Morally fit?
“I don’t think he’s mentally unfit. I’ve read stuff about dementia and what-not. I don’t buy that. … That’s not what I mean. I actually believe he’s morally unfit to be president.”
– James Comey
45 chances, thus far in 220 + years
Started by “land holding slave owners
Who wanted to be free”- George Carlin
Morality has yet to come in to play
Best go by degrees and / or quantity
Too much blathering worship of
The false meme and notion that
The most powerful man / office
In the world is sadly attributed to
Sacrificing your own personal power
Licked up as soft serve ice cream
Off a waffle cone in Death Valley
Dripping like blood on unwashable
Hands attached to Pontius Pilate
If it was ever true, the current
Occupant of the oval office in the
White, supremacist, house of cards
Has sullied and vandalized it
To the point it needs to be
Demolished and reconfigured
Perhaps lead by a small group of
Women, men and LGBT’s
Brown, olive, red, pink and yellow
Instead of a corruptible individual
To serve every bipedal earthling
Oxygen breathing, monoxide exhaling
Red blooded, skeleton supported
Solar powered, carbon-based,
Large brained, earth inhabitant, omnivore
Artists that has been spawned
From the living planetary Gaia
Consciousness that has no borders
As it is entirely interconnected
Replacing greed, violence and power
Hatred, indifference and cruelty
With sharing, peace and empathy
Love, compassion and kindness
Then for once and for all we will
Understand the meaning of leadership
“The only person who can solve our problems is God, and She isn’t running this year “

The following is mostly just surface memory stuff. I could be wrong.
45 While the jury is still out, rather has not even convened, the distractions are crashing in at a feverish break neck pace trying to outrun the indictments, subpoenas, collusion, treason and money laundering. Again I could be wrong.
44 Ordered the assassination of a foreign leader which, huhum, in my infinitely small legal / constitutional knowledge, is illegal. And, not very moral.
Which in this parched for blood societal saloon, was praised by critics and naysayers.
43 Used hyperbolic scare tactics to attack Iraq when the alleged perpetrators were in Afghanistan.
Thereby killing thousands of United State soldiers and sovereign citizens in an unjust war. Like father, like son.
42 Besides launching cruise missiles on Baghdad, ordering the ATF raid on Waco and cheated on his wife.
41 Attacked Kuwait, because he wanted their oil worse than they did. Leaving all sorts of earthling’s bodies dead in the wake.
40 Iran-Contra traded weapons for hostages, so that people who like to kill people could have tools to kill more people.
39 Didn’t think Jimmy did anything so, Google’d it to find “Carter was the least violent of American presidents but he did things which I think would certainly fall under Nuremberg provisions,”
– Noam Chomsky.
38 Wasn’t sure if he was there long enough to cause trouble. Other than, “He supported the Indonesian invasion of East Timor, which was near genocidal. I mean, it makes Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait look like a tea party.”
– Chomsky.info
37 Kept American soldiers in Vietnam getting killed so he could posture himself to remain president.
36 Whipped out his junk to show what he was going to keep doing to the people of Vietnam.
35 Cheated on his wife and authorized the Bay if Pigs invasion, escalating troops in Vietnam.
16 “Lincoln’s war, without initial Congressional consent, was responsible for the deaths of over 50,000 Southern, non combatant civilians.
This was just a cursory capsule of capital crimes inspired by Comey’s quote.
Wondering in print why anyone would cast that vote or pay taxes,
Perhaps it should just be renamed the Execution branch.
That way, we would at least know that we are getting what we pay for.
Devlin dishing out dissonance.
Charles Manson ordered his followers to kill 7 people. He died penniless in prison.
Presidents order their followers to kill tens of thousands of people. Many of their followers get killed or wounded.
They get a presidential pension, security detail, lavish speaking fees, and their names plastered on expensive libraries.
Leading one to believe that if we elected a hippie drug connoisseur to the White House, there’d be a lot less global deaths.
The Police “Murder By Numbers”
(Only semi-intentional irony, no really,) “The Police” were a punk rock band in the 80’s that wrote a song called “Murder By Numbers”
Because it’s murder by numbers,1,2,3,
It’s as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
It’s as easy to learn as your ABC.
Now you can join
The ranks of the illustrious
In history’s great
Dark hall of fame.
All our greatest killers
Were industrious
At least the ones
That we all know by name.
But you can reach the top
Of your profession
If you become
The leader of the land,
For murder is the sport
Of the elected,
And you don’t need to lift
A finger of your hand
Because it’s murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
It’s as easy to learn as your ABC.
Murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
It’s as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E, ……….

