A few recurring themes converged this week when the dress-up Attorney General Barbie Doll yelled and deflected her way through a five hour Congressional hearing, setting a new record for embarrassing behavior by a federal appointee, which was, already, a pretty low bar.
Referring often to her little book of personal insults, she perfectly displayed theme number one: emulate the insane asylum inmate in the white house in any way you can, including, it seems, by reducing your vocabulary to a few, repeated, insulting, words.
The winning word of the year? Loser.
Whenever the white house resident wishes to insult a reporter, opponent, critic, or simply rational being, he hurls the word “loser”, which, for him, represents the epitome of “bad”.
Predictably, not only does the sycophantic cover band of dwarfs in his cabinet reflect his propensity for lying, now they also copy his puerile vocabulary. Everyone we don’t like is a “loser”. Pam blondie called Rep. Jamie Raskin a “washed up loser lawyer”. Oh dear that hurt.
It makes great sense, however, for this oval office squatter to hate this word above all others, because, down deep, he knows he is the biggest loser of them all. He lost money in every venture he attempted (until he got to the white house and could grift his way into a fortune of bribes), he lost a big election and, of course, he has lost his marbles.
The real losers? All those who slavishly follow him. They have already lost the confidence and respect of the American people. And, come November, there may be a whole slew of them left standing with a great big L on their foreheads. Nyah nyah.
It Takes More Than a Flag
On my birthday last week, the white house ordered removal of the pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in Christopher Park. The mainstream media called it a “blow” to the LGBTQ movement.
Not really. It takes more than simply removing a flag, symbolic as the gesture might be, to erase the history, courage, and existence of a community. In short order, activists had restored the flag and later, the borough of Manhattan did an official restoration. Recently, Democratic members of Congress introduced legislation to declare the pride flag an official congressional symbol so it can be flown at national monuments.
Seen as just one part of this regime’s push to erase all but white christian history from our memories, it will fail, as will all such attempts. Our history exists in more than a flag or a commemorative plaque or series of pictures and it falls to us to document and remember it, as well as to restore it when the loser-in-chief is, thankfully, just a fading little image in our rear view mirror.
I am also certain that we will not be the ones eventually erased. There is already a long line forming to climb up and tear this puffed-up, pseudo-emperor’s name off of the Kennedy Center and the Peace Center and airports and every single place he has affixed his name. I am certain, however, that he will be remembered. And I am equally certain he won’t like it, as his legacy will consist of greed, mental illness, puffery, mendacity, and temporary destruction of everything from the East Wing to our ties with every former ally.
He might wish to remove our flag or the history of slavery remembered at George Washington’s residence in Philadelphia, but that will all prove to have been a temporary blip. Nothing, however, will remove the honest reports of his failures. Historia non obliviscitur stultorum.
