congenial-speak #36

Foul-mouths and browner noses

It must be a myopic phenomenon. Congressmen and women don't see how they are letting themselves be degraded. As one watching daily reports, footage of the mouths they go in, willingly, I can't help but think that somewhere they know. In a part of their brain that closed, when one opened around the spring of 2016, they know nothing good can come of attaching their band wagon to the gaseous ball called Trump. They know they boarded a sinking ship. Mitt and Chris would have been riding that wave of failure and humility right now. Bobble-head Rudy was in there hoping for a job in Liealot. They would have joined the sycophantic ranks of Prebis, Pence, Ryan, Spicer, and that dirt-bag hoover, that sucking foul-mouthed douche Scaramoochie. And along comes Stephen Miller, a programmable Jewish Hitler youth who might have served both sides. HE is a shande for the Jews.

These are white men, 98.5% of them. They range in age from 36 (Kushner) to 71 (Trump) and have stolen democracy and the GOP. They have—or intend to—pervert it into something right out of Orwell's book 1984. Years before he ran for president Trump was heard in a interview saying if he ran, the the Democrat would run as a Republican. He claimed that they were stupid enough to buy his oils. Apparently they are, and they did. Over half-way into his first year polling indicates that safe stupidity is beginning to wane. All the boot-licks, lap-dogs, and sycophants are not that much wiser than the populace, the redneck uneducated white male demographic that were in the counties of red states with high electoral votes. Trump ran as a populist. These were the interests of ordinary people, fan fare for the common man? Walls and rabid paranoia? Scares from the Islamic community calling back the day of the red menace? Well, they were at one time, I guess, the interests of a handful of Americans. But I'd argue that they were not true Americans. Those few, biding their lives and folding their flags every night, must not have paid any attention in history class. Trump, evidently, was a believable fraud. Romney said it, and Trump gave everyone his word he was going to make America great again. They were sure of it bobbling their heads in a red hat. That's all they got, an IOU to shadow their face, hide the shame.

Congress, if not the disgruntled populace, is gradually growing tired of his game. I think it started about when the anti-bellum Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III became Trump's tether ball. It is curious to me that ANYONE has ever given this man-behind-the-curtain without any existential brain credit for having one. It riles me to believe that any thinking adult conceives of ideas from the mind of Donald J. Trump. The very idea that a 4 or 5 star general condescends himself to break bread with this man is perplexing. I guess the alternative would end in disaster. In that respect, they really are American heroes again—off the battlefield—allowing themselves to act like they take this lunatic seriously, swallowing their pride everyday to keep their country safe. Trouble is, I gather their advisories fall on deaf, dumb ears. Trump does as he wishes and really never processes their words, doesn't have the attention span.

The elephant in the room is keeling over. Trump is not emblematic of the GOP, he never was. He is a renegade, an acerbic pitchman from upper Manhattan who sees making this country great again as just another real estate deal he can tailor to his specifications, hire contracting immigrants, and screw them. As Mitch postures himself, like a bug-eyed turtle with a shell game, on the senate floor he tries to breathe life into his dying pachyderm. Trump lumbers around the WH, listening for his people to stop listening to him
