We were right about all of it

Today is the saddest most depressing day in America since Nov. 5, 2024, when anybody with a brain in their head or a heart in their chest knew what was most assuredly coming.

Somehow that didn’t include myriad universities, corporations, media outlets, and even members of the opposition party, who surrendered to this murdering fascist regime almost before it got going, thus greasing the skids for this homegrown national emergency.

I hold them in contempt, and will do everything possible to make sure these cowardice sellouts pay for their betrayal.

And about that media … Try as I might, I just couldn’t get through the newspapers this morning.

I know what I saw on my screen on that frigid Minneapolis street Saturday. There are in fact two sides to this story: The right side and the wrong side. I have heard more than enough from the latter side to last one-hundred-and-fifty lifetimes.

If you are still covering Donald Trump as anything but a violent, lying lowlife you have no credibility. And if you have no credibility you are worthless as a news source.

If you are looking for the truth simply start believing your eyes, dammit.

Our government — let me type that again — OUR GOVERNMENT has been infiltrated by billionaires and well-paid racists to pull OUR money away from funding good and necessary things like healthcare, daycare, and clean air and water, to pay for murder in our streets, and control over US.

They are doing whatever they damn well want, ignoring the law, and crushing dissent.

This is called fascism.

And because we are dealing with a fascist regime, our so-called “Justice” Department has exactly one client, and it isn’t the United States of America. Their client is a despicable, 79-year-old America-attacking thug, who’s deader on the inside than he is on the outside, and fears only one thing more than the truth: our vote.

Because that more than anything is what all this is about, and we must shout that out.

Trump and his murdering regime are readying their burning playing field to make it so Americans cannot do the most democratic there is this November by walking into a voting booth and deciding who we want to work for us.

If you are not seeing this being reported this way turn off that newsfeed and be done with them forever. Time is too short to deal with this dangerous nonsense any longer.

Fact is, we are an isolated country jammed tight between two oceans, and employ the biggest, most lethal military in the world, and enough bullets among our civilian populace to kill everybody in the entire world, and still have billions, and billions of rounds left over.

We are not a great a country, and never have been. We are country that aspires to greatness, but right now is falling flat. On this frigid Sunday afternoon, America has never been uglier or weaker in my long lifetime, because in addition to all those surrendering institutions I mentioned above, too damn many people just don’t give a good goddamn either way.

As I pointed out in my wide-ranging piece Thursday, (which I’ll be honest with you feels like three works ago), these are the people I loathe most of all. If you don’t care about the hell that is going down right now kindly haul your a-- on out of here, because you are not needed.

Look, I am not here today to make you feel worse — I reckon that would be impossible — but I am here to acknowledge your pain, anger and fear. We all need a place to hang all that, and this is as good a place as any I can think of.

I’m depressed and angry, sure, but I’m not going anywhere. I will fight these b------- with all I got, and will be here when we get to the other side.

Because WE WILL get to the other side, good people.

Politics as usual will not get us out of this mess because it is politics as usual that got us into it. Trump’s threat has somehow been underestimated by too damn many for too damn long.

But not by you.

No, you have known all along what would happen if this lawless son of a b---- got another crack at finishing off what he started on January 6, 2021.

We all watched that, too, and now because nothing was done about it by people we put our trust in, we are watching this happen all over again as the same damn man and his same damn thugs are murdering innocent people in our streets right now.

As we figure our way out of this, because we have to figure our way out of this, everybody needs to know this for sure right now:

We were right about all of it, and it’s about damn time everybody started listening to us.
