This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

I’ve been sequestered for 24 hrs. No news, no media, and no Trump. Let them have their moment in the sun. They have no understanding of what they have unleashed on the entire world. Let them have their moment of joy. Something to reminisce about someday when shivering in their Hooverville.

Huey Long famously said, “It’s not the taxes you pay. It’s what you get for them!” Don’t forget Mr. Trump promised Elon and his friends another tax cut. I guess the roads will just have to wait. Or maybe when as promised, Mr. Trump does away with the Department of Education. Mr. Trump can use that money and turn education over to every ignorant school board in Appalachia or Alabama to preach the Bible and intolerance.

Mr. Trump is a well-known unscrupulous convicted felon. This is beyond debate, expect corruption and stealing with both hands. Wetting his beak on every transaction. “Gee, Mr. Zalinski, you want us to help Ukraine? I bet you do. What’s in it for me?” Selling whole populations on the block, your money or your lives!

But due to recent prognostication’s, I hesitate to make any more, but here goes anyway. With North Korean Troops flooding the Ukrainian battlefield. The prohibition against the introduction of foreign troops is now lifted. It’s now an open game and anyone can play. What will Europe do? Slowly allow Ukraine to be ground down to mincemeat and be devoured? Now that American support is openly questionable. Trump and Ukraine a have bad history in case you’ve forgotten. Will Mr. Trump do the right thing or do what suits him best? Which weighs more, Trump’s interests or US Interests?

European interests? Not even an issue.

Make a deal with Putin to try and reestablish some sort of a status quo. Set up a Vichy Ukraine hoping the Bear will play along ala, Neville Chamberlain. “I have here a note from Herr Putin!” Or? What’s the alternative to giving in? I mean now that the prohibition against foreign troops has been lifted. Putin has won a great victory without firing a shot. What will Europe do? You’ll notice, I didn’t say NATO.

Donald Trump is an untrustworthy ally and a calculating transactional criminal. What could possibly go wrong? If I were Taiwan, I’d stock up on everything right away. The chances that Donald Trump will come riding to your rescue after Chairman Xi tells Trump what a great guy he is. Wise and brilliant and cool! And slips him a few billion under the table.

The United States of America elected a convicted felon and fraudster as their leader. In the words of George Baily, “There will never be another decent house built in this town without crawling to Trump.”

No attention will be paid to the environment. Reports of climbing temperatures and oceans warming will win you reassignment to an Arctic weather station. Only good news; get it? Global Climate change makes the birds sing! “Brawny makes things grow, it’s got electrolytes!” You will hear a thundering silence about the environment for at least the next four years. But never mind, we’re all going to Mars with Elon.

I guess in fairness, we should all tip our hats. Donald Trump is the most successful American gangster of all time, bar none! Al Capone couldn’t even dream of where Donald Trump is now. Sam Giancana could only hope in a fantasy to reach Trump’s stature. John Gotti was a second-rate chump when compared to Donald. Donald belongs to the world now. He rivals other famous world gangsters who were careless of their people’s needs.

I see three possibilities, a financial collapse as greed and corruption are always bad for the markets. An expanded war in Europe or a genuine World War. A war involving all of your favorite nations with Ring Master Elmer Fudd leading the United States. Or the General Donald Trump picked because he liked his haircut. Or a combination of all three.

I hate doing this, but I’m angry. These morons have fucked the whole world! Every man women and child crawling on the earth. The monkey’s now run the zoo. Let the madness commence! I’d put the odds at 50/50 Trump ever leaves office any other way but horizontal. Welcome Vice President Dip shit with zero foreign policy experience. A literal pig in a poke. What could possibly go wrong?

So, what do we know for sure, besides the President elect of the United States is a major international criminal. A gangster, transactional in nature and willing to steal the pennies off his dead mothers’ eyes. A man without a conscience or any sense of guilt or responsibility. A self-absorbed narcissistic Caligula. An old man with his aging porn actress wife and his plastic surgery princess by his side.

I’d really like to be hopeful. I really would, but if the morons and penny stinkers of this country will elect a mentally ill gangster to lead them, what hope is there? Maybe we could impeach him five more times! Or take him to court! I’m sure the Supreme Court would give us a fair listen. Do you see the picture yet? Donald Trump is a President with no restraints on him whatsoever.

What could possibly go wrong?

Turn off! Tune out! Build a bomb shelter! Store food and water in your basement. Sell any excess property now, while it still has value. Spend the kid’s college fund on rural land in British Columbia! They’ll thank you someday. Learn to live off grid!

Remember, Donald Trump is above the law, and he is a King. And there is not a goddamn thing in the world that you or I can do about it. They’ve fucked the whole world!
