‘He sat stoned and shellacked behind the Resolute Desk, a consort of the feral fanned around him, an array of feckless sycophancy. He spoke yet again of his apex obsession-his beloved Reflecting Pool.
Something he had barely noticed in his first term but now that the worms of time had burrowed deeper into his brain, it was all he could think about.
Hell, even thoughts of Vanky didn’t do it anymore; or what’s her name, it sounded like what a Dave Matthews fan named their Chocolate Labrador in 1996. She was always clamoring for content and to be his plus one.
Oh well, never mind.
No, the pool would be his swan song. Hs magnum opus, a work to rival the finest architectural masterpieces of Orlando, Florida. He dreamed of walking upon its American flag blue waters wearing a gold crown and white robe as every woman who ever appeared on the cover of Maxim waded topless around him. Glorious.
Meanwhile.
A nation clamored for leadership, accepting the once unthinkable in the hope of even a mildly tempered change.
The funk of compromised morality hung over the proceeding like a pall.
The horses were hot and the stables were musty, hay was running low. It was gonna be a rancid summer, short on beans and long on bullets. Two-hundred-and-fifty years and they still barely had their act together.
All fireworks, flash over facts. Squalid misfortune. They worshiped wealth and empty treasure and endless trickery. The banjos brayed a tune of lost valor. The heartsick headed for the woods. The rumble of diesel and desecration filled the air.
And he droned on, into the hour of retribution, while the smell of burnt bridges floated up the Potomac. Sweaty hordes girded for a fight.
And on and on he went…only night could save us now.’
@thehill Such and obvious ploy to sow doubt in the elections that don't go their way! It's clear they all got the same talking point, "Its too corrupt to leave evidence!" Give me a break. 🙄🤨😂
This is a great reminder. When we feel overwhelmed by the sh*t flooding the zone, it's tempting to tune out for self-preservation. No one person can fix it all, but what we can do is counter the evil with love, positivity, and good deeds. Start small, it all adds up!
“I know Donald Trump and I know how deeply pleased he must be with all the suffering his causing. He comes from a family that is generationally racist, and he has raised children that will carry on his ignorance and venality.
We are letting the worst among us dictate our fate as a nation and this should outrage us all to the point we no longer tolerate it. POTUS has reshaped this country in ways we may come to regret for centuries. We can already see its effects in our everyday lives - and as hard as it is to not look away that is exactly what we must continue to do.
To document and bear witness to this administration’s crimes so we can not only begin to hold them accountable when we take back the House and Senate in November, we can also use their cruelty in this moment to educate future generations about the evil that can transpire under the guise of patriotism and normalcy.
Nothing is normal about this moment. You don’t have to go far in the U.S.A these days to see examples of people behaving poorly. We need to counter that with acts of love and tolerance, of acceptance and courage.
Humility is one of those attributes we don’t speak enough about in public life, especially in politics. The idea of serving others has been jettisoned in favor of a sort of judgmental, personality-driven politics.
The notion of domination has supplanted a more sober approach to governance which fully takes in takes into account how the actions of the individual affects the lives of the many.” https://t.co/SfZgeT6SzH
