefit ONLY his already obscenely rich, big biz billionaire piggy pals.

Now, compare that outcome to the “worst” that could happen if gentleman Joe Biden gets reelected…

America survives; strives to fully attain the very greatness, that’s best summed up within the following preamble…

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Freedom of Expression

8 Year Anniversary Achievement

`

`

  • political scene home and abroad
  • lessons that history can teach us
  • condition of the human condition                    

On this, my 8th WP blogging anniversary, I offer up my posthumous thanks to America’s Founding Fathers; the authors of the, now, nearly 2½ centuries old U.S. Constitution; to commend them, too, for their Bill of Right’s 1st Amendment’s free speech and press protections; for without ’em, I truly believe meaningful blogging would’ve never really caught on at all.

Yet, we now discover these guarantees, in all their sophistication / worldliness, at risk due to an anthropomorphized, emotional train wreck; aka the little engine that couldn’t; aka Donald Dolf Trump; the malignant narcissist who parlayed his (non-existent) charisma into what, in essence, is zero accountability / limitless corrupt political power; all of THAT gussied up with his Teflon business suit; prettied up with bottle-blonde haystack tresses; to say nothing of his troweled on, garish Day-Glo orange, Bozo the Clown magnitude make-up.

That XXX prez owes much of HIS success to hoodwinking a slew of gullible, childish, intellectually incurious, low information voters; all courtesy of their no questions asked / allowed; totally undeserved loyalty. And, all he had to do to secure THAT was wrongfully normalize their butt-ugly bigotry. So, just how subservient are they? Well, one needn’t look any further than the rampage they went on at the U.S. Capitol; how they misguidedly “had his six” throughout his January 6th attempted coup.

Focusing our attention, now, onto the upcoming 2024 Presidential Elections, its astounding yet true, that, instead of Trump already serving out year three of his 500-year (too lenient) sentence, he remains mostly unpunished and still at large, rampaging up and down the campaign trail, no less. My GAWD, come November, he could wind up easily exploiting the Electoral College map and mathematics; thereby snagging his democracy ending, second term.

We are speaking of the troublesome struggle between…

  • Good v. Evil
  • Cosmos v. Chaos
  • Freedom v. Fascism
  • Democrat v. Republican; namely:
  • Joe Biden v. Donald Dolf Trump

IF the outcome does favor satanic, chaotic, fascistic Dolf, his win will be America’s irreparable loss. And IF the United States drops off our global radar screen, THEN expect eventual copycat nation toppling autocrats, everywhere; to obliterate their “blips”, too.

Under such dystopian conditions, no writer, for the moment still alive, could realistically expect any blogging platform to continue business as usual; nope, not after Donald Dolf Trump rallies his private army of sycophantic, fascist pig underlings; deploys ’em on their hog wild crusade to…

  • identify / brand liberal bloggers enemies of the fascist state
  • make damned sure we wind up detained, deported or dead

Tho, all things considered, I’m not presently, particularly in a partying mood, nevertheless, I now raise, skyward, my virtual glass of celebratory champers; offer up a toast to what could very well wind up as my 9th and FINAL Year as a freedom loving, living, true blue American blogger.

Last, but far, Far, FAR from least, I now thank you, my subscribers and readers for caring enough to read my stuff…

Beware! It’s InFLUence Season

Daily writing prompt
Who are the biggest influences in your life?

`

From my perspective, full disclosure, here, I’ve spent the better part of Sunday, 24 December 2023 attempting to suss what, exactly, has been impeding my response to this particular daily writing prompt.

I finally figured it all out, all courtesy of the following Oxford American Writer’s Thesaurus quotation, which conjures up some rather disconcerting synonyms / related thoughts re the I-word in question below. I’ve converted the most worrisome entries (to me / perhaps you too?) to bold font…

influence: noun

  • 1 the influence of parents on their children: effect, impact; control, sway, hold, power, authority, mastery, domination, supremacy; guidance, direction; pressure.
  • 2 a bad influence on young girls: example to, (role) model for, guide for, inspiration to.
  • 3 political influence: power, authority, sway, leverage, weight, pull, standing, prestige, stature, rank; informal clout, muscle, teeth.

influence: verb

  • 1 bosses can influence our careers: affect, have an impact on, impact, determine, guide, control, shape, govern, decide; change, alter, transform.
  • 2 an attempt to influence the jury: sway, bias, prejudice, suborn*; pressure, coerce; dragoon, intimidate, browbeat, brainwash; informal twist someone’s arm, lean on, put ideas into one’s head.

* suborn, in itself, implies bribery

Granted, there can be positive influences on one’s life, but, in my own case that occurred early on; courtesy of my public school teacher parents; as well as my 6th grade Social Studies teacher, Mr. M, whose syllabus included a unit on critical thinking / correlation between cause and effect.

Regrettably, the prompt’s Q is worded in the present tense; ergo, for me, that all must translate out as…

Not even one person, currently, is a particularly big, let alone, the biggest influence in my life. And you know what? I would NOT want it any other way!

That’s not arrogance speaking; that’s my survival instinct getting prompted by our world where batshit crazy authoritarianism has been kicking in; my gawd, to say nothing of within MAGA-Amerika, too.
