FREEDOM!

This despite the rest. We will do it. 

As everyone knows, especially those who frequent this space, the place in time that we currently find ourselves is, mildly, odd. 

It is also sadly dangerous, about to detonate and highly flammable. The physic stress poured relentlessly upon our poor heads by the current administration is felonious on more levels than the obvious and corrupt in more ways than presently understood. 

These thieves are getting away with murder, just as their slim-ball leader predicted during the election campaign by saying he could shoot someone in downtown New York and walk away Scott free. That now seems to be something he is wanting to prove. Consider the latest coup of ramming Bart Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court. Because he is the best man for the job or because he will rule to pardon his mob boss and gutless lieutenants after their crimes have been delivered to the doors of the corporate oligarchs who ordered them? 

My money is on the latter. 

The depths to which our government, and by proxy the American people, have sunk at the hands of these vile republican white supremacists is utterly appalling. Anyone choosing Bart over Dr Ford is either an idiot, a pig, a white male with privilege or a passed-out frat boy on a back lawn at Yale. Fuck oh dear. 

Let us be clear on this as a red-letter day in our Democracy. I will also make a prediction. Exactly one month and one day from today, November 6, 2018, we will see the power of the people vividly, in the living colors of every shade of blue, take it back. Today, by the slimmest of margins, 51-49 the senate voted to move the confirmation of a rapist, a drunk and an unapologetic political hack to a final vote. 

By doing so they have dammed themselves to a blood-bath in November. They have denounced democracy, selling their souls to the the devil’s bidding. They have ignored the will and wishes of the people, provided people of color, seniors, the infirm, vets, gays and intellectuals as scapegoats and fueled the flames of hate, bigotry, racism, and violence.

All for cash and control. Money and power. May your final breath be painful and slow Mitch. 

They will pay for this. We will have our freedom. We will have our justice and we will bring our country back up from the bottom of the swamp where it now rests. We can do it with you, the hateful and fearful, the oppressed and damaged, the intentionally ignorant and those that benefit from the suffering of others, or without you. With William Wallace or without. 

But do it we will. 

We will paint the town blue. Let FREEDOM ring.
