Whenever we are given power or responsibilities, it is usually best to work on behalf of those for whom the responsibility is entrusted to you...not to do your damnedest best to make everything about you...and work particularly hard to reap all the benefits for yourself.
"With great power comes great responsibility"...is that not the charge of our superheroes.
If I am dreaming - someone please wake me up
I most definitely refuse to live in Sillyville, USA
This is a Plainspoken refuting About Refusing Nonsense
This is a rant about frustration maxed out to the maximum.
Frustration fully decked out with absurdity.
Frustration with a world that is behaving irrationally, wrapped in total madness.
Frustration which glares at me - audaciously asking me to accept what makes no sense.
Frustration...I am talking to you directly. Feel free to transmit this message to the proper authority.
You arrive when the world around me stops making coherent decisions.
You tighten my chest when people in powerful positions treat chaos as normal, it is what it is, so take it or leave it...they seem to say - while not giving a damn.
So now I reiterate, repeat and resoundingly say, without exaggeration,
that if this is a dream, I want to wake up immediately.
I am addressing you because I refuse to adjust myself
to a place where logic is optional
and silliness is treated as a civic duty.
I refuse to live in what I will plainly call
Sillyville, USA—
As a matter of fact- let's include the whole darned world
in this absolute and complete absurdity -
In many other places that are now defined not by geography
but by the collective choice to abandon seriousness.
Frustration, you are justified.
You are the accurate response
to a situation that demands clarity
but offers nonsense instead.
I am not asking for miracles.
I am asking for reality.
If this is a dream,
wake me.
If it is not,
then let me again say clearly:
That I categorically, absolutely, indubitably...affirm
I do not at all consent to life in Sillyville.
USA or anywhere else where madness reigns supreme..
Damn#@%&/&*#%& fecked-up4realworld.

Things are certainly twisted now, but don't ever forget the following: "With great power comes great franchise opportunities." (I think that's what Uncle Ben said, right?)
Hell yeah, I’m with ya on this one. Scathingly accurate, clear minded delivery of critiques that should be universally held but seem increasingly rare. The world is just madness now. Also, that news blurb at the top was a great addition, it set the stage for your take down. Reading that news made me bristle with anger and it’s the perfect, damning example in terms of his character. I mean the naming doesn’t really do anyone any harm, and as far as trumps sins, there are so many way worse and more harmful things he’s done. (War criminal, rapist, pedophile, xenophobic fascist I mean the list goes on.) But it incapsulates the truth of the man, he’s a raging narcissist and his only hope for the power he has is that he can use it to glorify himself. Makes me so ashamed of humanity, that this clown has any support whatsoever, and that our system of “checks and balances” is doing absolute squat to check and balance him
