Mad as Hell Freezes Over

At what point does what Peter Finch says in the film Network at the very least happen, nevermind a full-on revolt? How much fuckery does it take? Just asking. I've read about the "Mueller firing red line”, but will people really collectively rise? I have my doubts. Part of me thinks people almost want this country to become as unequal and fascistic as possible just to see if it really can happen, or just talk about it endlessly until it does. And if it's not happening to them well... Look, if a tree falls in the woods, whether you personally hear it or not doesn't matter, it makes a sound. It's happening, and we live in a collection of States that supposedly calls itself United, doesn't that mean having each other's back? Inaction about increasing day to day occurrences of oppression, suppression and repression, racism, classism, inequality, greed, corruption and general lack of empathy that have permeated all aspects of life and work across America leads me to believe that this complacent (and often complicit) country of selfish individuals simply does not have what it takes to take a stand. We seem to be on a b-line to begone.

Overheard

2 guys in conversation on the subway: Guy 1- "People on the subway, they don’t wanna talk to each other, you notice that?" Guy 2- "That’s cuz they’re tryin’ to relax... I don’t even wanna talk to you." In other news: Smack. The lying, orange, sex offending, classless, racist fascist and his hee haw sidekick lost in Alabama. May this be a harbinger of some much needed better times to come.

Crapital

Trump couldn’t name any state capitals here and now he’s naming a capital elsewhere (not to mention creating further chaos in said region and here)?Yet another mind blowing scene from Trumpocalypse Now. I'm reminded of the following lyrics from Devo's song "My Baby Left Me a Surprise" when I think of the mess Trump is making: Itchy goo goo goo It's all I want to do, whammo You got me running in circles Like a pee-pee baby I'm so happy I just want to die Cause this baby love It comes from up above Move on over I want to get closer Move on over want to twaddle with you Move on over Satisfy my urges Please, please help I got the goo, goo itch You got me running in circles Like a big-big baby.

Saturday Morning Cartoon Country

Donald took away my deDUCKtions. F'ing quack, Scrooge McDouche and co. These evil characters need to be written out of the shitty Saturday Morning cartoon this country has become.
