If Ziggy were alive today...

If Ziggy were alive today, his head would be doing The Exorcist 360, and in unrelated news, this would be hanging somewhere in the den:

Of all the disgusting and outrageous political smears, Feckless Leader won the contest for the 21st Century last week when he said,

Take away your guns, take away your Second Amendment. No religion, no anything...Hurt the Bible. Hurt God. He’s against God. He’s against guns. He’s against energy.                        Feckless Leader, 8/6/2020

This is rock bottom. Oh, I'm sure he will say worse things in the weeks to come, but this is baseline evil. 

If you are reading this and still support the current occupant of the Oval Office, please stop reading now. You have nothing to gain by reading this blog. Ever.

I am ashamed that We, the People, still have not booted his sorry, fat ass outta the office. 

I am ashamed that We, the People, have permitted him to make us the global laughing stock.

I am ashamed that We, the People, still have citizens supporting this pussy-grabbing, sexual predator who denounces people on the basis of religion, something he cannot possibly understand since he appears not to practice one, bible-clutching closeup not withstanding.

I am ashamed that there are assholes running around this country without masks because the asshole-in-chief tells them this isn't a problem, they should listen to a doctor who tells him this is because of demon sex, and encourages people to take drugs that are proven to be ineffectual for the disease. But hey! He's the president! He knows stuff. 

Well, folks, there are 5,000,000 problems as of today.

But in Sturgis, South Dakota.... 

Nary a mask in sight. Yeah, you can't fix stupid, but how many of these fine people are going to carry the virus home to wherever home is, and give it to someone they love...who won't be able to fight it off? It's like that high school in Georgia....two days and there's a virus hot spot. How many people have to die before these clowns get it?

Alexander Fraser Tytler or Alexis de Tocqueville...pick one...no one is quite positive who wrote this c. 1857...but whoever it was, he/she was spot on:

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.

This is really getting to me. I am writing with anger and frustration, which is not particularly pleasant for me. I want to be writing about how We, the People are rising above this period of incivility and pandemic. I want to write about how, after George Floyd's murder, especially with the full body-cam footage released today, we are coming to grips with racism at the heart of who we are. I dare you to watch it and not be sickened to the pit of your stomach. 

We may have an election in November, but this nightmare, if Biden wins, is not over in November. The earliest it can start being over is January 20, 2021. 

And then, how long is it going to take to undo the damage this jackass has done not just to this country, but to this planet?
