How I long for days
When our flag flew for freedom.
Now immigrants flee in fear.

The Art of the Heel
Four Years After
Yep.
When America first woke up, she didn’t know where she was.
She wobbled upright on the couch, her head spinning, the stink of Old Crow and cheap beer hanging in the air. “I’ve got to stop having these crazy blackouts,” she thought.
There was the sound of incoherent mumbling nearby. She gingerly turned her head to look. Oh, God. Richard Spencer was passed out next to her, his head back and his mouth open. Was it possible? Did she make out with a Nazi last night?
America rubbed her face and tried to remember what the hell happened. Nightmarish images floated back to her. The fascist embracing her waist, whispering in her ear. “I will make you feel like a real woman… you’re not a woman until you’ve been taken by a strong man…” And she had let him take her, she suspected.
Her living room was torn to pieces. Trash…

More Golf for Trump, More Funding Cuts for all of U.S.
Maybe trump needs to analyze his spending. He’s flirting with the “let them eat cake” philosophy and we know where that got Marie Antoinette.
This is Trump’s 7th golf weekend in a row. He has been in office 8 weeks. That damn inauguration with the yuge crowds cost him a weekend of leisure.
Each weekend Trump spends at his Mar-a-Lago resort comes at a cost of 3-5 million taxpayer dollars. Add that to the million dollars we spend every week to keep Milania in New York—that’s a lot of something.
Something = Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, Arts funding, Veteran Funding, Energy Assistance, Environmental Protection, Agriculture, Commerse, Educational Grants, 62 program cuts in all—that’s a lot of something.
How long until Trump leaves?https://howlonguntiltrumpleaves.com/#.WM64n52MItQ.twitter

The Salary and Vacations of Donald Trump
Read!
Last week 46 U.S. attorneys were fired by Donald Trump’s administration because they had been part of the Obama administration. I’m not worried that these 46 highly skilled and well connected professionals will starve without Donald Trump signing their pay checks, but I have an idea for how they can keep busy until their next gig.
This is America, a country where anyone can sue anyone for anything. Consider the following:
- A campaign promise is a promise or guarantee made to the public by a candidate or political party who are trying to win an election. Election promises may be instrumental in getting an official elected to office.
- Fraud is deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage, a person who makes deceitful pretenses; a sham; a poseur.
- In a common contract, one agrees to surrender a…

Senate (Tritina)
Brilliant piece by Robert Okaji.
Senate (Tritina)
Not imposition, but welcome. The way
cooperation welcomes coercion, turning the
tenor of the intended phrase, opening
the statement to interpretation, opening
a point without dissension, in the way
of politics, agreeing which fact will shape the
morning, which truth will determine the
next word and the subsequent, as if opening
the issue, claiming to have found the way,
one way, the only, but never actually opening.
* * *
A Tritina might best be described as the lazy poet’s Sestina, consisting of ten rather than 39 lines, with the end words of the first stanza repeating in a specific pattern in the subsequent two stanzas. The last line includes all three end words.
The patterns:
abc
cab
bca
The last line uses the end words in sequence following the pattern of the first stanza.
Making America Russia
A pattern has emerged: a member of Trump’s team is found to have previously undisclosed ties to Russia, or some equally disturbing foreign entanglement, and Trump feigns ignorance.
Roger Stone, former Trump campaign advisor, admitted on Friday to having had private conversations with the Gucifer 2.0, a hacker who is believed to be the Russian operative responsible for leaking information from the DNC during last years campaign. Stone used the words “innocuous”, “banal” and “perfunctory” to describe the private twitter conversations he neglected to mention before this time. Why bother bringing up something so inconsequential?
Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security advisor, who resigned over ties to Russia, we now know also had been an agent on Turkish payroll, drawing an annual salary of $500,000. He disclosed this information to Trump twice, telling him he might register as a foreign agent, yet Trump claims he did not know.
Tillerson’s Russian…

Snapshot #123
I took this one at a rest stop outside of Pensacola, Florida. It’s not the first time I’ve photographed this jet doing a simulated flyover. How about we call it, “Shoot it Again, Sam”?
Take Affordable out of The Affordable Care Act and…The Republican Bill
Seriously. If you voted for trump you must be happy that you’ll be responsible for the loss of health insurance for the poor and elderly.
After much anticipation, we finally have, in our arthritic hands, the proposed bill House Republicans have tirelessly worked on- their answer to the Affordable Care Act. The American Health Care Act (creative), eliminates affordability as the title suggests.
The bill is an answered prayer for rich, healthy twenty year olds everywhere. Of course it can’t be all things to all people, so everyone else is going to be priced out of health insurance. No one will be forced to participate, so we will end up with a majority of the population choosing to be uninsured…in order to keep their phones.
My sarcasm is directed at House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), a man with lifetime government healthcare paid for by taxpayers, a man who makes $175,000. annually- a salary paid by taxpayers, a man wearing an Apple Watch, and holding an IPhone who said, regarding the AHCA:“Americans have…