The contemplation
Of extinguishing myself
Is short lived
When immediately
The following lyrics
Consciously or
Unconsciously
Circumstantially
Subtly or loudly
Enter my
Consciousness
“Why then, is god still protecting me
Even when I don’t deserve it
Though I am blessed
With an inner strength
Some they would call it a penance
Why am I meant to face this alone
Asking the question time and again
Praying to god won’t keep me alive
Inside my head, feel the fear start to rise…”

Then it goes away.

Saul (Michael Cohen) Badman
Donald’s Fixer
Ambiguity kinda rhymes with Hannity
Coincidence?
I don’t think, if you slip an attorney two fivers, it constitutes attorney client privilege. Nor does it justify Saul Badman having a file on you, even though you have never been billed for quid pro quo.
Like daily forcing down plausible deniability of collusion and a narrative for a Trump agenda for the mere sucking up to power and money.
Why would a multimillionaire need to have an attorney he couldn’t or wouldn’t pay?
At least in all the hubbub, figured out why Faux, can blanketly criticize the media while pretending they’re not. ‘Tis because their content is infotainment provided by info-tainers, not journalists.
How long before Laura and Shawn join Bill’s podcast? That Donald can tweet responses when he is released from his thumb cuffs, during media time.
My uncle was a fixer, if you had a broken pipe or a plugged up toilet he could fixer. Plus he to got paid to take care of leaks and getting rid of shit, no one else should see.

“What God Wants, part 1” From “Amused To Death”
Let me see if I’ve got this straight.
If Oceania chooses to go to war with East Asia over their use of chemical weapons with all the moral authority of the Lord Of The Flies.
Justified, because they are using chemical weapons against their own people. (Or is it Eurasia?)
Oceania sees fit to obliterate those chemical producing plants as a righteous and *moral thing to do.
Should then, it only be fair and to be expected that either East Asia or Eurasia might go to war with Oceania because they discovered it has forge factories to make guns that are used against the people of Oceania?
Just looking for a little consistency.
Or, or, has the military industrial complexes in each country, stockpiled so many weapons, it would be unjustified to make more, unless a few hundred or so were expended, covered with blood and buried in the sand?
In the perpetual pursuit to placate the proles, that they might be kept unsatisfactorily busy, so they are able to feed their families. Pay taxes and keep the vicious circle of violence going.
* “People are touchy about that sort of thing. And let me ask you this while I have you good, clean Americans here.
This is a moral question, not rhetorical.
I’m looking for the answer. What is the moral difference between cutting off one guy’s head or two or three or five or ten and dropping a big bomb on a hospital and killing a whole bunch of sick kids?
Has anybody in authority given you an explanations of the difference?”
– George Carlin
Dead is dead, right? Either by liquid, lead or laser guided missiles?
This unfortunate post came about because a coworker with whom I share a work truck with, volunteered to inform me he left the radio on the Faux channel.
As he was giddy to hear about Trump’s tweet about the bombing in Syria.
(It’s not a football game, *other*ucker. Human beings lives are at stake of which I assume you are one of them. #ucknut.)
Projecting that I’d want to hear, about 40% of my taxes are wasted destroying property and people, elsewhere on the planet.
When in reality, would much rather have it to spend that myself on grandchildren’s dance recitals, competitions and wrestling matches.
“Hey, the war made us feel better about ourselves” “Really?” Who are these people with such low self-esteem, …they need a war to feel better about themselves?
I saw them on the news waving their flags. Can I recommend that instead of a war to feel better about yourselves, perhaps……sit-ups, maybe a fruit-cup, six to eight glasses of water a day.
I’m not telling you how to live, I’m just recommending a perhaps better way to feel better about yourself. And we can avoid the conflagration, ha, ha, ha… Merely a suggestion. Take a tip?”
– Bill Hicks
Knock knock,
Who’s there?
Red
Red who?
Red Herring
Who sent you?
The NRA
Come on in.
I’m sure glads you takes my money and keeps fighting for my seconds amendment rights.
Even though, it puts me further away from being free, as I’ve shackled myself to an outdated, antiquated, prick waving concept that is impossibly justified and won’t work.
Seeing as how, I only have a pistol, a revolver, a rifle and a shotgun. Well, ok, three of each, yet it just occurred to me that I could only, really use one at a time.
Shit…..
The government has bazookas, flame throwers, machine guns, tanks, anti personal mines, armed drones, cruise and stinger missiles and a whole host of alphabetical bombs.
Shit…..
No problem, I am here to spook you a little more, by merely suggesting via rumor and innuendo that the “liberals” may, may try and take away the guns you do have. So buy some more, just in case.
