Simplicity rearranged

So now we know

Remember that thing about the orange baby getting a lot of electoral help from its friends in Russia a few years back? And how it has said nothing but “hoax” ever since? Well now we know, the orange baby did collude with Russia to win its first presidential election.

How do we know? Its national security advisor, Gabbard, just did a political purge of 37 people from intelligence. Who, you might ask, are those people? They were all involved in and had evidence about the orange baby’s collusion with Russia.

Amazing career, that orange baby. It went bankrupt multiple times yet managed to be viewed as a “businessman.” It won an election largely because of help from a foreign adversary, in “the most successful intelligence operation of recent history.” It learned its tactics, I gather, from one of the most odious individuals of the era, Roy Cohn. Then it kicked Cohn to the gutter. It seems to always fail upward, that baby. That traitor. Felon. Con man. Rapist. And probably, somewhere in those Epstein records, that child trafficker.

Where do you think it will end up, historically? Somewhere near Rasputin? Nero? Caligula? Pol Pot?

I literally never once thought about this, but now I am: I’m just a regular person; not notable in any way, really. And now when a subhuman monster has seized power in my society, what recourse do I have? What recourse do any of us have? We’re told that there is power in the sheer numbers of us, but is that really the case, or are we just being placated?



About Me

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. I shouldn’t be surprised, but she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.
