This will date me: "We-l-l-l-l, you can call me Don or you can call me John---or you can

call me Donny or you can call me Johnny--- or you can call me Don-John or you can call me John-Don---but ya doesn't hafta call me Mr. President!

We rednecks have a way of describing how Trump looked when he got off Marine One

at the White House last night: like he'd been "rid hard and put away wet!"

Horsemen will understand.

If you were trying to slay a monster---say, a vampire like Count Dracula---you would be

well advised not to underestimate his resilience or the power of pure evil. You would want to do anything and everything that might might permanently remove the menacing blood-sucker from your village.

So, if you had the capability, you would dump him out of his coffin-bed into the mid-day sun, shoot him with a silver bullet, hang a garlic necklace on him, press a crucifix onto his forehead AND----drive a stake through his heart. In short, you would take nothing for granted until you had watched him implode into a pile of dust and the wind had strewn that dust far and wide.

This is offered simply as a discussion of how one might deal with a fictional bogeyman, but if anyone believes it might have a political application, they are welcome to think of it in that way.

Though it did not carry the day, has there ever been a better closing argument?

There was no earthquake in Oklahoma last night.

That was just Trump's lower jaw hitting the floor after he peeked out and saw ALL THOSE EMPTY SEATS!

Let's not let this slide or get lost in the shuffle! Trump just admitted that he ordered

his people to "slow down" Covid 19 testing so we wouldn't find so many cases of infection! That means HE KILLED PEOPLE with his self-centered ignorance!

That alone should be cause for impeachment and conviction or even removal under the 25th Amendment!

What else do we need in the way of EVIDENCE that this sick and twisted SOB must go?

Dateline, Tulsa, OK: As Donald Trump layed egg after egg before a tepid and much

smaller than expected rally crowd at the arena, Secret Service personnel were seen unloading several boxes of "Industrial Strength" Depends from an unmarked black Escalade and hurriedly transferring them up the walkway and into Air Force One.

Some days---and this is one of them---I despair that we, the sane, reasonable, tolerant, thinking

majority are being sucked under by the vortex of mean-spirited ignorance being instigated by Trump and implemented by the ignoramuses who proudly support him.

There is little doubt that the Trump rally in Tulsa tomorrow will prove to be a "superspreader" eventually. The idiots---and I make no apology for using that term---who attend this Klan gathering as Corona virus cases spike in Tulsa will return to their home towns afterward and at least some will take a fresh crop of viruses with them. And, some of their family members and neighbor's and coworkers, people who self-isolated, wore their masks and practiced social distancing when they had go out in public, will be infected. And, some of them will die.

Why?

Because the idiots have figured out that, like spoiled children, they don't have to do a damn thing they don't want to because that's how Trump behaves and he has encouraged them to do as he does. Why should they follow the rules and obey the laws? Trump doesn't and he never pays a price.

So we, the sane majority that just wants to live and let live and do our jobs and raise our kids and do our best to love each other, will pay the tab for the parties and games and rallies that we were smart enough not to attend.

That "vortex of ignorance" I mentioned above? That may just be the drain we're circling.

My disgust at the ignorance and my anger with the Trump-humping "don't need no

stinkin' mask" crowd has me ALMOST to the point of considering those who invade my space without a mask as guilty of assault.

Donald Trump has all the moral depth of a thoroughly spoiled 5 year old. One does not

"reason" with self-centered tantrum-throwing brats. One removes them and isolates them so their whining and screaming is not allowed to ruin everyone else's day.

Please stop discussing what he says and does as though he was a responsible adult.
