For 39 minutes,
He decided to stop taking questions,
Or talking,
He “danced” to what I guess was his Spotify list.
I got “It’s a Man’s World” by Godfather of Soul, James Brown
because of his instinctual misogyny.
But has anyone ever told him the LGBT origin of the Village
People disco hit, “YMCA?”
“Young man, there's no need to feel down
“I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
“I said, young man, 'cause you’re in a new town
“There's no need to be unhappy
“Young man, there's a place you can go
“I said, young man when you're short on your dough
“You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
“Many ways to have a good time.”
Because, when this song came out, he WAS young.
And now, he’s the oldest candidate to run for the office.
Freudian slip much, Sparky?
You’re kind of admitting that you’re sad, and broke.
My friend, Lost in Thought,
May have had his moniker “rhythmless nation” stolen,
With Propecia dead ferret head,
Bobbing and weaving like a rusty weathervane,
In a very public example of decomposition:
Definition: “Mental health decompensation is when a
person's mental health worsens, often due to stress, and they can no longer
maintain their normal functioning. It can occur when a person's coping
mechanisms fail to handle a new stressor, or when there are changes in
medication or treatment.”[1][2]
He thinks we control the weather:
Bro, we'd have trashed Mar a Lago with Helene weeks ago if we could!
He’s not the “father of IVF,” he’s the grand dragon of
abortion bans!
He doesn’t have a plan to solve the world’s complex problems.
Remember: He has “concepts of plans.”
For example, there was “Infrastructure Week,” which never happened.
He starts “weaving” when his mind loses the plot.
He would rather wave his hands and ignore problems.
He’d rather traffic in conspiracy theories than listen to
experts and take instructions.
His latest public pancake at the Chicago business forum with
Bloomberg editor John Micklethwait,[3]
He reminds anyone who ever taught any subject in high school,
When the student shows up unprepared and tries to bluff his
way through it.
He’s the kind who would pull a fire alarm, or phone in a bomb
threat to get out of taking a test.
Yet, the election is a “horse race,”
Because that’s how corporate media wants to frame it.
Between an overqualified woman, and a mentally disturbed
lightweight.
Don’t take anything for granted and opt out of voting.
Like the “purists” in 2016,
Did they know that 2020 and COVID-19 would happen?
The “purists” who pulled the lever for the wasted votes on
Gary “Aleppo” Johnson[4]
and Jill Stein,[5]
The latter appears to be back to cash her second check from
Putin and interfere with this election.
I have no idea what Cornel West is doing!
He decompensated for 39 minutes.
Because his mind terrifyingly couldn’t focus.
He was slurring before we all got to see his swaying dervish.
He knew he couldn’t talk anymore and opted for listening to
music.
He focused more when he launched a mob on the Capitol,
And sat on his ass for 187 minutes,
He was watching the destruction of our secular temple on flat
screens with DVR replay.
Because like pyromaniacs, he glees at watching everything
burn.
Has written about the connection between toxic yoga
instructors and conspiracy theories,
As stated in his observation on “X”:
“Him surrendering tonight's Q&A to 30 minutes
of his fave songs while standing on stage, awkwardly conducting at times,
echoes MANY instances of cultic leaders who, exhausted, ill, and at the end of
their cognitive rope, outsource their emotional dominance subroutines.”
Or, in this case, to music.
He promptly canceled a likely softball interview on CNBC.
Because he would be compared to his more qualified opponent who agreed to an interview on his (former) FAVORITE news outlet!
Because his mind is broken.
Yet, some want this broken man to have the nuclear codes.
He’s selling $60 Bibles MADE in China!
He’s selling $99 NFTs with his anatomy modified to superhero status!
He’s selling $400 sneakers that might as well be called “Air
Treason!”
He’s selling $100,000 watches, probably a good front for money laundering!
Taylor Swift wrote a 5 million dollar check for Helene
victims, but Mr. “I’m [really] rich” had his staff start a GoFundMe!
But: Don’t underestimate the Republican Party.
They will try to drag him across the finish line, Fugue State,[6]
or not.
And before he gets his narcissistic ticker-tape parade,
His hand-picked Vice President,
Will invoke the 25th Amendment,[7]
And install himself as President.
All the former “Party of Lincoln” cares about is power.
Despite his bluster, he’s aware that could happen.
Despite his bluster, he knows that he’s losing.
Despite his bluster, he’s worried that he’s going to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Check your registration.
Still vote, early if you can.
“A vote is a kind of prayer for the kind of world we desire for ourselves and [for] our children, and I think our prayers are stronger when we pray together.” Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock, Georgia
Vote for the future you want.
Vote for the climate.
Vote for humanity.
Vote for bodily autonomy.
Vote for IVF.
Vote for democracy.
Vote for “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Vote for Candi Miller[8] and Amber Nicole Thurman.[9]
E Pluribus Unum.
Thank you, Langston Hughes: We too, are Americans. Let’s DO this!
