The Decline and Fall of America

I'm not going to talk about Charlie Kirk anymore, because I don't want to lose my passport and be denied the opportunity to leave the country based on anything I say getting misconstrued.  There's a bill in Congress that could allow that to happen.  Suffice to say, Kim Alexis restored her Instagram account and removed her Kirk-related Instagram post since I last wrote a post here.  Suffice also to say that I've said enough about Charlie Kirk when I said I condemned his murder even as, as I must say now, his hateful rhetoric led to the hateful action that killed him.

Since I do not give money or support to any terrorist organization, I don't think I'll end up being forbidden to travel outside the country again.  I may get fired from my job, but I can handle that.  Why would I get fired for that?  Because former (former!) MSNBC commentator Matthew Dowd lost his job for saying the exact . . . same . . . thing.

Meanwhile, the Vice President has announced that the administration will seek to shut down liberal-activist groups, and the Attorney General is planning to prosecute hate speech, which is defined as any speech that offends the right - like, say, advocating for more public transit. Trump is planning to sue anyone who questions his finances and his businessman acumen - shut them down to shut them up.  

And if that doesn't work . . . 

 

Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law . . .hangman is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very long . . ..

I know that today, the anniversary day of the signing of the U.S. Constitution, is an inappropriate time to say this, but I'll say it once again anyway - it's time for the United States to break up into separate countries and one of the Democratic states must take the initiative to get the process going by seceding from the Union and starting a chain reaction that will lead to the dissolution of the country, much like Lithuania's secession from the U.S.S.R.  led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union.  It's time to admit that America is finished.  And we have to finish America before America finishes us.
