Stop The Viruse: Hide From Trump! #metoo

 

So I've been hiding in the closet since Tuesday night, the night of the presidential debate between Donald J Trump and Joe Biden.  It was a nightmare.  I grew up in a dysfunctional house where my stepdad beat my mom.  In the picture that I began today's blog with you'll see my mom on the left with her bruised face.  So you see the reason for my emotional distress after watching Donald Trump verbally abuse everyone in the room at the debate.  When I was a kid and my stepdad would hit mom I would hide in the closet for safety, since Tuesday's debate I've been doing the same. 

 

 

Sitting in that closet I had time to think about all the other presidential debates that have happened in my lifetime and the famous statements made:

"We can no longer afford to be second best..."  JFK to Nixon in 1960.

"There you go again." Ronald Reagan to Jimmy Carter in 1980.

"Will you shut up man?" Joe Biden to Donald Trump in 2020. 

To top matters off yesterday Trump was medivac to the hospital with the virus he once said was a "Democrat ploy." That's not all he did that screams of Karma retribution.  Trump has downplayed it since day one and refused to protect the country from its harms by saying things like "It will magically go away."

Still, I wish Trump the best.  This morning I chanted for his quick recovery along with wishing he would see the light and start acting out of love.  I know it is in him.  It's in us all. 

 

 

Stop The Virus.

 

Hide From Trump.

 

Instant Karma (We All Shine On)

by John Lennon

 

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

I'm Joining the Angry White Guy Club.

I haven't posted in a few days.  And why for not?  Or is that, what for you?   Seems my mind has gone Donald Trump; that place where reality doesn't matter, for truth is what I say it is, not what it is.   In other words, I've had enough.  I'm checking out.  This is my last post ever.  Nothing I say matters.  Nothing I do matters.  There is no desire in this country for truth, love, peace.  The things I admire the most in the world.  The people in control suck, there's no doubt, but would it be better if say another class of people were in charge?  No, because the majority of people suck.  The majority of the people only care about themselves.  Right now, we're down on the white men who own everything and want to continue to do so.  Here's the shit:  if the majority was brown or black it wouldn't be no different for they would slant things in their favor too, it's the truth.  I've been in communities of color and they believe their shit doesn't stink just like the gray-headed man with his polo shirt and his over pasteurized wife standing in from of their million-dollar home with guns.  My neighbor is Puerto Rican and loves him some Trump.  He can't afford healthcare for his Stay-at-Home wife and blames it on Obama Care.  Nothing I tell him can change this.  As a wedding videographer I've done Jewish, Muslim, Mexican, and Hindu weddings.  In these groups there are nice people, but if you pay close attention, there is still the same breakdown of the selfish, greedy, my-way-or-the-highway types in those people as there are in the mean-old white guys running the world today.  

My message to everyone:  stop attacking other tribes, look at your own.  Do you really think it will be any better when the brown man/woman is in control of everything?  No, the haves will protect their wealth and those of us with hearts and souls to care will die inside every morning trying to make a difference, when there is no difference.  Donald Trump is the ruler we deserve.  I give up.  He wins.  I'm not voting.  If he wants it that bad he can have it.  

And to you who think you're making a difference, suck my Peter Built, I've gone rogue.  I'm getting my own and becoming an angry white man because I know you'll do the same when you win the birth lottery.  

People suck: end of story.

Twelve More Years, They Win!

 Twelve more years!  That is what they yelled at Donald Trumps last rally.  The last and only president to serve twelve years was Franklin D Roosevelt.  The guy who gave us the New Deal.  Before the New Deal, no one had health insurance when they retired.  No one had unemployment insurance.  No one had a Social Security check when they retired.   There were the “Haves” and “Have Nots.”  If you haven’t gotten it yet, that is what is at stake here.  The Trump followers we think are “Racist” are actually part of the Reagan plan to destroy all social programs.  The Republicans are being told this in secret.  This is why they are going along with Crazy Trump.  They are all in on it, at least a 3rd of the Democrats and all of the Republicans.  So get ready.  They win!  

