Talk about soul surgery. This is soul-sucking surgery, with the good Dr. Donald J. Trump attending as chief surgeon. He's going to make you feel so good, so healthy, so wealthy, you'll be tired of living so much. And good thing, too, because once he's successfully completed his sabotage of our health care system, tax code...plus environmental regulations, worker safety rules, democratic norms, the Constitution, relationships with our closest allies, our national defense, social safety net, and..(wait, what have I forgotten anything) you'll want to pinch yourself...and then put a bullet in your head.
Anyway, we'll all finally be the winners he promised us we'd all be. And life will be AWE-some, so very awesome, like we've never seen such AWE-someness before...
[We pause for a moment while the blogger/cartoonist rushes to the nearest sink to lose his breakfast.]
Meanwhile, the vast majority of Republicans are all holding their breath that Trump manages to actually pull off all of this national self-destruction, which has been the Republican Party policy agenda for the past 30 years running, before he finally pisses off Kim Jong-Un (or some other nuclear-armed crackpot) so much that country actually does get obliterated. Good those elephant men (and they are mostly men) have the country's best interest at heart.
And, no, Democrat jackasses don't get off the hook so easy. They're too busy twiddling their thumbs, trying to figure out how to lure back the love of their political lives: the working class white man. Never mind that it's not the economy, stupid; it's all about race, racism and white entitlement. Always was, always has been, and most likely always will be until the Democrats stop talking out of both sides of their mealy mouths. They should all be required to sit down and read Ta Nehisi Coates' recent piece in the Atlantic. Maybe then they can get serious about offering policies that are genuinely inclusive and just for all people of all colors, creed, ethnicity and gender.
Meanwhile, I guess we can just hold our breath and pray that we can make it through the day.
"I did not and will not exhale..."
