I am trying my best to avoid anything to do with the fakakta inauguration. I am no fan of AOC, but I appreciated her response when asked if she would be attending the schmuck’s big day, “I don’t celebrate rapists,” she said. “So no, I am not going to the inauguration.” Mic drop.

It’s going to be a long 4 years. The orange turd is back, smelly as ever, and no amount of Poo-Pourri or Fight, Fight, Fight cologne will be able to hide the stench of the man or his administration. But what really sucks is the horrible irony of the inauguration of one of the country’s worst examples of humanity falling on Martin Luther King day, a federal holiday honoring one of the better humans the country has ever produced. How do we reconcile a day when the very worst and the very best men this country has ever produced are in the nation’s spotlight at the same time? There is no amount of media whitewashing, or even any amount of good executive decisions or good policies he may enact, that can or will change the nature of the orange turd. He is, always has been, and always will be an a-hole. It pains me that I spend any more of my time thinking or writing about him. But I can’t help myself, because I can’t forget that four years ago today, the a-hole inspired an insurgency against our country and constitution. An act of treason which half our country completely ignored, or pretended to think was nothing more than an overdose of patriotic fervor. And, no Mitch, you spineless turtle head, the legal system did nothing to hold him accountable for his abuses against the law, our country and humanity.
So, what do we do? Hunker down on the arts? Pop in our ear buds and listen to good music for four years? Book a four year cruise in the Gulf of America? I would join an opposition party, but is there one any more? Or are the Dems still navel gazing, finger pointing and licking wounds?
Prepare yourselves for orange turd 2.0. For those of us fearing the worst, we can always reflect positively on better men that have come before, and the hope for better men still to come. And today, a day when we honor one of those greats that came before, we can recall one of his now seemingly prescient quotes, “We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity.”
Be careful out there.
Brad out.
