Today I am thankful for Comedy.
Whether it is the comedy of Douglas Adams -or- the inadvertent comedy of Donald Trump,
It still makes me laugh.
It's strange how much life imitates art, isn't it?
Have you ever read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
If you have, you know that Zaphod Beeblebrox, the ultimate two headed party boy, got himself elected as President of the Universe. There were claims of voter fraud because his opponent believed Zaphod won by tricking people into believing that they were voting for the worst dressed sentient being in the universe.
His first act as President involved stealing a state of the art spaceship called the Heart of Gold.
I'm beginning to wonder if Trump is imitating Beeblebrox.
Where is Humma Kavula when you need him? That may be a fun archetype to play the next time I'm running a race against an ego maniacal ignoramus. I play a good religious nut-job (see below).
Wouldn't that be fun?
For some reason, the blackout of the EPA made me think that Trump is up to something horrible.
I'm libertarian. I love the idea of a smaller government. I also love the idea of transparency.
A media blackout is not transparent. At this point, I'm wondering if Trump is going to start hiding more crap and looting the treasury.
I'm going to try to keep an open mind.
If he wants us to trust him, he's going to have to be more transparent.

I wanted to share the subconscious promise that Trump made to Mexicans during his inaugural speech.
I've highlighted each promise he made to America. Remember.....words have power. Every word uttered is a spell. A promise is a promise and the universe hears the promises we make.
America comprises several countries including the USA, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Chile, Brazil and others....
Trump promised a heck of a lot to the countries of the Americas. It doesn't matter what he thinks he said.....the Gods heard the words he uttered.
Words have power. Trump uttered a prosperity spell for all the countries of America. You may be afraid that he'll fuck with Mexico. He won't. You may think he'll stop free trade with Mexico. He won't.
His subconscious mind betrays him. He basically says that the USA belongs to all of America.
Read it for yourself.
We,
the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to
rebuild our country and restore its promise for all of our people.
Together,
we will determine the course of America and the world for many, many
years to come.
We
will face challenges, we will confront hardships, but we will get the
job done.
Every
four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and
peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President
Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout
this transition. They have been magnificent. Thank you.
For
too long, a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the
rewards of government while the people have borne the
cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share
in its wealth. Politicians prospered, but the jobs left and the
factories closed. The establishment protected itself, but not
the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your
victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs. And while they
celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for
struggling families all across our land.
That
all changes starting right here and right now because this moment is
your moment, it belongs to you.
It
belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all
across America. This is your day. This is your celebration. And this,
the United States of America, is your country.
What
truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether
our government is controlled by the people. January 20th, 2017 will
be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of
this nation again. The forgotten men and women of our country will be
forgotten no longer.
Everyone
is listening to you now. You came by the tens of millions to
become part of a historic movement, the likes of which the world has
never seen before.
At
the center of this movement is a crucial conviction, that a
nation exists to serve its citizens.
Americans
want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their
families, and
good jobs for themselves. These are just and reasonable demands of
righteous people and a righteous public.
But
for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: mothers and
children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted out factories
scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an
education system flush with cash, but which leaves our young and
beautiful students deprived of all knowledge; and the crime and the
gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our
country of so much unrealized potential.
This
American carnage stops right here and stops right now.
We
are one nation and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our
dreams. And their success will be our success. We share one heart,
one home, and one glorious destiny. The
oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all
Americans.
For
many decades, we've enriched foreign industry at the expense of
American industry; subsidized the armies of other countries, while
allowing for the very sad depletion of our military. We've defended
other nations' borders while refusing to defend our own.
And
spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas while America's
infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay. We've made
other countries rich, while the wealth, strength and confidence of
our country has dissipated over the horizon.
One
by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a
thought about the millions and millions of American workers that were
left behind. The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from
their homes and then redistributed all across the world.
But
that is the past. And now, we are looking only to the future.
We
assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard
in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of
power. From this day forward, a new
vision will govern our land. From this day forward, it's going to be
only America first, America first.
Every
decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will
be made to benefit American workers and American families. We
must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making
our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs.Protection
will lead to great prosperity and strength. I will fight for you with
every breath in my body and I will never ever let you down.
America
will start winning again, winning like never before.
We
will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will
bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.
We
will build new roads and highways and bridges and airports and
tunnels and railways all across our wonderful nation. We
will get our people off of welfare and back to work, rebuilding our
country with American hands and American labor.
We
will follow two simple rules; buy
American and hire
American.
We
will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world, but
we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations
to put their own interests first. We do not seek to impose our
way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example. We
will shine for everyone to follow.
We
will reinforce old alliances and form new ones and unite the
civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will
eradicate from the face of the Earth.
At
the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the
United States of America, and through our loyalty to our
country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. When you
open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.
The
Bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when God's people live
together in unity. We must speak our minds openly, debate
our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.
When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.
There
should be no fear. We are protected and we will always be protected.
We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and
law enforcement. And most importantly, we will be protected by
God.
Finally,
we must think big and dream even bigger. In America, we understand
that a nation is only living as long as it is striving. We will no
longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action,
constantly complaining, but never doing anything about it.
The
time for empty talk is over. Now arrives the hour of action.
Do
not allow anyone to tell you that it cannot be done. No challenge can
match the heart and fight and spirit of America. We will not fail.
Our country will thrive and prosper again.
We
stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries
of space, to free the earth from the miseries of disease, and to
harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow. A new
national pride will stir ourselves, lift our sights and heal our
divisions.
It's
time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget, that
whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red
blood of patriots.
We
all enjoy the same glorious freedoms and we all salute the same great
American flag.
And
whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the
wind-swept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night
sky, they will their heart with the same dreams, and they are
infused with the breath of life by the same almighty creator. So to
all Americans in every city near and far, small and large, from
mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You
will never be ignored again.(APPLAUSE) Your voice, your hopes, and
your dreams will define our American destiny. And your courage and
goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.
Together, we will make America strong again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And yes, together we will make America great again.
Together, we will make America strong again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And yes, together we will make America great again.
Thank
you. God bless you. And God bless America.
See?
This guy has no subconscious desire to 'eff with Mexico. He's not going to play around with NAFTA or TPP for that will mess with his rich buddies acquisition of wealth. Sure...he is going to sign executive orders but, seriously, he can't do everything by himself. He has to sell the Senate and House on his idea. Who is to say that they won't kill these agreements, only to create another one that mirrors it? They'll just come up with the same thing with a different name.
He's just pandering. He's just feeding his ego.
Nothing is going to change.
Trust me.
Nothing will change. If it does, it won't last.

I wonder....
How long it'll take him to realize that there are citizens of the U.S.....conservative citizens....who do not identify as Muslim but believe in Islam?
I can tell you of an old Irish-American witch who allegedly controls nearly 500 djinn.
Will she be detained at the airport?
Maybe...it's time for her to ..ask...for a favor.
I wish the veil surrounding Trump be lifted.
Trump is akin to a vampire. He's getting power from Liberal fear. He is not worthy of your emotion, your anger or your fear. He feeds off of it. Stop giving this narcissist your power!
Don't march. Don't bitch. Influence your representatives. Give them your time, energy and money. Trump is a mere figurehead. Give your time and energy to the people who can really make a difference.
Love ya lots,
S.
