One more screw up -- premature celebration


I guess maybe it takes more than an "OK I'll meet you" to get a Nobel Peace Prize.

Whether or not his reign in D.C. brings an indictment, an impeaching, or anything else. I think the retrospect of this guy's time in the oval office -- every bit of it -- would fit the comment usually attributed to Talleyrand  (but said by some other guy):
"It's worse than a crime -- it's a blunder."
 His blunder, because really he's a fuckup -- every deal he ever did involved getting away before the sheriff or the lynch mob got there  -- people believing he has all the money he says he has or that his threat of lawsuit will actually happen, or other threats more personally said -- or bankruptcy.

And our blunder -- for not getting around to ending the Slave State Perk called the Electoral College, for Democrats not recognizing that while Hillary could be a fine president, she didn't know how to do the poetry and dance of campaigning, not seeing their own lack of enthusiasm was pretty widespread: "Ok ok I'll vote for her," while the party itself conspired to stop Bernie -- for whom a lot of people were really cheering -- because they didn't realize Americans were willing to defy all logic and choose the person they loved. It wasn't only the Russians who took the choice out of the last election.

And to be honest, if Hillary had won, the insane opposition to her would have been suffocating -- maybe those white guys fear their mommies more than they fear an educated black man.
But at least we'd have a president who wasn't hell bent on destroying everything that fulfilled some of the American Dream for fairness and justice and civil rights and civil liberties and personal rights and liberties and clean waiter and air and medical care.
Things long time coming and only recently hard won.

There's a scene in a porn movie called Blow Off in which Ron Jeremy is a state congressman, and has sex with Lisa De Leeuw, at the end of which he looks at his watch and jumps up and says: "Got a meeting." She says, disparagingly: "Politicians." And he says in response: "Sure beats being a Republican."

It's a movie I watched to find the source of a quote from it, one I used on occasion referring to Poppa Trump:  "He's like a turkey stuffed with sexual indiscretions."

Nuff said.