Some pictures of life before the New Deal.  Enjoy. 

 

 

The 'nalds of Democracy

 

So much to write about but not enough to say.  That's the matrix-glitch we are entering.  Donald Trump is hosting the Republican National Convention without... Republicans.  Well, at least, without goodhearted Republicans.  On the first day of the RNC more than 2 dozen former Republicans have come out and said they will vote for Joe Biden.  These aren't fickle people either.  Among the list are former Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona and former Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania.    On the list is also my former mayor Steve Bartlett who was a Reagan "Trickle-Down" guy: the thought of him voting Democrat makes my head spin to say the least.

 

The Bartlett Family with Ronald Tax-Cut Reagan.  

  

This really reminds me of the 80's when Democrats were jumping ship from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party like woman and children being tossed into life boats on the Titanic.  The list is over fifty names with the most notable at the time being Senator Phil Gram of Texas who resigned as a Democrat Senator and then ran as a Republican and won his seat back.   Gram was one of many who were doing it: Condoleezza Rice switched from Democrat to Republican in 1982, that same year Eugene Atkinson switched from Democrat to Republican after a phone call with Ronald Reagan; and probably the most notable of all, Mike Pence.  That's right, Mr. Anti-Abortion guy himself voted for Jimmy Carter over Ronald Reagan in 1980, but then saw the tide shift from Less Government to the More Christian Right's and got on the winning side.  It was a hard time to understand for this young liberal guy trying to carry the flag of equal rights and fair distribution of wealth. 

I lived through that conservative shift where I saw the country go from "Marijuana will be legal in a year," under Jimmy Carter, to "Just say 'no'" under Ronald Reagan.  I saw "worker's rights" go to "right to work" without a union; I saw "separation of church and state" to protect all faiths,  go to "this is a Christian country, only."  And most disturbingly, I saw "fiscally conservative" go to "cut taxes and increase debt to blame on social programs."  It really is that simple.  Ronald Reagan had a plan to increase the debt so much we would have to cut social programs.  He called it "starving the beast."  Under Ronald Reagan we had our first Peace Time deficit over a trillion dollars, and no one talked about it.  Fortunately, the Dot Boom craze came under President Clinton and the budget was balanced again, and social programs were saved.  Then came along Bush 43 and he created another debt disaster and had finally achieved Ronald Reagan's plan.  Fortunately for the USA, Bush 43 was from a moderate background and couldn't let the country go through the breakdown they had planned to kill Social Security; and instead of letting it all fail, as planned, Bush let the Democrat Party save his ass with a bailout.  Of course, President Obama put us back on track and turned over a functioning, growing economy to our current president who has finally found a way to break everything so bad we are seriously thinking of cutting all social programs from the post office to social security. 

Yes, it all began with Ronald Reagan and ends with Donald Trump, the 'nalds of democracy I call them.

God has had enough and wants His Republican Party back.

 

So here we are in our world filled with changes.  So many I know not where to start.  Okay, how about here:  Melania Trump has changed the rose garden from a colorful array of brightness and light, to a sombre display of dark macabre to match her husbands darkness.   Obviously she knows his days in office are numbered.  She knows his crazy karma is why 2 hurricanes are landing on the USA tomorrow and that the asteroid I have been warning you about that the gods are sending to warn us not to reelect the dark-knight-is-Satan's Army to a second term, is now on target to hit Washing DC this November. 

