Lights Out

Has there ever been a time when the President of the United States had to barricade himself inside of the White House out of fear of his fellow Americans?

Last night the fascist in chief did exactly that. Then today he had the nerve to tell a group of governors that they were weak. The pussy grabber hid from the scary mean people, but it’s the governors, who are actually trying to be leaders in these painfully difficult times, who are weak?

I swear, if that fascist were any more tone deaf his head would literally fall off of his shoulders.

We need to remove this prick. November can’t get here fast enough. If he had even a shred of human decency he’d resign tonight, leave the country, and never come back. It was confirmed earlier that he spoke to Putin. Maybe he was asking Putin if he could come stay at his place until things calmed down here.

They are never going to calm down here, cheeto. Not for you.

Another Night

Another night of violence on the streets of The United States.

I have never, and will never condone violence. Never, ever.

I’m afraid we’ve reached a point where there is no other way to affect change. I’m devastated that it’s come to Boston, but if this is the only way to affect change… Due to the luck of the gene pool draw I will never know how they feel or what they are going through, but I know they are in the right. Even though I believe violence is wrong, they are in the right. This is a nightmare.

The president was moved to a secure bunker last night. I never dreamed I would live in a time when protesters in the streets would cause the president to hide in a secure location and I wouldn’t be outraged by it.

I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what to do. I watched a bunch of live streams of protests in Boston and Washington last night and there was a crushing moment when two Periscope App users turned a corner and saw the national guard on the street. In Boston. Armed troops on the street in my city.

Now I’m hearing that there was a total media blackout (social and otherwise) in Washington last night starting at about 1:00am. What the hell is going on there? Why is the whole city blacked out?

I don’t know what to do, or think, or say, or feel.

I found a site that is accepting donations to help pay bail for people who are arrested during the protests. I will send a couple of bucks. If it turns out to be a scam I’ll do what I can to bury the fuckers, but I think it’s legit. I hope. We’ll see.

Be safe out there, please. Keep your masks on. Keep washing your hands. COVID-19 isn’t pausing because America is collapsing. Be safe and stay healthy.

Grass Part 3

All done. Front and back. Suck it, universe, fatty is in control.

Now I’ll just sit here until my back stops screaming at me and then I’ll go back inside and be miserable about the state of what used to be my country again.

Grass

My country is burning and there is nothing I can do. I feel powerless. I feel impotent. Our neighbors are being murdered in the streets for the crime of having the wrong color skin, more neighbors are dying of a plague that should be simple to avoid but isn’t because so many of my neighbors feel that their comfort is more important than other people’s lives.

I need to feel like I have control over something or else I’ll loose my mind. The grass. I have control over the grass. It’s way too long so I’m cutting it all even though doing so makes my back hurt like you wouldn’t believe.

It is an absolutely gorgeous day here in this place that used to be called America.

Widget Hope

The United States is literally crumbling around us. Americans are being murdered in the streets by law enforcement officials who have sworn to protect them, and the so called president is pledging to sic the military on those who speak out against it.

And yet there are glimpses of hope buried in the chaos. Americans have flown into space on American vehicles for the first time in a decade.

And earlier today the WordPress widget on my iPhone did this:

Attention all planets of the solar federation…

We have assumed control…

We have assumed control…

We have assumed control.

This is So Wizard

Two lines from Star Wars episode one perfectly predicted the age of Donald “nazi Don” Trump.

First, Qui Gon says to Jar Jar, “the ability to speak does not make you intelligent.”

Second, Anakin says to Qui Gon, “your buddy was about to be turned into orange goo.”

How weird is that? Maybe by this logic, nazi Don was actually the Phantom Menace all along!
