Tuesday - These certainly are interesting times: Pence wears a mask but we still have to look at the sTrump'et's ugly face

It certainly seems as if we are living in interesting times. This year we've entered the final year of the doofus's term in office, the Covid-19 virus struck the country with unexpected and ongoing force, and finally White folk in large numbers finally are standing up with their fellow citizen of color to seek an end to the endemic and institutionalized racism that has been such an ingrained part of our culture for too, too long, and they aren't doing it quietly.

In DC, the a-hole-in-chief, the Doofus Donald, fumes and rages and pouts ineffectually against forces outside his control. I wouldn't mind seeing the spit on his face when he expectorates into the wind. 

It is interesting that the spokespeople for sTrump'et are saying that he was not verbally briefed on the Russian bounties paid to the Taliban for killing US troops. They are not saying that the matter was not contained in the written intelligence briefings he never bothers to read. I wonder, is he the first truly illiterate President of the United States? It's possible. 

The desperate and loud efforts to keep first Bolton's and now sTrumpet's cousin's books from being published are efforts to keep sordid truth from people who need to know. None of this will convince the crooked Republicans because they already know, and it won't convince the zombie-like diehard ever-sTrump'eters because they won't read it, and if they hear about it somewhere, they will think it's all lies anyway. If they have learned to believe all the manure and fetid things that emerge from the mouth of sTrump'et, the have learned to cover their ears and eyes to anything that might encourage them toward enlightenment.

What is more hypocritical than a sTumpe'eter? They throw hissy fits when someone tells them to wear a ask, they wave a flag and and gun at anyone who disagrees with them, and they call that personal freedom. The only personal freedom they care about is to shit in their neighbor's yard and screw them if they complain, but that neighbor better not do it to them or else they'll put a bullet in them. 

Let's see how they moan and weep when we unelect sTrump'et this year. This is not wishful thinking, it's a call to action: go out and talk to your sane neighbors who might still do the wrong thing and gently get them on the correct path.

Unelect sTrump'et and his ass-licking minions.

Tonight's photos are a double handful of street scenes shot in midtown Manhattan, mostly while strolling with my trusty DSLR during a lunch hour, when I was still able to get to Manhattan. I do long for that and look forward to a time when it can be done again.
