Hungover?

The (Decades Long) Hangover...                   Photo: © Stan Banos

Enjoy the celebration yesterday? Feeling a tad... hungover?  No doubt at least in part because of Human Flotsam Like This, and the above, and that despite the marginal move towards sanity by a small majority of Americans, the other half is not going away, and is now more aggrieved and belligerent than ever. I certainly wouldn't be surprised by some very ugly shoot 'em ups by said faction on behalf of their forever wronged and assumedly entitled cult leader leading up to, during and after the upcoming inauguration.  

Thankfully, I am looking forward to: a POTUS whose countless aides and underlings will not have to interpret, reinterpret and set into readily understandable language what he really meant to say (Or as they themselves are so fond of telling certain people- "Speak English- or go back where you came from!")- only to have it (re)reversed the following day, week, month into the lie or disinformation it always was. I'll take an occasional stutterer over an habitual liar any given day of the year...

No longer will I have to slap myself upside the head each and every time I see, hear or read yet another outrage that HE was freely allowed to get away with, without the slightest of consequence: bragging about grabbing, boasting of his ability to shoot people with impunity, mocking those with disabilities, inciting violence at rallies, calling a newscaster a murderer, calling the military "losers and suckers," choosing Russian Intel over American, and just constantly making up the wildest, craziest, fuckin' shit your Mama ever did hear- Windmills cause cancer! Anyone of which would have had Obama lynched on the White House lawn.

But... No one really knows what will happen next. And though I wish him all the luck, Congenial Joe's gonna get blocked at every turn by Moscow Mitch, same as it ever was. Will the Repubs continue their meteoric nosedive towards fascist insanity without their spearhead at the helm? And what, Oh What won't free agent Trump be willing to trade in the way of national secrets to make his life easier, or use as leverage to avoid The Big House? 

The head just throbs. See ya's at... The Concession Speech!
