OctPoWriMo 2018: Day 13: National Disgrace

Copyright Geralt

Being kind is

What everyone should do

Do you?

You do not

Not do right

Right is might

Might you consider

Consider the absolute

Absolute power

Power corrupts

Corrupts when misused

Misused to abuse

Abuse those you see

See as less

Less than nothing

Nothing is what

What you discover

Discover within 

Within your rotten

Rotten, shriveled heart

Heart hard as stone

Stone over graves

Graves of those

Those who died

Died in vain

Vain sacrifice

Sacrifice for what

What but ambition

Ambition of soulless

Soulless rich men

Men who don't care

Care for anything

Anything but money

Money to buy

Buy the best tomb

Tomb to commemorate

Commemorate their lives

Lives full of lies

Lies always bellowing 

Bellowing forth

Forth from your mouth

Mouth always open

Open like a sewer

Sewer spewing waste

Waste of words

Words of deception

Deception of the masses

Masses left wanting

Wanting

Masses

Rest in Peace John McCain

August 29, 1936 - August 25, 2018

I didn't always agree with his politics, but I felt that he was a genuinely kind and noble soul. He was smart and compassionate, and he didn't back down from a fight. He didn't toe the party line, which sometimes earned him flak from other members of his party. He had grit. I liked him.

Rest in peace, good Sir.

How past crimes may drive job seekers into poverty

Lord Dampnut and Omarosa: The Bloom is Off the Rose

Juan Williams: A man who was evidently abducted by aliens 40 years ago and only recently returned to Earth, as evidenced by his shock at Lord Dampnut's foul behavior

When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!

How shocking that Pussy-Grabber 45 would refer to someone in a dehumanizing way. I'm so shocked.
Actually, I'm not shocked. You're not shocked. Nobody's shocked. Enough with the fake outrage. It doesn't take a damn psychic or political analyst to predict that a shitty person will behave in shitty ways, particularly when that shitty person is none other than Putin's lap dog, Lord Dampnut.

However, there is a certain platitude about rats jumping a sinking ship which seems appropriate to use here. When even Faux News is "shocked" by Lord Dampnut's behavior, it seems to me that the dumpster fire is getting higher.

Don't say I didn't warn you back when this schmuck was nominated that electing him would be a disaster.

When the High School Bully and the Fashion Club Chick are In Charge

Seriously, is Melania Trump sixteen and trying to defy her parents by refusing to wear those stuffy outfits that they put out for her? I kind of hope so, because it would really be embarrassing if a nearly fifty-year-old, high-profile representative of the United States Government were wearing a trashy coat that looks like she got it off the clearance rack at Hot Topic.

As for Lord Dampnut, never before has there been a President who had Twitter tantrums and launched into personal attacks every time someone said something potentially negative about him. He needs detention. For real, if this fake president ever ends up in jail where he belongs, I will celebrate big time.

The United States looks a little bit something like this to the rest of the world these days.

Happy Fourth of July anyway.

Stay strong, try to keep the faith.

Class vs. Ass: First Lady Edition

These first ladies have something in common.

None of them ever would have worn this classless and deliberately inflammatory article of clothing.

Melania Trump could have chosen to present herself with dignity and grace.

Instead she chose to look like a petulant teenager trying to defy authority.

The boorish tRump family: truly a shame on our nation.

Evangelicals: Vindictive and Scary

When I was in junior high, I had a friend whose family was part of the Cult of Christ (Church of Christ). I went with her a few times and couldn't do it anymore. I was a devout Catholic at that point in my life, but I thought these people were extremists. It ruined the friendship when I said I didn't want to come to her church's events anymore. She started spreading nasty rumors about me as revenge. 

I've found in my life that these kinds of people are very vindictive and often two-faced. If you aren't with them, you're against them. It's impossible to agree to disagree.
