America is a lie. We keep papering over lies with new lies. Not just Donald Trump. It may just be that he is America’s last and final lie.
I won’t waste our time explaining that, because if you don’t already know it – that is your own personal lie
Who do we think we’re fooling. In the middle of “stay at home orders”, the government gives people a free ride to wherever they want to go.
24 hours a day, government subsidized and supported municipal buses travel around, picking up anonymous strangers. Nobody knows where they have been or what they have been getting into. Nobody knows who they are or where they are going.
Its a rolling Petri dish. One minute a guy is sleeping on a bench, wrapped in a filthy blanket when a bus pulls up and awakens him. So he gets up and takes a seat behind a kid with a skateboard. Social distancing be damned. Some folks have on a mask, and some do not. Some folks have on gloves and some do not. They all grab on to the hold bars, while refusing to hold hands or make eye contact.
This is why I rant against the resident, the governors, and the mayors. They are all complicit in this hoax. Each one commuting constituent homicide rather that risk political suicide. They’re blocking borders, while harvests lay dying in the fields. They’re closing car washes while dispensaries and liquor stores remain open. Until someone steps up and enforces a stay at home order, this thing will linger until it does blow over.
Since we insist on hyphenating everyone, let us look this situation square in the mouth. For the purpose of this punch line, I am an African American. My friend Geoff is a Native American. I know several Jewish Americans and a few Hispanic Americans. My cousin was even married to an Egyptian American.
Over tbe past 50 years, Biden, Bernie, and Bloomberg have accumulated a public domain, audio/video resume of dumb ass statements, positions, and actions. This puts them at a decided disadvantage when they stand next to those junior and sophomore candidates Buttigieg and
Dear Candidates:
It took us 227 years to arrive at this point in presidential history. Many political battles were fought and won. Many man hours were spent gnashing teeth and ringing hands to arrive at a social-economic balance that America could live with both at home and abroad. We took our time to research and develop tarrifs, taxes, regulations and reforms that seemed most likely to support our safety and goals. Now we are just tearing up treaties and bulldozing ideals at the whim of a single individual. He is a bull in a china store. We are like sheep going to slaughter, not knowing which service or product is likely to be recalled next. Without regulatory oversight and defenses, business has decided to recover expenses and stop testing on lab rats, in favor of real time testing on their customers. At the same time, the bully is building an idealistic and biased court system that is bent on removing tort controls so that when a business is caught testing a dangerous product on the public, they but only apologize, without fear of pesky lawsuits that used to bring them to justice.
We have arrived at the point where we can no longer accept the word of any one. We distrust our enemies and political opposition. Now at least some of our allies have been cast as suspects. Trump however maintains a totally unbreakable grip on the minds of his disciples. We have never been so alone among friends.
