Basta! Enough! Maspik! Genuck! Spanish, English, Hebrew, Yiddish. The same thing. The same needs. The desperate cries of enough already; how much more, now much farther will you go in the name of destruction of this country? Nine weeks after the election and here I am, still sitting here in the dark, writing alone in the wee hours of the nite, worrying, fretting, nervous as hell, untrusting of all reassurances otherwise, that this demented man, this fascist and his fascistic comrades, his partners in crime, will finally pull the last foundational brick out and down we will go, like a losing game of Jenga. Only this is no game and there is no reset.
The utter gall, the utter treason, the treasonous President who was never ever my president, all have conspired to make a coup no different than those of any banana republic Third world country or, for that matter, the takeover of Hitler and the political shenanigans of Putin, Trump's BFF. The thought that we could be at the last gasps moments of American democracy, the rotten and ugly end to a noble experiment in human history, I just feel as if there is no end, no answer, no cure and no hope.
Sorry, but all the reassurances that the courts have spoken, that the suits are all bogus, that the lawyers need professional rebukes and discipline, that legally, Trump et al are stymied in their efforts, that Pence will not, cannot, legally, refuse to open the envelopes and count the electoral ballots - well, since when does this administration work with legal in mind? The answer to that is a resounding Never!!Ever!! Basta!!! Enough!!
The Devil's Spawn chuckles away in Georgia when asked about his behavior come Wednesday. The brown shirts of Hitler have morphed into the Proud Boys, all ready and charged up to do their Fuhrer's bidding - come to DC, the capital of the nation and run amok. Have fun and not to forget, "I will be there." And the blood will flow. Will the police do their jobs? Will troops be called out? Will the anti fa and basically all democracy supporters clash, Civil War redux with exponential violence and bloodshed and consequences? Or will the Capitol Police be called in to drag Pence the traitor out, replacing him with Grassley and let the country get on with its business. Ask me, well, I have no faith anymore in the right thing. No more.
The answer the deluded, dangerously deluded and implicitly aiding and abetting Trumpites answer all claims of horror at his statements, his efforts to overturn the election, his criminal conversation with Georgia, one of many criminal acts of his during his most awful term in office - well, their answer is that all politicians are inherently no good, evil at heart and the Democrats are no angels. What a fallacious statement. If there are robbers, thieves, gangbangers and white collar crooks galore in a city, does that make it okay to make excuses for the next one who joins in the party or does he have to pay for his own individual sins? The answer is obvious, but not to Trumpites, those deluded pathetic beings. Those dangerous creatures who keep on their blindfolds, and like the deluded cave dwellers of Plato, think the false, dark shadowed world they live in is the real world and misinterpret everything.
We have so many real problems, almost unsolvable problems that must be tackled, a mess left from and because of Trump and his incompetent bunch of criminals, and we have no more time to waste on his treason. Lock HIM up and throw away the key. How much more can he be allowed to endanger this country, to actually, possibly, succeed in staging a coup? In my head - quite a possibility and that keeps me up at night.
COVID-19 and all variants of it. The busted economy. The crisis of a society left to rot for four years. A population so heavily divided that one doubts that it can ever be realigned fairly. People are being evicted, going hungry, jobless, hopeless, children suffering, here in America - and an apartment in Tribeca sells for $37 million dollars. There is something very wrong in that, very, very, wrong. China. Iran. The Middle East. Genocide on an ongoing basis. Russian interference in our elections and invasions of our computer infrastructure. Climate change. Environmental change. Floods and droughts. Ocean flooding and increased desertification. Too much population to feed and water. Too much greed and incompetence. So much wrong and so little right.
Alex Trebek spoke to his audience after death via a prepared speech for his last few games he hosted. He asked for a kinder, gentler world, for all to reach out. But today, while there are those who do indeed reach out, there are too few who do so in a friendly and helping hand manner but rather have arms and weapons in those outreaching, grasping hands.
I was so hopeful when Biden won. I thought I would be able to stop worrying so, along with so many others who thought as I did. Today, we are all waiting for the Inauguration and G-d willing, and people willing, a peaceful transfer of power, proper indictment and trials of all these crooks and traitors, including Trump and Pence, Pompeo and Barr and all the rest. But will it be? Will it happen? Will we be able to turn our attention to where it so desperately needs to go or will these demented souls continue to push and shove and lie and fight for that which is not there? Which is not theirs.
I would so much rather be a Pollyanna than a Cassandra, but the times rule and I hear the voice of Cassandra, the warnings she spoke of, and I so hope they begin to fade as of today with a defeat of two creeps in Georgia, a certification already of Biden's win, tomorrow, and an Inauguration on Jan 20. I hope, I pray, I worry, I wonder.