In order to help the economy via ammunition, gun and safe sales. Even though, the only person suggesting confiscating weapons is the “Donald”.
Donald Trump has indicated his support for confiscating firearms from certain dangerous people even if it violates their legal rights, in comments guaranteed to enrage a large section of his support.
In remarks almost unthinkable for a modern Republican president, he told senators at the White House to discuss general school safety:
“Take the firearms first and then go to court.
“I like taking the guns early, like in the crazy man’s case… take the guns first, go through due process second.”
– Donald Trump
The Independent UK
USA Today
Time
Umm, then it wouldn’t be “due process” duh!
“Imagine if Barack Obama had said that? Just ignore due process and start confiscating guns? Obama would have been denounced as a dictator. We would have denounced him first, trust me. Congress would be talking impeachment.”
– Tucker Carlson
Good thing Tucker has a front row seat to his back channel communications with his Big Brother.
As one might guess, there is no room for weapons at our house. It is filled with love, laughter and truth.
Considering also that the occupants have a little:
anger and detachment,
anxiety and fear,
brain Injury and depression
and a toddler with curiosity
Knowing that statistically, the likelihood is, that they will get used against an intruder pales in comparison, that the guns will most likely be used fatally, via accidents, passion or suicide.
So, if there were weapons in the house, it might lead everyone to sleep with
Bullet proof vests
Body armor
Kevlar helmets
And one eye open
Besides that, no one conducts themselves in a manner that draws that kind of energy under our roof.
Based on the Fahrenheit 451 culture we are living in, I am more worried about the Government paid fire department breaking down the door to confiscate my books.
Continued on “More Knocks”
Continued from “Knock Knock”
Knock knock,
Who’s there?
Truth
Truth who?
Truth about
Truth about what?
Truth about guns and irrational fears
It’s that whole macho asshole pseudo John Wayne type slogan. “I’ll give up my gun, when they pry it from my cold dead hands.” Bullshit.
That slogan gives the impression that some gun owners always have a gun in their hand. Just waiting for a tap on the shoulder, or a knock on the door so they can blast away whoever might even look at their gun with a suspicious eye.
Oroboriously feeding an irrational paranoia via words that will simply never come to fruition.
All “authority” has to do is sit back and watch the show of the people killing each other without lifting a finger because of the proliferation of guns.
The tyrannical power of the government is not through weaponry it is through mental manipulation, put away you guns and think.
“Is there anything more American, than standing firm and resolute in the face of rational thought?
No, no, I don’t think so, I don’t think so at all. That is American exceptionalism we do that better than any country.
And as you might guess, I’m an American, who is pro gun control, I am pro safety measures, certainly.
I am not one of those “I wanna take all your guns away people”. You know why?
Because, those people don’t exist. Nobody’s f****** saying that. Nobody is saying, I want to take all your guns away. nobody is f****** saying that.
That is a specious red herring b******* argument that the NRA is happy to prop up. That is absolutely not the case at all.
I am pro safety measures, like, I think you should be able to have a thumbprint ID, you know, that your thumbprint unlocks and locks your gun.
As a safety measure, right, yeah, that makes sense, right.
But the NRA won’t allow it. They won’t even allow it, to come to a vote. You know, cause that’s a slippery slope. That is a slippery slope, makes sense, but then you’re on a slippery slope, my friend.
But, we should, that just makes so much sense. A little thumbprint ID. You know, the same kind of security measure that we use to lock and unlock OUR F****** CELL PHONES, MAYBE WE COULD APPLY TO AN INSTRUMENT OF DEATH.
Right, how does that impinge on your second amendment rights? It doesn’t, so shut the f*** up. Right!
– David Cross
The allegedly responsible gun owners brew that philosophy like they are standing around a witches cauldron.
Adding more incompetent ingredients till they scare the shit out of themselves as to what may happen.
When, if reason and logic outweighed ignorance and fear, much more productive paths could be forged or followed, stopping the senseless violence.
“Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
You need a weapon
Like a hole in the head
Put out the fire
Put out the fire baby
Put out the fire
And let your sons and daughters
sleep sound in their beds
You know a gun never killed nobody
You can ask anyone
People get shot by people
People with guns
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
You need a gun
Like a hole in the head
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Just tell me that
Old fashioned
Gun law
Is dead
Shoot shoot…”

“Put out the fire”
A Pertinent Question
If it is true that people kill people
Not guns that kill people
Shouldn’t we outlaw people?
