What has happened to this country…
“When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus.”~~ Turkish Proverb.
A little research revealed that this is not an actual Turkish proverb, but that the proverb has been adopted from a Circassian proverb:
“When an ox moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king, but the palace becomes a barn.”
Either one works for me to describe the current cluster f*** in Washington.

Screw Google and screw those idiots occupying the White House. This the GULF OF MEXICO. It is not the Gulf of America. I am surprised El puto pendejo naranja did not name it the Gulf of Trump.
I am so embarrassed to be a citizen of this country with such a person occupying the presidency. I have been wanting to call this administration The Gang That Could Not Shoot Straight, but that would be a compliment for them.
When will this nightmare end?
I complained to Google about this change and it would wonderful if a lot of other folks did too. However, they do not make it easy to send them feedback. I hunted around for 10 minutes before I figured out how. And then there is the fact that they really do not care what I think.
Somebody please explain to me why tArse, President Muskrat and the dysfunctional association formerly known as the Republican Party are hell bent on destroying the American economy, the social safety net, our relationship with the rest of the world, the climate, and on and on…
A new day, and another day of a stock market meltdown.
A new day, and another day of other countries responding to this unfathomable trade war.
A new day, and another day of praising dictators and disparaging anyone not genuflecting to his Royal Assness.
Someone please enlightened me. Try as I might, none of this makes a lick of sense to me that this clown alley of misanthropic, malevolent misfits are attempting to accomplish.
“Don’t give up, don’t give in, don’t give out. Don’t get lost in a sea of despair.” ~~ Rep. John Lewis
Howsomever, that hand with three fingers raised that you can barely see bobbing in the Sea of Despair belongs to yours truly. Since they have given my country to a con man, I have lost all hope.
It is a nice thought though.
But so it should not go. We are a better people than the cluster f*** that happened last election… or so I used to think.

71,000,000 of my fellow citizens voted for this horrible waste of protoplasm. And now the whole world is laughing at us… Chaos and destruction to fulfill this psychopath’s delusions of grandeur and the Evangelicals’ End Days delusion.
“… I began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy . . . censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, “This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,” the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free.” “ Robert A. Heinlein in Revolt in 2100

I have been working with a young Ecuadorian lady, Micaela, for years for Spanish conversation practice via Skype. She is interesting, curious, and intelligent. I pay for an hour of her time on iTalki, but we frequently find ourselves still conversing 10, 15 and on occasion 20 minutes after our allotted time, if she does not have a class backed up against mine. She does have one trait that reminds me of my son. She frequently plays Devil’s Advocate to whatever I say. Sometimes I think this is just her personality, but I sometimes think it is her method of keeping the conversation going. I have mentioned Devil’s Advocate Micaela in previous posts.
Awhile back we were having a conversation of which I do not remember the theme. For some reason I made the comment Continue reading “Soy americana, también”
Unfortunately for me, Pritzker is across the Mississippi River in Illinois. Missouri Republicans have absolutely lost touch with reality.
There needs to be some serious soul searching amongst the denizens of this country. There was no sane, moral or ethical reason for having voted for the chimera that is DJT, especially this time around, as his psychopathy had been on full display for years.
If you voted for him because your religion is preaching an Armageddon / Second Coming of Christ fantasy, and he is the the agent that God will use to fulfill those end days delusions, you need to apply critical thinking skills to what they are spewing from the pulpits and to religion in general. But then again, it seems to me, the only way for people to be religious is to forego thinking critically about it. With the Evangelicals embracing DJT as they have, faith has become a four letter word in my book.
God save us from the religious.
For the first time in my life I am truly afraid, afraid of future, afraid of what this country is becoming, afraid of many of my fellow citizens, afraid of what DJT and his ilk are going to do to this world. The only bright spot I can see in this cluster f*** is that I will not be around much longer to witness it.
I will never pry Señora out of St. Louis, and I am very fond of her… If not for that, I would definitely see this as a possibility. I thought Costa Rica was a wonderful country with very friendly people. Panama I would have to visit to get a better feel for. The thought of living in Spain has always intrigued me. I hear wonderful things about Portugal. While Italy is not on this list, it has a warm spot in my heart. My Spanish is passable enough that it would not be an issue in 3 of the countries, although English is widely spoken in those three too. My main issue with Central America is that golf courses are few and far between, and not particularly cheap. Of course if my back continues its downward journey, that will cease to be so important. I know that four of the six countries on the list have large ex-pat communities. The other two might, but it would need some research. I am sure he does not really mean it, but I have a long standing offer of housing in Honduras.
I just cannot get over the fact that 71 million of my fellow citizens voted for the monster that is tRump, especially with every sane, main stream Republican screaming at the top of their voice that the Emperor is wearing no clothes, please vote for for the Democrat. There is something fundamentally wrong with the soul of this country. I won’t bore you with a rant about what I think that is.
I may be an American, but I am not a proud American, in fact I am the complete opposite after this election.
