No matter how many times I pinch myself, I can’t seem to wake up. What Representative Green did was wrong. But sometimes, there is a time to be wrong. Rosa Parks was wrong, right? When wrong is right in the face of evil. Al Green is the hero and those who did the “right thing” were cowards.
The King’s rambling masturbatory speech would have been much more the enjoyable event. If Democrats had in their turn shouted down the King, one by one and were escorted out by the Sargent at Arms. Stupid childish Republicans voted to censure Green. But under the belief that wrong is actually right, the Republicans had actually voted to make Green a folk hero and a household name.
That speech would have been way more fun approaching the fourth hour. Sometime right after the fiftieth or sixtieth Democratic Representative had stood up interrupted, created ruckus and were escorted out. The Republicans would lose their minds around one AM. A monstrous pile of paperwork for Republican leadership censuring EVERYBODY! “Screaming hollering and fist shaking. Meanwhile, the King asks for the fiftieth- or sixtieth-time way past his bedtime “Where was I?” Up late for an old man. Long time to just stand there watching the riot unfold. So hard to get a rhythm going. Almost anticipating the next interruption.
Millions of frightened Americans at home might have gotten the idea that the Democrats were willing to fight for them tooth and nail. The message the King would have received was not “No!” but “Hell No!” We’re not going away quietly. It would have segued nicely with overflow town halls and angry peasants with torches and pitchforks.
The cuts they have planned are monstrous and criminal and the reason behind them is even worse. Women, children, old people. From the brain surgeon to cop on the beat a complete upheaval of society just so the wealthy can have still MORE! That sounds like a mortal threat to humanity. At least, that’s what the rest of the world thinks. I saw a news head from Montana discuss the “pros and cons” of 80,000 job cuts at the VA. Duh, there are no pros. She was a lying Quisling working for the King. Maybe, Putting your grandfather to death is a good thing! Did you ever think of that?
The King wants to cut the throat of public education and return the money to the states to squander and waste however they wish. In Arizona, you might as well just flush it down the toilet. The oligarchs sense your coming obsolescence. They anticipate computers will do everything someday soon and humans and their pesky paychecks and health issues can be dispensed with.
It is really no different than when the Nazis took over and began a program of Euthanasia. The sick and the handicapped would be “better off.” Oh, it has nothing to do with money, “we’re helping them!” Only this time, instead of lethal injection lethal abandonment. Veterans denied medical treatment until they die. “Thank you for your Service,” now fuck off. Jeffie needs a new yacht.
Tens of thousand of Section eight evictions. Homeless population swelling as landlords suddenly find themselves tenantless. And no one is ever going to rent the property without assistance. If you cut $80 billion from Medicaid, what does the doctor do for a living? Where do the doctors work after the hospitals close? Where do researchers work once their grants are cancelled? Who will buy all those new school busses when the schools don’t have to anymore? When the local government has to pay the full cost of a police car or a fire station. Will new drugs and treatments fall from American skies? Because those who have much, need more. And they’ve decided to make you pay for it. And if you don’t, they’ll kill you and take it anyway. [First Warning!]
A government which works against the interest of the governed, isn’t a government at all, it’s a criminal conspiracy. Threatening to kill millions of your fellow citizens, starve children and deny civil rights is your [Second WARNING!]
The foolhardy who smile and laugh without realizing they’re next on the menu. All bets are off, and they don’t care if you’re unhappy. They’re going to take your lollipop away and give it to the Bezos’s and the Musk ilk.
The line is drawn, and the curse is cast. What sort of world do you want to live in from now on? What are you willing to do for it? Understand the war has already begun. You no longer have a choice, you’re drafted. You’re either for the King or against him. If you are for the King, you are a blood enemy of mine and I will laugh joyously at your coming downfall and destruction.
This is a criminal government which far exceeds the provisions of the Declaration of Independence towards removal. This is not normal! The King must go! Period! End of Story!
“… What about the main thing in life, all its riddles? If you want, I'll spell it out for you right now. Do not pursue what is illusionary -property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade and is confiscated in one fell night. Live with a steady superiority over life -don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn for happiness; it is, after all, all the same: the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing. It is enough if you don't freeze in the cold and if thirst and hunger don't claw at your insides. If your back isn't broken, if your feet can walk, if both arms can bend, if both eyes can see, if both ears hear, then whom should you envy? And why? Our envy of others devours us most of all. Rub your eyes and purify your heart -and prize above all else in the world those who love you and who wish you well. Do not hurt them or scold them, and never part from any of them in anger; after all, you simply do not know: it may be your last act before your arrest, and that will be how you are imprinted on their memory.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
