Garbage (American Revelation XVIII, Three.)

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she said in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. ~Revelation 18:1-10

Simon Adebisi: See, we are all of us bad men, even you. I know you have come to destroy me.

Kareem Said: Simon, I don't want to destroy you. I want to help you change.

Simon Adebisi: That is what would destroy me.

I saw this crap yesterday.

Trump getting in a garbage truck painted up with his name and slogan, while looking and walking like me in my early 20's after my accident when I'd drunk 4 or five tallboys of Steel Reserve and chased that with a blunt...then riding around on an airport tarmac looking like an idiot, and then giving a damn speech dressed like a fool in an orange safety vest like his ass was cosplaying as a garbage man.

I'm sick of this bullshit.

If we don't take out the trash next Tuesday and get rid of this son of a bitch in an overwhelming Reagan-in-1984-level blowout, we're fucked, America.

Because MAGA's goal is a civil war and destruction for its own sake if they cannot enslave the rest of us outright and force us to like it. These fucking people don't want a nation, they want an unending narcissistic blowjob for themselves.

If it's anything less than a goddamned electoral curb-stomping on Tuesday, even if this clown loses by enough of a margin that he and Republicans can't fuck with it, he's gonna try and break some small banana republic off of America and declare himself President-For-Life of it. 

When men stop believing in God, it isn't that they then believe in nothing: they believe in everything. ~Umberto Eco

Remember, Downsizing and "Peace With Honor" and taking their ball and going home, withdrawing but then blaming the Democrats for their own failures is what Republicans do. Sooner or later, they're gonna try that shit here.

It'll likely be (or start) in South Florida, because that's where Trump lives, and backed by Russian arms and Russian money and a haven for Russian oligarchs who (of course) don't want to live in Russia. And no, it doesn't matter how much of a shithole it is past the glittering spires of a Miami turned into a Western equivalent of Dubai (which, if you ask me, is probably where Trump would actually spend most of his time with JD or Ron running shit as a goddamn regent) MAGA's and other far-rightists will worship the goddamned place. Fuck, it'll replace Israel and the Middle East as the locus of various End Times horseshit, you watch. 

The economic numbers, blah blah blah, will be pure hokum. The military of this shithole will be the Wagner group with the serial numbers filed off, Hulk Hogan and RFK Jr. and any dumbass Florida Man who can talk real loud will be their fucking government. This shit will basically be the kind of political donkey-show bullshit Trump thought he was gonna pull the first time, forever.

And no, nobody really wants to see the political, religious and ultimately literal fight between Russian Orthodox, Sedevacantist Catholics and Woo Woo Pentecostals for who controls the religious life of their shitty little MAGA-Land. This is going to end badly on its own account simply because the Orthodox will turn out to be the most ruthless of the three and they have KGB backing.

It'll be the Central African Republic, but for White people. And no, I don't think a majority of MAGA's who can get in will care as long as we're outside the fence.

But trust me, when it takes about five seconds for the Medieval Catholics (You know, people like Newt Gingrich, who cheat on their wives and then go to Confession) to politically buttfuck the Evangelicals and and all the little "Conservative" kids...or the ones whose parents are rich enough to send them to school, anyway, will (because Putin will demand it) be learning Russian and the place will likely have itself an actual functioning Communist Party (for the simple reason that without political opposition to fight with, most of the people who live there or join this thing or don't get away will end up bored and wander off) but one that's taking orders from its equivalent in Moscow, same as the old days...it'll be completely lost on these fucking idiots that they managed to create the mutant love child of "Chuck Norris in Invasion USA" and The Handmaid's Tale with a side piece of Idiocracy.

And they'll have international recognition because Russia (at minimum) will back them and because probably at least a third of the United Nations is outright Hamas and Putin simps, don't think they won't get that shit. for the simple reason that even an America still at 95% and on the rebound with a bunch of its chaos agents removed will be 5% less able to help somebody else (like Ukraine) and if we defend the EU or Ukraine or South Korea we're always in danger of a two-front war or of an insurgency started by the White-Bread Liberation Front in Idaho or some shit.

