This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

It’s not news that Donald Trump is a vile racist. But they treat it like it’s news anyway, when it’s only the latest example of what we’ve known all along. Donald Trump sent ICE agents to Minneapolis to arrest Somalis. He was attempting to revoke the protected status of the Haitians for exactly the same reason. He was preparing to send ICE agents into Springfield, Ohio, to arrest Haitians living and working here legally and to deport them. Innocent people merely trying to live their lives. While Trump plans to start a new controversy and new outrage in a new place, just like before in the last place. Just like the other place. News Flash! Trump does something racist…again.

As has become the norm, whenever Donald Trump finds his pants caught on the fence of public outrage. He starts by sending out a surrogate to say, “So what?” And claiming phony outrage. If that doesn’t work, Trump claims he’s just a poor, innocent victim. He didn’t watch the entire video. He can’t be held responsible for being lazy. And besides, it was an unnamed staffer who posted that video in the middle of the night in his name. Which lie is worse? A racist video posted or an unnamed staffer posing as the President of the United States? Which lie do you prefer?

It’s only another lie. Just another one like all of the millions of the other ones. It’s just another example of Trump’s racism tearing this country apart. Just another example of Cara lying Leavitt telling disposable lies which will be thrown away in a few hours anyhow. Just another one, just like all the other ones. Cara lying Levitt speaks for us all as she gaslights America when she says, “phony outrage.” As Republicans pour out their disgust, complaints and phony invective once again. One more time, with a real heartfelt feeling this time! Tim Scott is the token house boy who vents and fumes. But he won’t change sides. He’s outraged and very angry but he’s still wedded to the party of racism. He’s a Judas goat for Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima. Who does he think he’s fooling at this late date?

What sort of national tragedy or bloody example will it take exactly to move them from outrage and complaint to action? Why haven’t impeachment proceedings begun yet? What are they waiting for? This isn’t the first example, nor the first crime, nor the first time. If ever a president needed to be impeached, clearly, it is this one. During Watergate, there was a cadre of staunch Republicans who were rock-solid loyal to Nixon. While another faction was fearful of being destroyed by Nixon’s wake. Come election day, it didn’t matter, as both factions were equally ejected from office all just the same.

The Republicans trying to sane wash Trump won’t save themselves or their party. They only make it harder on themselves. They are saving nothing. In the recent Texas Senate race Republican voters stayed home in record numbers. A Republican district which Trump won by 17 points barely a year ago, he lost by 14. Do they need a translator, a swami or a fortune teller to explain to them exactly what that means? It means they had better run like hell as fast as their fat little legs can carry them to the impeachment table. Quit trying to save the body and set about trying to save themselves. The ashes and sackcloth routine isn’t working anymore.

Do they not realize where this anchor is dragging them? Trump is planning to stifle lawful elections. Are they on board with that? Are they down with the clown? Full speed ahead? Maybe they win an election they actually lost, and then again, maybe they go to prison until God gets bored. Actions speak louder than words, but not nearly as often. The survivors will be those who lead the pack now.

JD Vance was loudly and rightfully booed at the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympic Games. But Americans didn’t see it. It was censored by the network and by the Olympic committee themselves. They knew this would happen and didn’t want world opinion to ruin the aesthetics of the opening ceremonies. It was more important to please the sponsors. Don’t ruin Mr. Hitler’s showcase. Fans were asked beforehand not to boo, but they did so anyway. Public outrage should be ignored for the sake of pagan pageantry. If the Olympic committee didn’t want the outrage, they should have dis-invited the outrageous.

By allowing Vance, his temporary wife, to use the Olympic soapbox. The Olympic Committee had rightfully brought this scorn down upon themselves. Take them quietly aside and ask them politely to stay out of the limelight for the sake of the athletes and for the sake of the US Olympic team. Instead, the committee allowed them to parade themselves and use the games as their personal vehicle. I despise JD Vance and feel sorry for his long-suffering temporary wife, but I hate censorship even more. Who was it that made the games political? The Olympic Committee and NBC did.

Why were the mini-Trumps there in the first place? To get their mugs on television, of corpse. To try and promote and propagandize the most unpopular administration in all of American history. While the Olympic committee shouts SSSSSH to the crowd! The  Olympic Committee then threatened the news agencies with lawsuits, if they showed the truth about the Mini Trumps being booed. The committee, in an effort to save themselves, has destroyed themselves, and permanently tainted the games. The news media should pack up and go home in protest.

But stupid is as stupid does. The Republicans in Congress have been all in a hot sweat to haul Bill and Hillary Clinton before a congressional committee to tell all they know about Jeffrey Epstein. At first, the Clintons declined and the Republicans threatened  to hold them in contempt of Congress! But then, after some legal wrangling, the pair agreed to testify. I had said this all along, that the Clintons should march in there and BURY Donald Trump. “President Clinton, how did you come to meet Jeffrey Epstein?” Ah, Donald Trump introduced us. He said Jeff threw some wild parties with lots of underage girls! He said, Jeff had the best cocaine around!

Now, after months of legal wrangling, the Republicans suddenly decided they don’t want the Clintons to speak publicly about Epstein. They don’t want the pair to testify publicly before Congress. It’s like the Republicans suddenly woke up and said. Wait, a minute! Those two are both attorneys! They could rip us a new asshole! They could sink our boat. Never mind, you two can go! Thanks, for stopping by!
