DAMMIT DOLLS

     Just received a great gift from family visitors - a dammit doll, a great substitute for frustration and upset. It has orange skin, weird hair, wears a dark suit and a red tie, so...… Uh huh it is exactly that and so much fun when one is frustrated at yet another idiocy foisted upon us by the Chief Idiot. Pick up the doll, shout dammit and slam it down. Repeat as needed. Ahhhhhhh.
      Would that it truly is that easy to get rid of all this frustration, anger, despair and concern. The man is obviously - hopefully - melting down in private even as he continues his war on the country as he throws his dangerous tantrum for his ridiculous wall. Dammit! Slam! Slam again.
     His ridiculous party, once known as the Republican Party, the distinguished party of Lincoln and now the stooge party, is trying, at least some of them, to regain some sanity and some spine, but they are still a long way away from where we need them to be. Now we have the Simon Legree of the government ordering workers back to work, but no pay. So.....slavery. Never mind that now they are told they will be getting backpay. They need the money now. So does the economy. So do their kids. Promises, promises, but in the meanwhile we have reality.
      I truly hate extremism on any side, but it behooves us to listen to words of truth when they are stated forthrightly. I disagree with much of what Ocasio - Rodriguez puts forth, but out of the mouth of babes: "It is actually not about a wall, it is not about the border, and it is certainly not about the well-being of everyday Americans," the congresswoman said. "The truth is, this shutdown is about the erosion of American democracy and the subversion of our most basic governmental norms."
       The man is a dammit magnet. Slam!!! And while it is a lot of fun watching the Dark Force meltdown, as we watch them turn to books and blame everyone else but themselves, as they try to relieve Trump of responsibility, the poor man, so put upon by all his lousy folks that he handpicks! 
"President Donald Trump employs a "revolving door of deeply flawed individuals — amateurs, grifters, weaklings, convicted and unconvicted felons — who were hustled into jobs they were never suited for, sometimes seemingly without so much as a background check via Google or Wikipedia," Christie, who was a senior adviser to Trump's 2016 campaign, says" .       Slam!!!!!
       We have soldiers being killed by bombs in a land where we have supposedly beaten ISIS. Uh huh. So says Trump. So says the Devil's Spawn, Pence. Hey, anyone have a doll that resembles him? Could be useful. If the Pinocchio nose were true to its supposed words, all in this administration and all who support him would be walking around with noses double the size of Cyrano! Think of that sight!
      Meanwhile, the world and our country go careening down the path of fate, of stupidity, of danger. And not looking forward to the speech of the Demented One on Jan. 29, as he uses yet another opportunity- which should not be - to push his asinine program and his dangerous goals, even as he continues to push into the role of the judiciary with appointments of racists and bigots, of incompetent and unprincipled people and how he is gloating about Ruth Bader Ginsburg! Dang it. I would carry her around myself for that woman is our last hope for any sanity to prevail over the next four decades. Pray for her health, her stamina, her determination and let us hope she outlasts that man. Slam!!!
     People, we are living in a dangerous time, a time of true existential danger to our country, to our democracy. It behooves all of us to push the truth and condemn the lies and the liars, the moral cowards. Over a decade for the Republicans to finally mention Steve King and his ugliness of the soul. But for the recent election, they supported him whole hog. Go ask McConnell why he did that. As for me, I know the answer. They are soulless and cruel people, selling all and everything down the river all so as to maintain power - which they cede anyway to the Demented One. These are not great stewards for the country, for the people. Not at all.
        DAMMIT! SLAM!!! SLAM!!!!! SLAM!!!!
