I got to stop reading the news

If only this was a poem
If only humans were really obsolete instead of obscene
But it is so much fun to fuck there will always be more of us
Yes, Saint Jack was right pretty girls make graves but he was a bit of a misogynist because we all know daddy’s home
That's why refugee camps are full of babies
In the meantime, Stalin and Hitler are well and thriving back in the USSR & D.C.

Perhaps the only true dignity of man is his capacity to despise himself.— The Ethics of Spinoza.

Me too. It's consistently pissing me off.

I have not lost my sense of humor yet. Your poems help me hang on Thanks for writting, keep up the good work.

You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.

In the meantime the funny pages cheer me up.

Oligarchs, fascists and bears, oh my! Almost makes me want to revisit some of those ideas about the Wizard of Oz as allegory and/or the misappropriation of "populism" and such.

...or "freedom". Freedom to do whatever the F you want, freedom to pee & poop in the public water supply, freedom to be an inconsiderate dick. "Hey, I know my rights!"

No. You don't.

The (relatively) new billionaire class wants us to believe that government, ie the public sector, is obsolete and needs to be eventually demolished and replaced. At least a couple of them are right now actively trying to destroy said public sector to help speed up the process.

They're not entirely wrong. Government has had its issues with waste and fraud, no doubt, but why not just try to fix these issues instead of just tearing down the whole thing?

Also, when my phone comes on with its "trending searches," why isn't "Trump, Russia" coming up every single time? We haven't heard the last of that connection.

trending searches

Citizens United
Defined the 2024 Election

Moscow Mitch
has suddenly grown a conscience

This is one trending seearch that we have heard the last of.
'How much did the Iraq war cost?
2 trillion dollars.




After the shit storm hits one thing I know for sure, it will not be the fault of the republican oligarcs. Dam pesky liberals will be blamed. Trump tried to save us but he was thwarted by the parasite class.

You ever hear of these folks?

I knew something was rotten from the start, election night 2016, when we heard about those Russian officials-- Putin and Co.-- celebrating. I'd heard that Trump was trying to build one of his golden phallic structures in Moscow, so I wondered if those dots could be connected. I mentioned this recently to my sis (NOT a Trump supporter), and she dismissed it as "Oh, that's SO 2016," as if somehow irrelevant. I don't understand some of my fellow countrypeople in recent years-- sometimes even the ones I agree with!

Was it Bismark who said believe nothing untill you hear the first denial?
