This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

After Joe Biden stepped away from the presidential nomination, Republicans said. That he’d been pushed out, forced out and his office was taken from him in a bloodless coup. I saw it more as the step aside to preserve his own legacy. Or potentially, be the man who knowingly took Party down to defeat for his swan song. Possibly giving the White House back to Donald Trump. How’s that for your legacy?

But nothing compares with the eraser and wiping non-existence of Lt. Governor, Mark Robinson. Unplugged from the North Carolina political matrix and left adrift in limbo. His state office was “cleaned” a la Pulp Fiction to make certain there were no other unknown or incriminating  “surprises” left behind. You know; vibrators, fuzzy handcuffs or BDSM clothing.

Robinson’s public schedule was cancelled. His staff all quit. No one would take his phone calls. He’s been erased from the public consciousness. Robinson hasn’t resigned yet but was effectively resigned. How about that new chocolate ration, a Winston? It’s right off the pages of the book. My guess, Robinson is sipping cheap gin in a café somewhere dodging rocket bombs. Playing chess and reading the left behind copies of old party newspapers all day.

Imagine, in just 24 hrs. Robinson went from Lt. Governor of North Carolina and Republican candidate  for Governor garnering national media attention and a friend of Donald Trump. To less than no one. Zero minus one. The invisible man running through a Twilight Zone matrix where nobody recognizes him. Maybe your debit card will work and then again, maybe not. Maybe you have a driver’s license and then again, maybe the state has never heard of him.

It really is a 21^st Century electronic nightmare. If they want to, they can just turn you off. In Robinson’s case, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving subject. But his guilt and worthiness aside. It really is a fine example of electric fascism. No need to murder Ernst Roehm this time around. Just unplug him and off him in that new fangled way. Throw him into the information super sewer.

Welcome to Orwell 2.0 where the rat is now digital and fitted with bluetooth and Dolby sound. Mark Robinson is still the Lt. Governor of North Carolina, but not sos you’d notice. Questionable, if they would even let Robinson in the building. Talk about your bloodless coup? “I’m sorry sir, but your ID is invalid.”

Robinson has to be asking himself just what the hell happened? One minute everything was normal and then he turned on CNN. His sin was two-fold as his “Black Nazi” and let’s bring back slavery talk was largely accepted and ignored, but when connected to “porn activities.” It becomes a lethal cocktail. You can be crazy in the Republican Party; it’s allowed and it’s not illegal. Robinson said crazy stuff all the time. But NO SEX! The Bible is agin it. And Republicans love their Bible. You can’t have the Governor out catting around with somebody else’s wife. Not on Tinder anyway.

The Lt. Governor can’t get away with that type of behavior. The former President, however, still remains an open question. They are starting to call it “Loomer Gate.” Mr. Trump fondness an affection for Laura Loomer, a woman less than half his age and also not his wife. The old fart infatuated with the young tart. A surgically augmented women from the waist up for your viewing pleasure.  

All around Mr. Trump there is a noticeable panic, as the old boob falls under the spell of some sweet young and ambitious floozie. Mr. Trump assumes, if he could shoot someone on 5^th Ave and get away with it. He can also sleep with anyone he likes. But Mr. Trump forgets, Republicans have no moral qualms about killing people. But where you stick your penis is of great deal of concern to them. And it bothers them a great deal. NO SEX! The Bible is agin it!

It’s also possible Mr. Trump is just collapsing on the inside. More than well aware of his own pending electoral fate he takes a lover for the last days. He’s gonna marry Eva Braun as soon as his divorce is final from what’s her name. (Malaria)  Me thinks he doth protest too much. Republicans connected to the campaign making worried public comments about Ms. Loomer’s influence. Why? What is she doing that so bothers them? She’s just Donald’s friend…right?

There must be some reason for their overt concerns. Wild Bull Donald certainly doesn’t listen to anyone. So, they make phonetic hand signals in the background to the campaign. Trying to warn them to best pay attention before it all goes public. And now it is public, but no one seems to care. Ho Hum, (No pun intended) Donald Trump is cheating on his wife again. Yeah, and it looks like it’s going to rain.

You can’t hurt Mr. Trump with philandering charges. The cultist won’t believe it and nobody else would doubt it. But there is still the wild card in the current incarnation of a Mrs. Trump. Will she tolerate the public humiliation as Hef try’s turning Mar-a-Lago into the Playboy mansion south. The old fool still chasing a young skirt like an old dog still pretending he could catch a rabbit.

How interesting a Lt. Governor can be silenced and eliminated. The former President can have an affair and despite cameras and internets the story only simmers. The story has been chloroformed, and not a word is to be spoken of it. Disappeared and sanitized for your protection. NO SEX! He wouldn’t do that to Malaria.

You just can hurt Donald Trump with questions about character or morality.
