The Long Road Out

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...

Google is now one of the largest defense contractors in the US. Do no harm my ass. This from a country that doesn’t honor its contracts with a president who litigates rather than paying bills. A sleazy company, a bad business deal with a shitty government partner, more lying.
