Not the grrrl your mother wanted you to marry.

We have a homegrown Gestapo of pardoned insurrectionists terrorizing anyone they damn please and a non-compos mentis traitor dictator enabled by an entire political party and other bad actors around the world sitting in the White House he's destroying to glorify his own sick vision of his importance

I created this several years ago, and no matter what fucked up mess Trump makes out of the White House this is what it really looks like, and here we are.

I wish I was doing this tonight instead of sitting here in my bathrobe.

A pig walked into a bar, ordered 15 beers and drank them. The bartender asked, "Would you like to know where the bathroom is?"
"No," replied the pig.
"I'm the little piggy that goes wee-wee-wee all the way home."

The hours pass in Time’s unceasing sweep;
I, unrefreshed, bear witness to daybreak.
Some nights the tears unshed prevent my sleep;
I measure every promise yet to keep.

i spent the day
doing what i don't know
when i looked up it was night
time had crumbled
now i'm dusted in ashes
and the shards of broken dreams
that color my nights
with longing for what can never be
lying heavy on a heart that loves
to dance but has forgotten how

Mike Johnson: the Magic Christian who transforms the teachings of Jesus into a Nazi capitalist screed to please the oligarchs running him along with the rest of the GOP.
If you want to think of him
as Marie Antoinette you'd have to change her famously misattributed trope to
"Let them eat Scheiße."

we've lived
through tough times before
and made it
picked ourselves up
and moved on
wiser for having been there
but when goodness
has been traded for gold
and the blind deaf
and more than dumb
lead the parade
the only thing waiting
is a cliff

Every one of these apologists for evil is so full of shit his or her eyes are brown. We know who hates America – it's this so-called administration and every single ambitious lackey who serves their ugly divisive fascist repressive agenda.

well, Republican Jesus is no gift to humanity.

Raise your hand if you're surprised.
It's beginning to feel like this is a feature of evangelical Christianity.

oh Donald, admit it – you're looking forward to going in and killing them because everybody knows with every policy and in every other statement and action you undertake you are all about death

FU, Vance, I don't want lives ruined by this illegitimate regime In which you enthusiastically take part. I don't want to live in a goldgilted imitation of Nazi Germany. I don't want people attacked in the street by masked insurrectionist thugs. I don't want foreign ships sunk for the hell of it.
