"You wanna know something?
Take the heater away
and you're nothin' - take the good goods away, and the
kickback and the shakedown cabbage away and the pistoleros
away and you're a great big hunk of nothing. Your guts is
all in your wallet and your trigger finger."
Budd Schulberg "On the Waterfront" circa 1954
Elon Musk comes across as somebody who needs to use the
bathroom immediately, or like one about to break out in tears. His resume
reads like a Bobby Fisher using companies for checkers, jumping pieces on his way
to getting crowned. It's hard to figure out how much of his success is useful to the
poor fuck who'd probably settle for a soup and sandwich.
Trump is probably one of the red squares. Musk is fantasizing on a world that normal
people aren't ready for. He made his mark in this country as an undocumented immigrant:
ask his brother! Why didn't Trump kick both their butts out of the country?
But Musk is not the only manic douche partnering with Trump on his march to the WH. That grunt
that he's assigned to head intel has a history of playing hopscotch with
professions, military branches, political parties, religions, et al, and it's hard to tell what
dogmatic square she's on right now. Man (!!!), she sides with Bernie Sanders (???) on the issue of high
credit card interest rates which they obviously believe is more critical than whoever
holds the nuclear launch codes!
Evidently (Bernie!), Joe Biden wasn't the only one overtaken
by old age. And a nearly 80-year-old convicted felon who looks as if he needs a diaper change is
on the way to take Joe's place.
Look what happened to Guiliani, the guy that cleared
the path for incoming carpetbaggers, some of whom are still dodging subpoenas from the
DOJ. Sic transit gloria mundi. Rudi was everybody's friend, but currently he has no money, so,
no friends. That's what siding with a dirt bag gets you.
Two of Methuselah's selections, Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth for AG
and defense secretary respectively, have been
investigated, to put it delicately, for not keeping their "peckers in their pants."
HHS secretary? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. whose brain was eaten by a worm.
"Border czar? Tom Homan, a mutation of some kind that you'll probably find only
in the Galapagos. He's gonna probably recruit more green-uniformed civil service rejects for an elite
band of roughnecks to run rough-shod over frightened women and defenseless children.
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is starting to look like a halfway house for sex offenders, Supreme
Court judges and leftovers from Steve Bannon's yacht parties. Too bad Jeffrey Epstein
didn't make it out of jail. He mighta got (sic) himself a pardon and an ambassadorship to Thailand.
Those of us who couldn't go to college to learn how to be utterly stupid, always knew
(kinda average stupidly) that not one of this horde of predators was worried over what
the average mook had to spend for a bag of groceries. Salvation is a long way off when
you're living in your car, or a cardboard tent in the woods. The cavalry ain't coming.
There are nearly 40 million poor people in the U.S. Women (especially the heads of single
parent families and their female children) are the hardest hit: by street crime, domestic violence,
serial rape, serial murder, human trafficking, low level employment, bestial supervisors, condemnation
from the churches and next to no health care. There are no stats for single men who abandon their
pregnant girlfriends or their wives and children, or debate about enforceable laws against that kind of conduct.
While elected officials living off the public dime
like kings lack for nothing except underage sex partners. While they sit and use their huge
brains and education to debate the issue of transgender humans using the wrong WC, while the
country turns into a massive toilet right before their eyes and a killing ground for animals who've
been given carte blanche by these morons whose brilliant way to solve an issue is with
guns and brutality and fences and exclusion and removal by force or encagement.
It's astonishing how
much a gold crown resembles a coiled spiral of dogshit.
