The Long Road Out

Just got a call from my divorce lawyer at 6 AM my time…to let me know my email isn’t working (it’s working fine…) and that my ex-wife’s law firm is stealing money from my 401k which doesn’t really exist anymore.  My lawyer hasn’t mastered the idea that California is on a different time zone, or that her firm’s email system has some flaws apparently.   Anyway, it’s sunny here in California…and my cats are happily playing by some of my flowering plants by the window.  Life is kind of OK…why does news of my manipulative and sad sack and fundamentally unattractive ex cause me to consider suicide?  I’m not even clinically depressed anymore and I have lots of reasons to feel OK about myself now that I don’t have the daily reminders of hatred from Mina.   I know it’s a joke to blame everything on Trump, but this country is such a shit show now and I see Mina as an essential part of the rape of North America.  Same narcissist...

My ex for instance. Trump, who swims in the deepest putrid self-reflecting pools. A few others. People who just want the spotlight. Any spotlight. For those in similar situations—join with me in remembering: 1. Past memories are ruined. You can’t heal from them. 2. You can’t have your own present when a performer is manipulating you. There’s no happy compromise for now. 3. The future—you’re kidding, right? Why waste your future on a fraudulent and depreciating asset? Change the locks. Hit delete. Save your beautiful self. Share all that previously wasted love with someone who will be there when you’re in trouble again.

Look at our moron go---he passed a “count backwards in increments of seven” test and he thinks he’s a genius!   At exactly 12:35 in the morning, unable to sleep, the President of the United States went on Truth Social to announce that he had scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on what he called a “high difficulty” cognitive test proving his “extreme intelligence.” But the test he was bragging about, the MOCA, is not an IQ test. It is a dementia screening tool that healthy adults are expected to pass without difficulty. Healthy, confident leaders do not spend their Saturday nights bragging that they passed a dementia screen and calling it genius.   Reese points out that this is the fourth time he’s taken the same test, with the same questions.  He’s 120 for 120!    But he can’t remember the first three exams.  Oops.  F on that one, Don.  Dimwit.  

Anyone who has spent time with elderly relatives or visited a nursing home know that paranoia and “whining” are common parts of the late aging process. Often with a strong dose of angry denial. I empathize with the aging. Trump calls to mind this explosion of impotent rage. As in “do not go quietly into the dark night.” What a sulky pouting piece of shit—this old man. He’s spending 50% of his life creating AI generated memes of himself. In the past, we called this “art class at the eldercare community.” Mar A Lego. Our aging friends and family deserve our love. So don’t waste any of your love on this sad sack loser. Turn to those who need you now and let Trump fizzle out in his own bile. Your life will improve and you’ll receive love back.

Is anyone paying attention?  Trump is self-negotiating (masturbating?) a deal on the war he invented.    The starting point of these self-proclaimed negotiations (announced by Trump, not by Iran where the leaders correctly think Don’s a pathetic pawn) is vastly WORSE than the existing Obama deal he violated last time around.   And the negotiations don’t start for weeks or years…if ever.  Donald Trump’s best outcome is far worse than the “no nukes” global agreement what he personally reneged on in 2017.    How many more will he murder to get this lousy, atrocious, sleazy outcome?  This isn’t one of his mob deals in New Jersey.  This isn’t bankrupting concrete suppliers.  This is murder.   Now no one in Iran respect the US. The war destroyed the opposition by making the alternative to the Ayatollahs worse. We won’t see Iranian protests again for decades th...

Have you seen a video or picture of Donald the last few weeks? The guy has aged 10 years. His face is even puffier. He’s slouching more. And he’s slurring words and unable to finish sentences. A toddler with dementia? Look at his sycophants. Do you think a single one of them would confront their own parent about mental collapse? Narcissists don’t have time for aging parents. They need to check themselves in the mirror because they’re perfect. Sick people don’t interest them. Like all who suffer a stroke, or rapid aging, Don’s range of topics has reduced to one: his own victimization. His need for validation. Recently—all the cognitive tests fake doctors have given him. He’ll always be daddy to his supporters, even as he continues to ignore and insult them. But for those of us who believe Trump has always been a crooked sick King Lear, he’s worse now. We never loved him so there’s no empathy lost as we watch a guy who should be in elder care drool in front of...
