Thus Spake the Prophet Billy

Our traditional allies no longer trust us. We cozy up to dictators and despots.  We have backed out of every major treaty. We are the laughingstock of the whole world. We have a gulag for immigrants along our southern border. We are in the grasp of a global pandemic that is decimating our population. We are turning a blind eye to climate change. We have 40 million unemployed. We are on the verge of another Great Depression. We have riots breaking out all over the country because of yet another police killing of a black man. We have a low IQ, psychopath, pathological liar, racist, Russian asset president who wears a girdle, lifts, and shits in his pants and has fathered three children (Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka), who appear to have come from the Village of the Damned.

How is all this Making America Great Again?

I am hearing that this election could be like Reagan upsetting incumbent Jimmy Carter in the huge landslide of 1980.

The difference this time though is Jimmy Carter was an honorable man. He accepted defeat graciously, went back to his peanut farm and became the greatest ex-president in US history.

Trump is none of those things and will never become any of those things. He will be screaming “voter fraud” on Trump TV, live and direct from Mar-a-Lago until dysentery finally does him in.

When he loses the election, how this philandering, tax cheat, business failure, con artist, grifter, physically and morally repugnant and odious human being rose to the level of prominence, where his name begins and ends every sentence in our national dialog, will be a tattoo on our collective soul, we will never be able to erase.

Donald Trump is what the Book of Revelations was all about. He is the Devil Incarnate.

As Billy, the Native American in Predator, ominously observes, as he stares up into the trees, realizing he and his comrades are being hunted by an invisible monster:

“We’re all gonna die.”
