Excuse Me, Mark Zuckerberg, But Your Vagina is Showing

Today I got kicked off Facebook for the third or fourth time - I lose track.  I made a remark that ended something like, STFU Lindsay Graham Cracker.

Well then.

Apparently Cracker is hate speech, but behind Graham?   Does anyone order crackers with their soup in Mobile, Alabama at the white only diner?  Fucking hate speech if you do!  They might serve crackers but you better not ask for them.

So up rises the mighty FACEBOOK brown shirts to tell me that I am banned for seven days for saying cracker in the same sentence as I said Lindsay Graham.

You know what, Zuckerberg - you cheap whore in an expensive suit with a fucking ugly haircut......your vagina is showing.  The hypocrisy oozing from your wretched attempt at a legitimate existence soils the world in excrement.

Let's look at Zuckerberg.

A Class A Criminal with a pedigreed education.  While at college, he stole the idea of social media from two other students......and that education kept him from going to prison and earned him billions of dollars.

Of course, Mark Zuckerberg is now one of the nation's leading greedy whores and must embrace republican theocracy.  To put that in terms the average reader can understand --- Republican theocracy means you must love money above all else, hate to pay taxes, pretend you're religious, pose as a decent human being and basically exchange Democracy for Oligarchy, while killing off anything undesirable, i.e., anyone not having billions of dollars.

And Mark Zuckerberg is worried about me calling Lindsay Graham Cracker a cracker?

Mark Zuckerberg, if I am not mistaken, allowed Donald Trump to rise to a position of power while accepting money in exchange for the posting of lies, disinformation, and flat out repulsively blatant foreign interference from a hostile government, namely Russia.  Mark Zuckerberg, just like Donald Trump, has no qualms about accepting money from our enemies if it makes him richer.  He wants to be a head Oligarch when our democracy is toppled, and he's right on track to be just that.  Gilead, anyone?  It's where we're headed.

But Mark Zuckerberg is punishing me for referring to Lindsay Graham as a cracker. 

Mark Zuckerberg is as full of crap as they come.  His true colors are evident in just about everything he has done and will do in the future.  He lies.  He steals.  He cheats. He should go buy himself a real short skirt and show everyone his vagina.  He shows it off in every other conceivable way.

Like Trump, Zuckerberg is a fucking coward hiding behind his money.  His penis has been pimped out to the highest bidder and he's left with a vagina, which doesn't make him any smarter, but does expose him for the dickless piece of human excrement he actually is.

But as Zuckerberg has done from the beginning.......he'll get the little guy to pay the price that should be extracted from him.  Fucking parasites.   They're the worst.

WTF

Leave it to that utter moron in the oval office to plunge the United States into another disastrous conflict in the middle east.

Distractions at the expense of global security.  Trump doesn't care.  He'll do anything at this point to look like a leader, when in reality ---- this assassination in Iraq has made us all very vulnerable to every conceivable kind of mayhem.

All you idiots who voted for this bullshit artist better prepare your sons and daughters for years of war, violence, and apocalyptic living conditions, because the President Without a Brain has plunged the entire world into darkness.  What a perfect way to distract you from the Articles of Impeachment.

You stupid, stupid people. 

At this point, it is hard for me to say whom I detest more ---- Trump or you.

Joy to the World

It's that time of year when everyone seems to get a little part of the Christmas spirit.....whether they're true believers or cynics, Jews or Buddhists, Muslims or Scientologists.  Even the most atheist among us have a soft spot in their heart for Christmas music, ice skates, snow, mittens, cocoa, cookies, and peace on Earth.

One day of the year, one can almost physically feel the peace on Earth.  It doesn't matter if it's just a  perception and that we go back to being just awful to each other the next day.  The Christmas spirit exists in all of us for a brief 24 hour period every year.

I guess that's better than nothing - one single day of the year where we shut down the negativity and we all pretend that there is hope for a more joyous new year.  In fact, a lot of us aren't pretending - we're really hopeful that this peace on Earth feeling actually does last longer than dinner at Grandma's house. 

Alas.

I'm far away from my family, and Christmas will be a small affair.  There won't be a ton of presents to unwrap (darn), or little toddlers tearing into their gifts and being more delighted with the boxes they came in.  There won't be a flurry of anxious activity while dinner for sixteen gets served up, or a mountain of dishes to scrape and clean.  There won't be anyone a few martinis over the line, or any petty squabbles between siblings.  There will just be people who honestly care about each other spending a quiet evening at home.  Like most of our evenings.  I guess everyday in my house is like Christmas (without the presents). 

I'd like to give a gift to everyone --- an idea that every day can feel like Christmas if every day we pretend its Christmas.  We try to be more charitable, we care more about our fellow beings, we are more generous with our money and our time.  We actually help someone who needs our help, not because they've asked for our help, but because we are actually seeing them and the situations they are in.  That is Christmas and that is what I wish we would always feel.  It should not be limited to 24 hours once a year.  It loses all sincerity if that is all it is.

Steve Scalise Syndrome Invades GOP

As I watched the GOP hand picked whiner society complain about process and policy ---- never once defending or denying the treasonous misdeeds of the horse's ass known as Donald J. Trump, it occurred to me that they must certainly have a more heinous agenda than even Trump was able to incorporate.

