21. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN "WE' NEEDED YOU?
Mon Oct 16, 2017, 01:28 PM
Oct 2017

The Grass Roots’ (appropriately named, at least for this commentary) lyrics keep echoing:
“Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?”

The words take me back to early November 2016 and the desperate attempt to counter the purposeful destruction of our Presidential campaign by blood sucking fascists including—but not limited to—Fox noose, the Russians, and their faithful Comrade James Comey.

The blame, though, lies only partially with these vampires. The real culprit for this devastating debacle centers mostly on our own traitorous succubae. Fact: there were only two people who could have won the presidency. And if you were eligible to vote and did not vote for Her, you voted for him, period; no wiggle room; no dodges; no excuses! This includes you Jill Slime S*^&+_ts, and you Johnson Jackbooted Jackasses, and those others who just didn’t bother. Those include the ones who said to me, when I sought their vote, “it doesn’t matter,” “it won’t make a difference,” “they’re equally corrupt.” What you have wrought is beyond temporary miasma. It is very possibly the destruction of the country and beginning of the end of civilization itself.

Oh, I know what you’re thinking, ‘I’m being overdramatic.’ But what I’m really being is what many in Germany were not in the 1930’s. And what I’m also being is angry. Angry at those who needlessly put us through this nightmare and those who have and will have the blood of millions on their hands.

Hyperbole?
1. Millions will lose their health care. Whether “trump-uncare” passes or not, there is much rollback the president is doing and will do to assure that millions less are spent on health care so that millions more suffer and die. (All, so that millions will be funneled to the very few whom already have millions.)
2. Terrorism: It has already begun, and I’m not discussing the lunatic fringe from the middle east, but the local loonies, many from your friendly neighborhood tax exempt organizations with lots of swastikas in the living room and plenty of hooded sheets in the basement. These terrorists of the far right and their compadres and all those other “American” fanatics feel they have been given the green light to violently rid the community of those whom they and their leader at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue deem unfit.
3. Women’s health: Planned Parenthood has been under siege from religioterrorists since well before Margaret Sanger opened her clinic over 100 years ago. It’s not just about banning abortion—it never was. It’s simply and precisely a war on women. It’s a war on birth control, mammograms, cancer screening and any service that help women improve their well-being and better their lives. Since trump believes that women are good for only “p*_&^y grabbing” and hair pulling, what did all of you who voted against Hillary believe would happen when we were led by this heinous sociopath?
4. Foreign and Domestic Policy: We don’t need to stinkin’ State Department. Just bombast and bluster because that’s working so well with North Korea. Also: To get you ready:
See the following movies:
Cabaret (especially the Beer Garden scene and the song about to whom the future belongs!)
Dr. Strangelove
Manchurian Candidate (the original)
On the Beach
Testament
They make the statement about what is happening and what will happen far better than most any other commentaries you might see or read.
5. Electoral Politics? Impeachment! Forget about it! The next guy up is as awful or, in so many ways, worse than the present demon. The one sneaky intelligent move trump made was appointing a Veep so bland but dangerous that he, if presiding, would be more unctuous and catastrophic than the current p-Resident Evil.
6. The second specious argument is that it will all turn around in 2018. Anyone believing this or using this argument is lying to him/her self and to the rest of the known universe. The pukes will stop at nothing to either make sure voting is restricted to a few select white folk plus a host of Russian hackers or, more likely, manufacture a pre-planned crisis and/or terrorist attack in which many will die, and the govmint” will be “forced” to suspend not only the election but the constitution and any semblance of representative government in the near and far future.
7. Religious Fanaticism: A great deal of the nut jobs on the right are the type of religious fanatics that wish, want, and welcome the end of the world. They not only pray for it, but do all they can to bring it about.
From what I can gather, they think with the end times, they will be magically transported to some Christian Valhalla while the rest of us will suffer the torture of damnation and hell fire by still being ruled by the likes of a Dick Chaney or a Donald Trump.
So these are the folks who want war with Russia/China/North Korea (the more the merrier), who know Climate Change will destroy us and will do all they can to bring it about, and who want to dance at Earth’s funeral.

And these are, by your vote for anyone other than Hillary, the very people you have allowed into the most powerful position in the entire world.

No doubt you will wail, complain, and claim you led marches and organized “resistance” after November. Excuse me, but what the hell has that accomplished? The Supreme Court has been decimated, the justice department has been “Confederatized, and congress is one big mass of traitorous sycohpants. The time you were needed was last fall, and it was last fall when you failed.

YES YOU FAILED! You failed your family, you failed your fellow citizens, you failed your potential and present offspring (if there will be such), and you failed your country and your only planet. Your arrogance, ignorance, and intolerance got us to this point: to the tears and terror, the blood and brutality, and the destruction and death. And every bit of that is on your hands.

So again I ask:
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?

Answer: Sitting around pontificating asininities, making ignorant rationalizations for the upcoming carnage, and selling out your country. And because of that, we the hundred thousands or millions are about to lose our health care, our rights, our country, and possibly our lives. And you: you damn s^*t for brain assholes are exactly like the fascist nut job you elected and just too fucking stupid and/or cavalier to understand you're the same or what your (in)actions have unleashed.
