Terrible Trumpkin Trolls

images-2

A new Sith Lord has arisen to take charge of the new GOP Totally Dominant Empire of Evil.  He has successfully usurped the throne of power even though the Democratic candidate actually got over a million more votes than he did.

And one of the most surprising things about it is how accidentally the pieces of the Republican Empire seem to have fallen into place.

Lord Trump has benefitted from several evil and self-serving plots that the Republicans have been advancing since the rule of Lord Darth Ronny.  Reagan appointed Scalia of the Many Scales to the Supreme Court.  Scalia and Roberts (a minion appointed by Darth George W. the Rodeo Clown) created the Citizen’s United plan to bathe evil candidates in blood money from billionaires.  They also conspired to loosen the grip of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to allow voter suppression to run rampant in places like Florida, Texas, and North Carolina (two of which should’ve gone blue instead of red without the interference).  The FBI, led by Republican minion Comey, managed to keep the email scandal alive right up until the very week of the election even though they had to admit no evidence of wrong-doing was ever uncovered.  And it seems that the Russian hackery of emails and the publishing of them by Wikileaks might even be connected to statistical anomalies from districts where electronic voting machines were used.  Clinton may have lost 30,000 votes dropped by voting machines in Pennsylvania where she lost the State by 27,000.

Of course, the victory conditions were not really set up to benefit Donald Trump.  The Republicans had intended all along to get a more competent Sith apprentice into the seat of ascendancy like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, or even, if forced to, a (shudder) moderate like John Kasich.  But Trump used incendiary rhetoric to fill the downtrodden masses who are suffering from the demise of the middle class with hatred and blame-bombs, effectively turning them into a vast army of Trolls.  And, unfortunately for the rest of us, Trumpkin Trolls are much better shots than stormtroopers ever were.  All that time in the NRA paid off.

So, simply by accidentally taking the power for himself, Lord Trump has killed us all.  Yes, I mean literally.  He will pull us out of climate-change agreements and revitalize the use of coal to turn this planet into Venus where it is more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface due to rampant greenhouse effects.

And he has plans to put racists, warhawks, misogynists, and criminals in the highest positions of power.  If you don’t believe me, investigate the background of Sith Apprentice Steve Bannon even just a little bit.   He claims darkness is a good thing.

“Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That’s power. It only helps us when they (liberals) get it wrong. When they’re blind to who we are and what we’re doing,” Bannon said in an interview published Friday, his first outside of Breitbart since the election.

One might imagine that Trump Ice Cream would be Nazi flavored.

I know people who voted for Trump.  They are not racists and do not share some of the hateful ideas these Trolls embrace as their own.  I imagine they feel betrayed already by Lord Trump.  If they don’t, they should.

Trump celebrated his rise to the top of the Sith leadership with a scary Trump-head cake.  Presumably during the celebration, at some point, they ate his head.

Show Kindness to Children

1994snow_n

Hopefully on the way to being published.

 

I don’t usually do political stuff, but I need to be an activist for children as a former teacher and current parent.  My novel is about four boys running away from the foster care system that has misused and de-valued them. They are caught in a small Iowa farm town by a terrible blizzard, and it becomes the goal of some of the townspeople to make a place for them in the midst of a deadly snowstorm.  It has some relevance to what’s happening on our southern border.

Children are flocking to this country to escape terrible things and cruel lives of suffering of one sort or another.  Angry Americans are trying to turn them away and shut the door in their faces.  It strikes me that someone is not paying attention to a fundamental fact about children.  Children are valuable.  They are an investment that pays off in the future in ways that you cannot estimate the monetary value of.  They are future people of consequence, potentially able to provide service and gain to the people who willingly take them in.  Many of them have relatives in this country already.  Many of them have plans and places to go already.  But even the ones who are going to cost us time, effort, and money are valuable beyond measure.  We should be taking them in and opening our hearts and our wallets for them.  Didn’t Jesus say, “What you do for the least of these, you do also for me?”  Even if he didn’t say that, that is how we should feel.

I ended my career teaching English to kids who came to Texas from other countries and didn’t speak English well enough to get by without special help.  I met and worked with wonderful young people from Eritrea, Pakistan, Lebanon, Viet Nam, China, El Salvador, and Mexico.  Many of them came to this country with limited resources and no money.  Many of them have had to work very hard for the things we all take for granted.  And here’s the kicker… they are all just like my own great great grandfather who came from Germany and learned English in Pennsylvania where people looked down on him for taking American jobs even though he worked at things most Americans didn’t want to do.  These kids are just like us.  We are not far removed from them in the ways we pretend.  We should not be building fences and fighting to keep them out.  Let’s rather spend the money on celebrating their escape from their troubles and their choice to come help us build a better life in this so-called land of opportunity.
