A Slogan We Can't Live By

A life long friend recently sent me a link to Twitter that had a link to a Ralph Nader post that outlined the length, width, height and weight of all the crimes yet to be committed by donnie.

If it had been new news it would have been depressing.

Since it wasn't new news, it elicited twitching in my fingers and characters on the screen.

Here they are.

"We are so screwed.  

"An old Air Force friend and I agreed to that slogan on 9 November 2016.  

"I was in Paris at the time.  

"On election day I had wandered down the Seine and had gotten some good pictures of a merle noire.  

"I have always wondered if it was really a bird or an omen."


But moving forward to the here and now times.

Next on the agenda, given the number of arms deployed out there, and the relatively high level of paramilitary training and readiness to use those arms, embedded in the nation's police departments, national guards and nihilistic militias, will be a gradual metamorphosis from highways, byways, freeways and trails, all wending hither and yon serving the network of homesteads, villages, little towns, big towns and the occasional metropolis that all, in composite, constitute America, instead into regionally controlled combat zones that will leave our central government a stumbling, limping joke made up of a comical cadre of buffoons, thugs, clowns, criminals, nutcases, pseudo saints and registered sadists.

I guess no change is good change.

And how Octavia Butlerish.