I mean, if you think about it we parked a sizeable percentage of the United States Air Force in Saudi Arabia, a country that's pretty much the sand chafing at the asshole of the Earth, to deter Saddam Hussein when we had to know Saddam really couldn't do all that much. I know, I was literally there.

But we took the threat seriously enough. We had to.

And the longer this crap goes on and the more these MAGA's and Republicans belabor the point and drag this shit out, the more convinced I become that most of the rest of America, from the staunchest most dedicated Evangelical Republican For Harris to the most fanatical Antifa hard-leftist bare-knuckled street brawler in Portland is gonna shrug and be like "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" no matter how bad it gets for anybody who's not-rich that lives there and can't or won't leave.

Yes, I think 30 years of Republican unreasonableness in general and 10 years of MAGA in particular has done that much damage to American unity. And the only way to stop that, or worse, is for all of us to stand up and say "No."

In point of fact, the way it's looking so far, America's women seem to be on track to do most of the work on that themselves and Republicans are already mad as hell about it, and they ain't even lost yet.

Just in case you were wondering what these motherfuckers are gonna wanna fight about next.

Think about that, for a second.


Why, why, why, 
why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't wanna fuck in the first place? Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked. Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach military age. Then they think you're just fine. Just what they've been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. Pro-life... pro-life... These people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they'll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it? They're not pro-life. You know what they are? They're anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don't like them. They don't like women. They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state. ~George Carlin

Consider these fucking people's creepy-ass obsession with [White women's] fertility and childbearing, and that their ideal of a "Nation" is basically the Killing Fields of Khmer Rouge Cambodia, but with a mall.

People like JD Vance and the rest of these medieval Catholic ninnies are obsessed with that shit (now closely followed by the Russian Orthodox over there) because they want two things; Cannon Fodder and Slave Labor but this time they want it to be White, in part, I'm sure, because they think White idiots will be easier to control than other people who got sick of that shit, and who (truth be told) always resisted to some degree and wanted to be citizens, where "White Conservative" people will (they think) be fine with being slaves as long as they're a better class of slaves than some of the other slaves.

This has always been true of the "Pro-Life" movement, it's just that now they're being explicit about it.

It's not so much that Fascism or Nazi shit or Stalinist Totalitarianism is what they want...it's that they're actively looking to found an even worse ideology that will require new words to be made to describe how evil it is.

You either believe in freedom or you don't. You're either willing to fight for it or you're not.


Time's coming where, one way or another we're all gonna have to stand up and be better citizens.

Tuesday.

We can take out this Garbage Man and drive these wannabe demons and inquisitors alike from our public life, or we can spend the next 100 years refighting all the same shit from the last 100 years while all the other advanced nations leave us in the dust and America becomes a failed state like Russia did.

Your call, America.

As for me, I'm sick of this shit.

No Going Back.

The Holy Quran says it, "Pilgrimage to the House [of God built by the prophet Abraham] is a duty men owe to God; those who are able, make the journey." (3:97) Allah said: "And proclaim the pilgrimage among men; they will come to you on foot and upon each lean camel, they will come from every deep ravine" (22:27).Every one of the thousands at the airport, about to leave for Jeddah, was dressed this way. You could be a king or a peasant and no one would know. Some powerful personages, who were discreetly pointed out to me, had on the same thing I had on. Once thus dressed, we all had begun intermittently calling out "Labbayka! (Allahumma) Labbayka!" (Here I come, O Lord!) Packed in the plane were white, black, brown, red, and yellow people, blue eyes and blond hair, and my kinky red hair -- all together, brothers! All honoring the same God, all in turn giving equal honor to each other. . . .That is when I first began to reappraise the "white man." It was when I first began to perceive that "white man," as commonly used, means complexion only secondarily; primarily it described attitudes and actions. In America, "white man" meant specific attitudes and actions toward the black man, and toward all other non-white men. But in the Muslim world, I had seen that men with white complexions were more genuinely brotherly than anyone else had ever been. That morning was the start of a radical alteration in my whole outlook about "white" men. ~Malcolm X.

No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well... maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten. ~Hunter S. Thompson, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
