Jesus sat in the desert for 40 days and nights, the Devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world and said all was his if he kneeled.  Jesus said No! Trump said Where to I sign? Never could pass up a real estate bargain. Now it's just monuments and dead children And Pestilence.

Commented in response to a friend 's observation that that Trump's response to the Corona Virus smelled slot like the same calculations that went into the liability considerations re Corvair and Ford Pinto vis-a-vis profitability of letting consumers die and be maimed vs recall and and refit. I.e. Cheaper to let people die. Allow me to open a window into my  conduct on Twitter (@ Donquixokie).  #RepublicanDeathCult Devoted to Mammon, Lip Service to Christ. They've been this way since Reagan's Sec Interior James Watts said "This will be the generation that sees Armageddon." 

It is clear that #Trump is making the calculation that you can save lives or you can save the economy. Fullstop. It is necessary to examine the electoral and economic effect of DEAD PEOPLE. DEAD PEOPLE are really bad for the economy.  They do not buy. They do not sell things. They do not employ, or manage hedgefunds, even if they did all these things when they were alive. 

I've neglected this blog for years, much to my shame. All the while talking about my ambition to write my Left-wing Manifesto. My discipline is lacking and I really just do better. Nearly all that I do is tweet. The compact format forces an economy of words, unless you mind making a thread. Therefore most of what I will be posting here will be what I've culled from my own posts on Twitter. Additionally, emails sent to those who I recognize as my betters. On Twitter, I frequently repeat myself. So for the sake of this blog and any future book I may write, it behoove me to give you something I have little cause to when tweeting. More philosophy in addition to the politics. I dunno, maybe poetry. We'll see. If you followed me in the past, thank you. If you are checking me out fofor the first time, Enjoy. Peace.

To Every who ever followed me and those who never had, I'm back. The last time I was posting, it was in support of the Occupy Movement. It's been a long minute. I'm back, at a time in history that absolutely defeats imagination. It's like the nation has been strapped into a roller-coaster and the only thing that we can agree on is that the damn thing is broken but no one knows exactly where and some of us are taking bets on where exactly the wheels will leave the rails. I'm back. Most of my old posts were written during the Occupy Movement. Some of them, while not prescient, do show the history of where some of our issues have sprung. I will up-date and re post them.  It broke my heart that the Occupy Movement never went anywhere. Today I support the Black Lives Matter, Indivisible, Resist and Democratic Socialist Movements. The #Metoo  Movement is a cultural revolution with all the challenges to the existing order that it implies...compare with the Iranian...

Dear President Obama I always credit you with saving this nation's bacon from falling into the abyss of a New Great Depression at the beginning of your first term. I also really like what you did for marriage equality and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. And most recently, your initiatives on gun control. In most other regards, however, you are the third term of the Bush/Cheney White House: You gave an umbrella to the war criminals of the previous administration; you exchange the policy of torture with drone assassination which are proving as fine tuned and precise as brain surgury with a baseball bat. [On that note, some advice. The people who engineered 9/11 (World Trade Center edition) were our FRIENDS once upon a time. They were the mujahadeen trained and armed by the CIA against Russia. Osama bin Laden and even Sadam Hussein were OUR creatures at one time. How do you see this working out, killing their children and blowing up wedding parties, in 20 years tim...

After the Newtown Massacre of Innocents, I have followed your statements with interests Mr LaPierre. Never before have I heard the argument that the only way to put out a fire is to throw more wood on top of it. Color me AMAZED. Amazing too is your assertion that the ONLY thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Maybe you've been seeing spree shootings in some parallel dimension. Here in this universe it is usually a jammed chamber followed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, if the shooter isn't tackled by would be victims when he's reloading that stops a bad guys. Obviously, being forced to reload more often would give victims more chances to disarm their attacker, though you deny that point. Maybe logic works differently in that other universe you and other gun rights activists see so clearly. Everyone else has to live and be killed in this world. It was interesting how absolutely agnostic you were regarding the gun show loop-...
