Family Affair

Holy Jesus, Batman.
So we hear about evangelical Christians, but what the hell is the family.

Perhaps we now know the final link in the chain of mass hysteria. The family references a group of white, super wealthy religious fellows who have methodically worked toward a world order which follows their philosophy that only rich people are entitled to live free and dictate how everyone else lives based on a narrow Christian epistemology. That sounds like a fun group.

If you enjoy being dictated to by a bunch of holier than thou nut cases, the family is not taking new members. Sorry. Born to be wild.

So now we know why the evangelicals cleave to Trump. I confess to never having heard of the family but it sounds like the all powerful Roman Catholic Church in its heyday. The clergy were always well compensated for their proximity to God. The pomp and opulence was an essential element to creating the illusion of exclusivity. Blinded by the light. Power is intoxicating. Combine it with religious determinism and money and the gravitational pull becomes irresistible. But ultimately, they are driven by the desire to bring the word of god to heathens. Insert laughter here. So clinically insane a group are they that they refer to dictators, oligarchs, presidents as “wolf kings”. The title is more than earned and denotes respect, adoration, and most importantly, a means to an end.

So, the wolf pup of the hour is Trump. His gesture to the heavens, proclaiming himself “the chosen one” is no joke, no tongue in cheek, but a slip. Make no mistake, the family had a hand in guaranteeing Trump’s ascension to the presidency, whether by direct donation or by seeing to the corruption of the voting systems. Russia is a diversion, no less culpable, but a bait and switch to make certain the family cannot be implicated.

The major news organizations need to grab this by the balls and squeeze until one of these assholes pops out. And then, somehow, the spell held over the weak minded among us must be broken. “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do”.

No shit.

How Many Roads

Must a man walk down before you call him a racist…or a useful idiot…or a willing participant in the undermining of American democracy. How many.

I witnessed a casino dealer go from the rack to her back pocket without clearing her hands and somehow there is doubt she was stealing.

Believe your eyes and ears and trust your instincts. There is thievery afoot at the highest levels of our government and somehow there is doubt. Another mass shooting today and somehow there is doubt that the biggest mouthpiece in America is fomenting class and racial war.

How many roads.

How much hand wringing and Spanish speaking is enough to cure this sickness. It is sickening to see dear leader express sympathy to people he not only despises but wishes would just disappear. And the guy who shot up the Walmart today in El Paso both knows that and embraces the misogyny.

How many roads.

Moscow Mitch. Leningrad Lindsey. Teflon Don. A vile and hateful group bent on the destruction of our democracy for the sole purpose of enriching themselves. Sick and sad and terrifying.

How many roads?