17 Seconds of dead air
17 Families in despair
17 Pools of dried blood
17 From neighborhood
17 Caskets sold to soon
17 Rather be in classroom
17 Minutes to purchase
17 Under the surface
17 Lives so varied
17 Bodies six foot buried
17 One last breaths
17 Premature deaths
17 Warnings to ignore
17 It could have been more
17 Souls lost
17 Funerals cost
17 Mostly that age
17 Killed in a cage
17 Hopes diminished
17 Life’s plans unfinished
17 Artists extinguished
But wait, it wasn’t 17 seconds of dead air.
It was 17 x 21 seconds of
Assault rifle rattling
Bullets blasting
Bodies slamming
Voices screaming
Lungs heaving
Eyes scanning
Flesh tearing
Bones breaking
Hearts beating
Books falling
Parents calling
Sirens wailing
Tires screeching
Ricochet’s echoing
Feet stomping
Ears hearing
Thumbs typing
Phones ringing
Helicopters whirring
News broadcasting
System Failing
“When we’ve had our say with the government — and maybe the adults have gotten used to saying ‘it is what it is,’ but if us students have learned anything, it’s that if you don’t study, you will fail. And in this case if you actively do nothing, people continually end up dead, so it’s time to start doing something.”
– Emma Gonzalez
Anyone to blame
In the kill and mame
Of the NRA’S game
Having no shame
Which is insane
It will happen again
Even with poor aim
The numbers gain
No refrain
Blood red stain
Excuses lame
Culprit the brain
Madness tame
Lies are the same
Try to complain
Violence abstain
Life down drain
Memory’s in pain
Hard to contain
Guns remain
Easy to obtain
“Revolution”
“You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
Alright, alright
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re all doing what we can
But if you want money for people
with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother
you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
Alright, alright, al…
You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You’d better free your mind instead”
– The Beatles
Of Donald’s trade war.
No longer will Mall Wart, be using the slogan, “New Lower Prices”
However, in keeping with deceptive marketing and hype, will be using.
“New Enhanced Pricing”
Which will be about a nickel to a dollar higher on each plastic fall apart, didn’t need that in the first place product.
But it is too late, as our insatiable appetite has been whetted. Born consumers into a life of consumption, regardless the cost.
Induced by product shininess, the lights it has, the noise it makes, or the “work” it may save you.
For example, why else would someone purchase a coffee maker for $100.00 that makes a 75 cent cup of coffee?
When for about the same amount of plastic, glass and tin you can get a 15 cent cup of coffee out of a $30.00 machine, that produces less waste.
If we really wanted to balance the scales, we could just not buy so much.
Oops, can’t do that, the economy would collapse and we might evolve. Therefore all we will have to do is modify, ignore or abolish this country’s child labor laws.
Which could inadvertently solve another problem. Without schools, there would be more school shootings.
I’m sure that the armed guards keeping those adolescents and teenagers in their windowless sweaty freedom factories, will not let anyone in to harm the pained profit producers.
Just think, then “we” could win the trade wars.
We’re # 1, We’re # 1, We’re # 1!!
We have memed and over populated ourselves out of anything reflecting “the sanctity of life”.
We went from
Cave paintings to hieroglyphics
Papyrus to paper
Books to bibles
Definitions to dictionaries
Rules to laws
Smoke signals to radio waves
Coins to cash
Telephones to television
War department to defense department
Truth to euphemism
The Moon to Mars
Encyclopedias to infinite information
Satellites to cell phones
Typing to touch screens
Banks to bytes
Beliefs to perceptions
Talking to texting
Tiny towns to manic megalopolises
Farms to food factories
Serenity to surveillance
Protection to brutality
Corruption to collusion
Legislation to concentration
Objective news to obnoxious opinions
Misinformation to manipulation
Recidivism to for profit prisons
Leaders to puppets
Talking heads to talking trash
People to polluters
Mother Earth to leaking landfills
“Is This The World We Created?”
– Queen
Just look at all those hungry
Mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the
Suffering we breed
So many lonely faces
Scattered all around
Searching for what they need.
Is this the world we created?
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end.
Is this what we’re all living for today?
The world that we created.
You know that every day
A helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care
Inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man
Is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by.
Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own.
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If there’s a God in the sky looking down,
What can (S)he think of what we’ve done
To the world that (S)he created?
“So at best, the sanctity of life is kind of a selective thing. We get to choose which forms of life we feel are sacred, and we get to kill the rest.
Pretty neat deal, huh? You know how we got it? We made the whole fucking thing up!
Made it up, the same way we made up the death penalty. We made them both up, the sanctity of life and the death penalty.
Aren’t we versatile?!”
