Deer in the Headlights

I’m getting tired of this attitude from Democrats:

Democratic Brain Trust moaning about no-power to push back against Herr Trumpf and Elon Speer.

Given where we are at, the floor of a corrupted Congress is not the place to look for resistance to Doge-bags and the Fuerher.

Remember when Yeltsin jumped on a tank? Remember when that guy stood in front of the tank in Tiananmen Square? Remember when Gandhi marched to the ocean to make salt?

Will someone in the United States please get out there in the streets, forget about passing a goddamn “bill” which is going to be ultimately rejected by the corrupted Supreme Court and inspire Americans who don’t want this shit?

The circle is Complete

We’ve completed the circle. We Americans have gone out into the world, seen what we’ve seen, come rushing back home slammed the door shut and fitted out the house with surveillance cameras, automatic machine guns, potbellied camo boys with tattoos that scream like John Prine’s* waitress, “Make America Great Again”, a moat slithering with crocodiles and snakes and a steel wall.  

We are ugly Americans again. Led by Mr. Uggers himself, DJT.  His Pestilence is assisted by a black shirted, Seig Heiling immigrant who fled Apartheid not because he opposed it but apparently because he sensed the USA’s soil was more fertile for such diabolic Dogebags** as he.  

They say JFK read the novel The Ugly American and felt shame. Soon afterwards he announced the Peace Corps. And created USAID.  Not so every child in Asia could have cotton candy every morning but because he and his bros believed the USA could win friends by being decent.   

Now his nephew sparks outbreaks of measles in small Pacific Island states.  

We’ve completed the circle. We Americans are ugly again.   

* His 1972 song, Rocky Mountain Time, goes:

I walked in the restaurant
For something to do
The waitress yelled at me
So did the food

**A brilliant turn of phrase from Jon Favreau, former speech writer for Obama, who coined it to describe the youngsters tearing down the Republic.