Last night I was awakened by the dream of an angry cat snarling at me.  I awoke just as it had leaped for my head.  I knew then that I had better get back on track with the reality of this Trump thing.  The reality that not only will love and decency come back to America when he and his Knights In Satan's Army are gone, but when the beautiful conservative people wake up and join hands with us liberals to finally end poverty and inequality in the world.  It's happening.  I know I say a lot of bad things about Republicans, but there was a time I didn't.  A time when the Republican was not an NRA Quake-Anon.  They believed in less government, but also, good government.  They believed social problems were best left to the states, not the Supreme Court.  They were good people but were pushed out as Moderates by the NRA, Tape-Her-Legs-Together wackos.  The NRA Quake-Anon nuts now totally rule the Republican Party.  That's sad.  And, that's why a massive asteroid and numerous hurricanes are headed straight for us:  God has had enough and wants His party back.  

Here is a photo of Melania's Knights In Satan's Army Rose Garden:

It looks like it belongs in one of Mussolini's fascist buildings. 

 

House built by Mussolini looks like a good fit for Melania's Rose Garden.

 Since I've taken a break from the political scene, I've begun a new cartoon series.  Enjoy:

The faith of Dr TV Boogie-aka Eso Terry

What I want to talk with you about today is religion, good religion.  As you know I'm a Lotus Sutra Buddhist who believes in the Mystic Law.  It works for me.  We believe in equal-rights and peace, I'm down with that.  I'm a member of the Soka Gakai and our first president died in a Japanese prison for refusing to fight in WWII.  After the devastation of the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan in WWII, the Soka Gakai took a stance against nuclear weapons, and our current president has cornered the world talking with leaders about disarming all nukes. And if that isn't enough, we are proud of our diversity which includes all nationalities and LGBTQ groups as well.   So don't expect a room filled with Asian monks in orange and yellow robes, it's not that kind of Buddhism. 

We believe there is a Mystic Law taught by Shakyamuni, the original Buddha, over 2500 years ago.  This law is nothing new, in a lot of ways it is similar to the positive message you see on The Secret TV series; only our transformation isn't just a feel-good-for-a-few hours movie,  it is a way of life.  We chant the Mystic Law twice a day, and for me, this has changed my life. 

So this is how I'm avoiding the news of President Trump and Mitch McConnell.  Instead of letting their bigot, hypocritical ways bug me, I chant that they will come to find the Buddha within them and begin working for world peace, equal rights, and social justice.  I really think they can change for the better.  

 Now, that's faith.

Alien Abduction Is Our Only Chance For Suvival.

 If you would have told me that the day would come when I was living in a country where postponing a presidential election was a possibility, I would have told you it wouldn't be the USA.    Of course, this was before Donald Trump.  Now, anything is possible, I mean, ANYTHING!  Not to be an alarmist, but has anyone given any thought to the fact that this guy, the clowns clown, is in command of the greatest stock pile of nuclear weapons on the planet?   Hello, if you’re out there alien saviors, come help us now.  

 

The Aliens Dance to their plan to save the planet from Donald Trump.

 

They came from a distant planet where people are equal and the rich don't own you. 

 

Of course with their high technological advances, it only took seconds. 

 

They find the bunker where the crazy man with all the bombs lives. 

 

They find him tweeting in his living room. 

 

Hooray!!! They abduct him and the world is a safe place again.  

I watched Donald Trump yesterday.  He is so easy to read it is scary.  He just wants to be the center of attention.  Period.  That’s why he will do everything he can to stay the center of attention, and when he loses the election this November, there will be hell to pay.  His world will be over and so will ours if someone doesn't rescue us from this egomaniac. 

Giving the spineless Republicans who are backing him, I'm praying for an Alien abduction to save our planet; it's our best hope now. 

 

Evil World Leaders Put Evil Madness Hex on Crazy White Guy.

I consulted with my Chinese Fortune Sticks, the oldest form of fortune telling in the world, this morning.  I wished that Donald Trump loses the election this November.  The sticks said:  “You’re wish will come when you least expect it.” 

Then I asked about the bomb and got: “A light person very jealous will bring a quarrel soon.”

