As of today, Wednesday, December 18th, 2024 we have exactly 33 days until our national nightmare begins. Planning and set up for this period of horrible times has already begun and we will face at least 4 years of the attempted decimation of our social structure, our individual rights and our over 200 years of democracy.
On January 20th, 2025 the Chief Justice of the once actual but no longer, Supreme Court, will administer the oath of office to Donald John Trump and at that point, will usher in our times of ongoing nightmares. One has to simply pay attention to what he and his merry band of clown car occupants have to say to understand that this Heritage Foundation manifesto for the Republic Fascist Party will truly be utilized in the decimation of our once proud and compassionate nation.
Now I am not attempting to do a Chicken little “the sky is falling” routine, trust in the actions and attempted actions from the convicted Felon Trump and his then government flukies were involved with during that previous nightmare of Der Fuhrer’s regime. Frankly, back in the early part of this final year of democracy, when i obtained a soft copy of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 manifesto for the destruction of liberty and justice for all in the good old United States, I was highly concerned, but nothing like what happened this past November when people lost their damn minds, or sat their fat ass on the couch rather than go vote and a declared national danger was elected by one of the smallest margins in the history of presidential elections.
Then I noted that several of my friends, seniors and other retiree folk were making plans to embark to other countries to spend the next four years with head down escapism. One couple I know were already shipping out to Costa Rica and planning to spend the next four years on their motor yacht cruising the Gulf and living in San Jose and Quepos. Others have indicated their preference for Great Britain, and Canada. But the old Captain is not going anywhere, both he and the Admiral are going to stay in our little retirement community with our heads down and pray that that fat slob and his fascist minions don’t screw us over too badly.
So, dear friends and not so dear friends, readers and not so actual readers, until 2029, may we all survive with at least a modicum of our humanity, our democracy, and of course our pension/social security.
