“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you are like whitewashed sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful
outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.” Matthew
23:27
That statement resulted in a man of color, the world’s first
documented Civil Rights worker, executed by the Roman state.
Words like these are powerful and threatening to hierarchies
and corrupt societies.
Mansplaining (noun): the explanation of something by a man,
typically to a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.
Because what he fears is comparison to a more qualified woman,
Finding him wanting in preparation and experience.
It’s a tool used by abusers, gas lighters, and colonizers,
Because to enforce a brutal psychological hierarchy,
You must constantly convince the designated pariahs to “stay
in their places.”
The proper place is beneath their boots and contempt.
They must define themselves as being closer to godhood,
And the common folk can never be like them.
That’s why they isolate themselves in Ivy League colleges,
And Levitt Towns with restrictive covenants,
De facto by exorbitant housing prices,
When all they see are their Stepford selves,
It’s easy to get full of your self-importance.
Any threat to that contrived existence will be dealt with by
social and actual violence.
He talks about “the late, great Hannibal Lecter.”
As if Thomas Harris’s cannibal psychopath was a real person.
He opines about whether he wants to die by electrocution on an
electric boat or being eaten by a shark!
He tried to redirect [a] hurricane with a Sharpie!
He tried to blow up one with a thermal nuke.
He told Californians suffering climate change forest fires to
“rake them.”
At a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina he said: “Yesterday,
we heard that Saudi Arabia and Russia…a Rhee, be, do, gah!”
He said illegal aliens were eating dogs and cats like he was
quoting an episode from the TV sitcom Alf!
By the way: “Abortion after birth” is called a school shooting!
“Thoughts and prayers” haven’t solved that.
At the Economic Club of New York:
“Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down, and I was, somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so, uh, impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, that, because look, childcare is childcare is. Couldn't, you know, there's something, you must have it – in this country, you [have to] have it.”
Excuse me: What the hell was that?
Dr. William T. Kelly from Penn State’s Wharton School of
Business said that he was “the dumbest goddamn student [he] ever had!”
This is why “stable genius” had his [then] fixer, Michael
Cohen, threaten all his schools to “not release his grades or transcripts.”
He said he graduated at the “top of his class,”
But he’s not listed Summa Cum Laude in his commencement address.
I would say he graduated “Thank you, Laude,” but he’s stuck at
Two Corinthians.
Are “concepts of a plan” the new “binders full of women?”
But let’s push out his opponent, three years older who happens
to stutter.
And, like Hillary Clinton, analyze his Vice President’s laugh,
when her weird opponent never seems to.
Sane-washing (noun): The superfluous act of taking nonsensical
word salad and blanching it like kale until it’s discernible as human speech.
Face it:
The Fourth Estate was on life support during the Vietnam
conflict.
The Fourth Estate died in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The corporate media was more interested in making money and
pumping the profits of the military-industrial complex.
Bloggers were more accurate than the Washington Post and the
New York Times.
So are their natural descendants, podcasts.
Poets have always put the truth on full blast.
Eric Blair, pen name George Orwell said it best:
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your
eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Why not “deconstruct the administrative state?”
Why not promote “alternative facts?”
Why not promote a bloody conflict if he lost?
Why not a personality cult zombie apocalypse?
He is a tool of the 1%.
Actual billionaires laugh at him.
The 400 million Daddy gave him would be 150 billion if he had
sat on his ass and done nothing!
His “wheeling and dealing” has always been Ritchie Rich
cosplay,
He never fully knew what the hell he was doing.
His father bought 3.5 million in poker chips at one of his three
failed casinos (out of six bankruptcies), and never placed bets on them!
Some would call that money laundering.
He’s at the tail end of wealth distribution on a bell curve.
The only reason he’s rich is because he refuses to pay his
creditors or do a profit and loss statement.
Every characteristic of Narcissistic Personality Disorder,
Particularly the malignant kind,
He checks off the DSM-5 list effortlessly.
Corporate media ignores his failings because they are
acquiescing to fascism,
Before, the line was too long to include them!
Before they wind up in the gulags with the rest of us.
Anyone worse than him is going to be our mass extinction!
Sane-washing is the last stage of patriarchy before Entropy
collapses it.
Every movement that brought us forward has always been met with
backlash.
Check your voter registration and vote early.
Volunteer and work through November 5th.
Lower your shoulders and push back.
But as we embrace and shape the future:
