“Trump likes to call his rhetorical style ‘the weave’ but it is actually the result of jumbled synapses fed a steady diet of several stimulants including Adderall, Benzodiazepines, and Diet Coke chasers for the better part of four decades.

POTUS is an addict - and our inability to fully recognize that fact is to the detriment of both our nation and the world at large. Innocent people are dying because of his defects of character. There will be many more to come because of his defunding of Medicaid alone, not to mention the Iran war he started with no idea how to finish.

Donald’s destructive cuts to our nation’s healthcare system, which will disproportionally effect many of his own rural red state voters, were enacted to extend and deepen tax cuts for the billionaires who put him in office; mostly men who are happy to watch the world burn in exchange for record profits, deregulation and consuming natural resources with impunity, while facing no consequences for pollution and over consumption.

Proximity to power and the ability to leverage that influence for your own financial gain has become the coin of our twisted realm. The intoxicating thrill of all this access is seen clearly in the Botoxed cheeks and Chiclet smiles of the agro-odious tech titans as they stood behind Trump at his second inauguration.

We should’ve done a better job of saying ‘what the hell are they even doing there?’, instead it was almost accepted that they had purchased the POTUS and now we were we are all paying the price.

In many ways that was the moment in which the sanctity of our representational democracy was lost and its vertiginous effects continue to hamper a proper response, as if the outrage got stuck in our throats and the scream turned into a muffled cough.

It is now up to us whether or not this is a temporary or permanent condition.”