The New Order they seem to be proposing will leave most Americans seriously hurt and the democracy mostly dead.

These are evil men.

We don't know exactly what evil they are building to, but we do understand the magnificent obsession they have with tearing down our democracy.

They are hopelessly cheer leading a douche bag who will be impeached (at least) if not actually removed. 

These cowards are all suffering the same fate Steve Scalise suffered with his love affair of the NRA --- no balls syndrome.  That, in a (empty) nutshell, is the gist of it.

As American Heads Spin

Days of Our Lives.

Permanently on Hiatus.

So along comes the latest daytime drama ---- the Impeachment Inquiries.

Most Americans are dismayed to see the level of corruption on display by the Republican Party and Donald J. Trump.  I'm speaking strictly of those Americans perfectly capable of separating fact from fiction.  (A little more than half of our total population.)

Here's what I am seeing:  a country in disarray and lacking credibility anywhere in the world.  And I'm seeing this because a bunch of hopelessly misinformed people voted Donald J. Trump into existence as our President.

Perhaps most interesting (to me, anyhow) is how a man (and I use the term strictly based on gender) who shows no loyalty to anyone, acts as if he's King Henry VIII, and makes up his own reality, is having his karmic output come back to him a thousandfold.  This is providence to me.....and providence to me is poetic justice, nothing more.  No bearded old guy watching over sparrows......just poetic justice. 

There's always been a little bit of a wobble as this planet spins.......and since that horribly fateful day when Donald Trump took office, we have been millimeters close to an all-out catastrophic event.  Except for one thing.  Donald J. Trump is so inept, so incompetent, that mysterious forces have conspired to take him down.

Maybe its not so mysterious.  I live in New Orleans.  I suspect there are an awful lot of dolls with pins inside our Parish lines. 

Whatever has caused this sudden shift into light from the nightmare most Americans are living under, we need to be very grateful this Thanksgiving, that this very dangerous, genuinely disturbed man pretending to run this country is definitely going down in a giant fireball.

I watched the impeachment inquiries today.  My take away is that no one is going to take a fall for Dandy Don.  No one is going to take Devin Nunes seriously as he spouts out the same, ridiculous rhetoric that  the Republican Party always seems to spout these days.  Trouble is.....no one's in the market for snake oil, and Nunes comes off as looking like a priggish little whiner who goes out to dinner far too often.  On your dime.  At Trump hotels. 

Liars always project their lies onto truthful people.  They honestly don't get that everyone isn't as big a liar as they are. 

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. 

This is a phrase which today's Republicans will never understand.  And that, alone, will save our country.

Ugly Times are Here Again

 While everyone is focused on the impeachment inquiry hearings....

The fact that the Republican Party is staging a coup to hold onto their power and replace our democracy with some distorted, archaic process of authoritarianism is going largely unnoticed.

But the sad fact is - these conservatives have had a taste of power, (which for them is like the taste of blood to a vampire bat) and they're simply not going away easily. 

The truth - we're in the midst of a coup which, if successful, will set back our country at least 100 years.

If you don't believe me, just look at the crimes being committed by the United States at our borders.

Look at our environmental devastation, and the climate change that is denied, denied, denied.

Every mass shooting that has happened during Donald Trump's reign of terror is fueled by the hate speech emanating from both him and his minions.  (Please note - no steps have been taken to reform our superbly lax and certifiably insane gun laws.)

Separating children from their parents, and being unable to reunite them because of the monumental incompetence that defines the Trump administration is a page right out of Hitler's Berlin.

We have religious leaders proclaiming God has sanctioned Donald J. Trump.   There is no separation of church and state.

Women's rights are under attack as the conservative men in this coup attempt to return us to 1950, when women knew their place and kept their mouths shut.

Gays are losing rights every single second this president is in power.  But it's not just him.  There's a game plan by the conservatives, and we'd better wake up and beat them at it real soon.

The very thing that made America such a special place is being replaced with an authoritarian nightmare.  Many of us feel powerless to stand against this because we simply do not believe it.

We'd better start believing it.

Louisiana ---- Can it Survive Itself

Four years ago, Louisianians elected a Democratic governor.  In a land where people consistently shoot themselves in the foot with their votes for pro-business, anti-human Republicans, this was no small victory.

John Bel Edwards inherited a real financial disaster from Bobbie Jindal (and Eddie Rispone by default) and managed to turn a huge deficit into a surplus in just four years.

He's not my favorite candidate.  He oppresses women's reproductive rights.  He fails to keep church and state separated and he hasn't, thus far, forced the many oil company interests that thrive here to pay their fair share of taxes.  The infrastructure is failing here, but it has not been addressed in any significant way.

Still, someone like Eddie Rispone, who swears that he'll turn this state back 150 years the minute his hand comes off the Bible, is a poor choice by comparison.

I don't know why John Bel Edwards won four years ago.  I would like to believe that at least some percentage of Louisianians actually did some research and figured out he was the best candidate.  He was.  He still is.

But this is a state mired in lack of education and incompetence ---- and it starts at the top with politicians neck deep in a rhetoric that is neither progressive or beneficial.  John Bel Edwards was a breath of fresh air in a state that stinks of political ignorance.

I will vote for him again.  I hope the rest of the state does too.
