Mike Pence joined Amazon Prime the other day. Gets free shipping and fast delivery on stuff he buys. He searched the website and because he has limited ability to spell and click boxes sought help from his wife: "Mother, how do you spell "balls?"
He ordered a pair, read the quick start guide and installed
them. Then he went to work. It isn't tough work he does. What
does it take, after all, to open a bunch of envelopes and count ballots?
The Ultimate Sycophant could no longer syc. It took a
riot. But now, at least, we have a president-elect and all that implies.
Did the trump riot at the US Capitol
building shock you? Good. You needed that. We all did. Else how
would the horror that we have inflicted on ourselves starting in 2016 end? How
would the boil have been lanced? How would the cancer have been
excised?
This was like 9/11. It was like
Pearl Harbor. It was like the battle of Ft. Sumter. Someone had to give
us a whack upside the head. Okay, thanks. You have our attention now.
There are three basic classes of
political evil at work in America. And it’s time to act against all of
them.
1.
The soon to be ex-president and his immediate though ever-shifting.
Ever shifting and at once shiftless. Time to go. In handcuffs if possible.
Maybe in chains or giant butterfly nets.
2.
Their “ordinary” followers, people you know, whose trump worship
you tolerate, whose ramblings that you impotently respond to by doing nothing
more than turning your back and walking away instead of answering them in kind.
3.
The worst of this threesome, those who enable and support the
other two for personal gain. This third branch of trumpists work the levers of
treason.
These are some members of the third
group:
--High ranking officials like Mitch
McConnell who isn’t nearly as stupid as he looks or sounds and who makes the
legislative end of trumpism work while allegedly demeaning it in private.
--Lowlifes in congress like “The
Senator from Texas,” who got into both Yale and Harvard because they want to be
seen as broad-minded, not because of accomplishment or intelligence.
--Lower lowlifes in state and local
government who from the safety of gerrymandered bunkers and foxholes goad those
above them in the chain of authority to continue the Screw America movement
that the rest of us now have a chance to stop.
Start with the 25th Amendment and
excise the tumor. With his new Amazon Prime purchase in place, even a bottom
feeder like Pence can steer the ship of state for the few days between now and
when the grownups move back into the White House.