So, my reading of the sticks are as such:

 Expect a confrontation with a “jealous” world leader before the election, that's right, a war.  We're f**ked.  You heard it here first sports fans.

Rainbow

So I'm still avoiding the Trump madness by focusing on better things, better people, better days to come.  In doing so I have been hitting my Buddhist studies hard.  Today's instruction is from the "Rainbow of Hope" chapter in The Human Revolution. 

No matter how deep the darkness (Trump), no matter how fiercely the winds (Republican Enablers) blow, I hope you will keep a rainbow of hope in your hearts and advance in high and indomitable spirits.

A rainbow is a symbol of hope, ideals and lofty intentions.  And faith is the source of all of these.

Okay, I know what you're thinking "What kind of Buddhism is that?"  To which I say, "It is both kinds, Country and Western (sorry, I knew one day I would find a place to use one of my favorite Blues Brothers quotes in my blog).  Seriously, the writing I just referenced (without the parenthetical additions of Trump and Republican Enablers added) is from  Nichiren Daishonin which you might know of us as Nichiren Buddhism.  We chant to a Gohonzon, which serves as a mirror to reflect and draw forth our Buddha existence, for we are all Buddhas.  You see, boys and girls, the Buddha does not exist in some far distant place but is in us, we are all Buddhas waiting to become ourselves, fulfilled, self actualized (if I might steal a phrase from "I'm Okay - You're Okay" not to be confused with today's Donald Trump version which is called "I"m Okay - You're Nuts"), but I digress.

Of course, the importance of a rainbow doesn't belong to the Nichiren Buddhist, in Hindu for instance,  the rainbow was used as a bow by Indra the god of thunder and war who shoots arrows of lightning at his enemies. Pre-Islamic Arabic culture also believed the rainbow to be a divine bow for firing arrows of lightning. For the Chinese, however, it was a crack in the sky made by colored stones cast by the mother goddess Nüwa.

Modern uses of the rainbow have everything to do with peace and love and not war.  The rainbow coalitionist was a liberal wing of the Democrat party back in the 80's led by Reverend Jessie Jackson when he ran for president acknowledging our similarities as opposed to our divisive differences so often pointed out by Donald Trump.  Then, there is today's rainbow flag which is used by the LGBTQ as a symbol of pride. 

Yes, the rainbow is a great symbol for love and peace and it should be no surprise that a double rainbow was seen in the sky over Washington DC as Representative John Lewis was resting in the rotunda. 

Rainbow Over Washing DC as John Lewis was in the rotunda... not an accident.

John Lewis was a kind, loving man who believed in equality for all.  Trump is his exact opposite.  Need I say more.

 

Both sides need to stop this political pratice now!!!

So much creepiness in the US to write about, but nothing more creepy than politicians kissing babies, both sides do it, both sides need to stop.

Kissing babies is creepy, no matter who does it.

Wait, that's not a baby, that's a teenage girl you're kissing Mr. Cruz, that's even creepier!

"Not if he blacks out!"

"Or has Chloroform."

"God, we suck!"

"Can't Kiss this baby!"

"No more kissing babies while I'm first lady."

"Or while I'm second lady either."

"Is there no way out of here?"

SCIENCE

 ON this day in 1965 cigarette commercials were banned in the UK.  The word was out that cigarettes killed for those who believed in the SCIENCE of medicine.  It would take the USA another 5 years of "Four Out Of Five Doctors Recommend Cigarette Smoking" commercials before we would ban such commercials.

If this sounds familiar it should, we are doing the same today with Climate Change.  While the SCIENCE is out that carbon emissions are killing the planet, we do nothing but pretend we're safe by creating crazy tax cuts for the rich as a cure.... WTF!  The point of no return is close and if we continue to allow e-i-e-i-o idiots with too much money to govern, we're f**ked!  And just as the Covid19 virus that we knew was coming this way since December 2019 and did nothing about until it was too late, our approach to climate change is the same.  It will hit one day soon with floods and fires and the Republican Voters who continue to support climate-change deniers such as Donald Chump,  Mitch Mc Cow Bell,  and Betsy Screwball, will finally have their hell on earth and their true god will be revealed: the Dark Knight of Fire.  Now, I'm no Christian but seems to me the god of fire is the naughty one?  Hmmmmm.

