What Do We Do Now? A Rhetorical Question Deserving a Supreme Answer – OpEdNews.com Headline – Best of TREMR
We must defend ourselves from ourselves from three interconnected fronts:
- Systemic racism has met its global match, because of a wolf in sheep’s clothing murderously took a knee
- As with Hoover to FDR, Reagan to Clinton and GW Bush to Obama, America again needs a Democratic president to rescue our economy from Republican ashes
- America is in first place in global pandemic cases – whose medical response has largely been ignored by a president drowning in his ineptitude and apathy
Nonetheless our 45th vows to pressure Governors to reopen schools; Pence adding, we don’t want CDC guidance to be the reason schools don’t open.
Trump’s envy of North Korea, China, Brazil and Russian despots begs the question: what’s Trump’s end plan for America, if not the end of America?
What is the logical conclusion from, good people on both sides, caging brown children and condoning Blue on Black murder while condemning a Constitutionally guaranteed free press, scientific expertise and the removal of the very symbols that inspire such inhumanity – all while Conservatives in the Senate and in America’s global economy remain silent for anything they say can be used against them in a court of law.
How does Trump get away with such blatant anti-American behavior? Answer: it’s not just Trump resenting and resisting the exceptional potential of an American democracy. So, who has the most to gain from puppeteering an uncouth heathen profaning thought like a fifth-grade gutter mouth, for notoriety?
What does Trump’s shocking rise to the American presidency remind us of: aging old money aristocrats trying to survive post Kaiser Wilhelm II, by controlling an ambitious wannabe?
So, if not in 2020, when will we, put away childish things: Co-puppets Bill Barr and Mitch McConnell, Robber Barons Sheldon Adelson, Charles Koch and Robert Mercer, Money Changers at Deutsche Bank financing debauchery of Jeffrey Epstein and friends – he, believed tearfully retired to the underbelly of oblivion: Citizens United Karl Rove – now offering Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, twenty million dollars?
What if the increase in Trump’s outrageous projecting, it’s not fair Tweets, prove both phycological collapse and spoon fed pablum from Conservative media, anti-Land of the Free rallies and dirty money emissaries like Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon – thinking us too stupid to, follow the money.
Remember when all we had to fear were lies denying our children and grandchildren would die from a mortally wounded planet, murdered by human induced Global Warming, increasingly changing our climate into a mauled entangled clump of dust-laden toxic air, choking on the slothful arsonists’ campfire and cigarette burning debris, left behind without enough polluted water with which to drown our gluttony for self-destructive idolatry: worshiping a pied piper thinking himself, the Lone Ranger?
Does it make us miss, The only thing we have to fear is fear itself?
Then fear this: being tricked into believing the plagues of 2020 will, just disappear, like a puff of smoke from a peace pipe negotiation signaling the end of Red Cloud’s war, magically evaporating our historic desecration of original Americans and raiding current tax dollars – to prove prowess of mask free males like Daniel Snyder, Trump and the DAPL Energy Transfer Partners, whose disregard of what’s sacred reveals internalized masks hiding villainous missions of the real puppeteers.
No matter the history or Futures’ past projections, politics or beachcombing, gender or benders, banquets or food deserts. race or racists, bar hoppers or governors – all living within The Republican Bond in Slop: The Wild Boar Nation are dwelling in a medically, economically and politically New Normal – vulnerable to Conservative Caucasian male Republicans more dangerous than Trump’s collaborator, Vladimir Putin.
America’s leadership is riddled with traitors to, Duty, Honor, Country – Conservatives plotting to subjugate voters, elections, willingly sacrificing unprotected by mandate constituents to COVID-19.
One-by-one, every day, separated and alone, thousands continue to fall because of Corporatism’s human greed, Republican political expediency and a desperate White House misfit.
Still wounded by our sixties’ assassinations, we’ve remained increasingly vulnerable to attacks, especially since 20 January 2001 – but only 9/11 and Russian hackers have been foreign invasions.
Our dishonest, morally bankrupt president bullying Whistleblowers, intimidating school districts, attempting to demoralize the very foundations of American democracy and the unrestrained extremes of COVID-19 magnifying our strengths and weaknesses, are domestic threats, aided and abetted by our, elected.
Clearly, the creators of The Great Recession, forever oil wars and Trump’s bigots have created an America divided against itself: one, a violent tribe fearful of real democracy, an emancipated diverse America vs. a camp of seers peering through the rainbow’s prism.