Funny, it was also on this day in 1954 that SCIENCE proved that smog pollution was from sunlight hitting lead-contaminated gasoline.  Of course, it would take another 20 years before the USA to listen to SCIENCE and get the lead out of our weekend walks.

Today's SCIENCE tells us to wear a mask to fight the Trump Flu.  Today's SCIENCE tells us Climate Change is real and we only have a few years left to correct it or we are all doomed.  Today's SCIENCE tells us Donald Trump is a Narcissistic Lunatic Unfit For Office!

What part of SCIENCE don't you understand!!! Oh, that's right, the Tax-Cut-For-The-Rich-solves-everything part.

 Sorry for the discouraging words.  We need to do something before it is too late and you and I and the horse Donald Trump rode in on know it.

Delay the Election for the Mob Boss boys and girls.

If my eyes don't deceive me there is something wrong going on in the U.S. today.  Late last night, while still in his Big Boy Pajamas, Donald Trump tweeted: "With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA," he wrote. "Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???"


That's right boys and girls, Donald Trump is now suggesting we delay the election.  WTF. We didn't delay the vote during the 1918 Spanish Flu!  We didn't delay the vote during the WWI or WW II wars when our brave citizens were fighting for our rights to vote!  But now, to save Donald Trump from the "embarrassment" of losing by the greatest landslide ever, Donald Trumps wants to postpone the election until... well, I don't know, he dies!

What a dick and if you are an American who would stand for this you are a dick too.

Funny that this should have happened on a July 30th, the same day in 1975 that Jimmy Hoffa was last seen alive.  The mob boss who he was suppose to have lunch with that day said, "He must have taken a vacation."

Trump is a mob boss.

Arrest Him Now!

Tax-Cut-For-The-Rich-To-Starve-The-Poor Ronald Reagan

 Okay, I tried, I really did.  I tried to cover my ass to keep from getting arrested when the Trump Police start rounding up liberals here in Dallas, but can't.  This is why I'm ripping up my Liberal Republican membership card and joining the human race.  Things have gotten so bad with President Jerky Jerk, that even the historical bad guys and gals are speaking out against him.  Take for instance the founder of Tax-Cut-For-The-Rich-To-Starve-The-Poor Ronald Reagan.  The guy who gave us today's "Trickle Down Government" mess, his Foundation wants the Trump Republicans (Jerky Jerks) to stop raising money off of Reagan's legacy.  Ouch, that's got to hurt, the guy who gave us today's high rate 1%-ers who are benefiting from Trump's tax cuts and stock market welfare, can't even stomach their own guy.

"Me and Trump ride horse together on romantic night. He gay, not i"

Speaking of people who can't "stomach" Trump, Neil Young, the old-time acid rocker has come out and asked Trump to stop playing his song "Rockin In The Free World" at his Neo Nazi rallies.  Okay, that's great, but for those of you too young to remember, not only doesn't a Southern man need Neil Young around  (from a Lynyrd Skynyrd song), the guy actually was so drugged up in the 80's he came out in support of Ronald Reagan's "Welfare Cuts."  That's right, when the former hippie saw the tax advantages of being a 1%, he came out in support of Reagan.  What's funny about this is that the last time I heard Neil Young interviewed he said the only reason he was still playing live music at the age of 90 is because the people who work for him on tour have families and need the money.  That's right Mr. Cinnamon Man, they don't have a safety net and will be working until they die no thanks to you and other Republicans.  So, for those of you paying attention, that puts Young on my Jimmy Fallon list of people I'll never forgive for having been dicks.