True patriotism is sharing, faith of our fathers, hope by and by and love for all the people, knowing no president is immune to Justice for All.
Hold onto Bits of Joy, but Not to the Past, nor what passed for Normal – Best of TREMR, OpEdNews.com Headline
We, and our News Media, need to get beyond the low hanging fruit of a politized dishonest Trump press conference and wake up to the reality of how bad America was before the Trump administration, how ugly it’s become since 16 June 2015 and how desperately we need to heed the humbling lessons of the Coronavirus: COVID-19.
First, delete, Getting Back to Normal from our Bucket List.
Second, remember we’ve never been completely united. Nonetheless our Exceptional Experiment was born, despite 20% of us, Loyalists to a real King.
Since 22 November 1963, however, we’ve increasingly ceded our power to the few who measure human value by income rather than character – even selling fake face masks to the unsuspecting.
To rediscover the good in America, we need let go of pre-COVID-19 and emulate our present professional and family caregivers, first stay-at-home responding governors, artists and the Arts beckoning us to a future that recharges our imaginative possibilities and reignites our creative powers to adapt and carry on.
We can resist reason with warlike boy toys, or rediscover, if not the balance of United We Stand, then at least the prudence of reopening an America wearing masks to protect others, gloves to protect ourselves and social distancing that spares all from, greater love has no one than to lay down their life for a stranger in need.
America has always been about informed choices:
- Obamagate’s 2014 response to Ebola or Trump’s negate reaction to 2019-20 Coronavirus
- Embarrassed by waiting in long lines for food, or grateful for the kindness of strangers
- Stay at home to save the lives of essential workers, or at least, love thy neighbor as thyself with humanitarian social distancing.
Just because a third of us don’t know America’s greatness is due in large part to its immigrant culture, doesn’t excuse our tolerating the obvious bigoty of the world leader geographically closest to us.
America’s greatness overflows from those courageous enough to learn from our historic mistakes, like the, Trail of Tears, and other reaffirmations of the arrogance of Nativists, and ignorance of denying the catastrophic reality of the ultimate pandemic: Climate Change.
Recalling our heritage of stabilizing regional economies through slavery’s forced free labor, we might recognize the fruits of its offspring: There are now 573 Native-American tribes in America – and many of America’s owner class, care less for low wage earner health, because owners work in offices far above and away from working conditions, which embellished their bottom line expeditiously before COVID-19 or its American enabler, Donald Trump.
If we are ever to be what we claim we are, we must first realize our goal cannot be to recapture yesterday’s normal, but by absorbing COVID-19’s true lessons: on 3 November 2020, we can choose continued disarray or graduate honorably from disunity to courageous cocreation on a new canvass of harmonious reason.
New York Republican Rep. Peter T. King and most House Democrats voted in favor of the Heroes Act, which Trump and veto ally Mitch McConnell promise, DOA.
Heroes Zoom: dancing in the streets; serenading soloists, high school musicals, we’ve become Shakespeare perhaps sparing, eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow someone you touched may die.
Neither, rewarding Trump’s criminal associates with a get out of jail free card, blamed on Coronavirus, while the prison infection rate among black and brown Americans now eclipses the spread of COVID-19 among the general public – nor Peter Navarro’s projected sins on the CDC and HHS Secretary Alex Azar fairytales can be the, back to normal we seek.
Allowing White House cronies to convince us that sheltering in place is worse for our health than a psychologically damaged, and largely ineffective federal executive response to COVID-19, is the root-cause of our national mental anguish.
We must focus on rebuilding America, not returning to what we settled for before the reality show host was forced to admit the reality of a global pandemic in the home we’ve temporarily provided him.
If Conservative Republican leaders weren’t bankrolled by Dirty Money, Dr. Fauci and the CDC would be allowed to exercise our First Amendment privilege of Free Speech. Being informed with all the facts is the best solution for America economically, ethically and emotionally.
May 11th, I heard my Tattingers’ friend Jerry Stiller had died; and coincidentally, I interviewed a friend with COVID-19.
It’s unrealistic to expect most presidents to preserve our union, protect us from WWIII, or defend us against Great Depression and world war, because, government is choosing between the bad and worse – President Kennedy.
We can choose to legalize GOP Gerrymandering or, Voting by Mail, eliminate forevermore this, normal.
The best thing we can learn from our past, is to graduate from it.
