I may never stop shaking my fist at the gods and bemoaning the fact Donald Trump has probably never had better days than the miserable month since the election.
And Kid Rock is telling people to play nice now. Is he sobering up?
Even after the Normandy invasion, we had no idea whether we were gonna win the war. When we did, we resolved to go after the depraved leaders, but treat the rest of the Germans--complicit or not--fairly. We didn't banish them to Siberia or throw them into jail w/o due process. General Marshall even formulated a plan to help them in their darkest hour. We should all be General Marshalls when the time comes. And we know it will.
Where are the leaders? I see Warren, Klobuchar, Schiff and Swalwell.
Some are buried in getting federal judges on the bench, the first line of defense against the sluice about to rain over us.
Others are wasting words criticizing the Biden pardon. They don’t seem to understand that the old rules apply. Time to go to the mattresses. No room for niceties. Fight to keep your heart.
If he actually obtains the White House in January, as it looks like he will, the entire world will be affected. We will all be standing at the edge of the abyss. In the beginning some more than others. They will feel the pain of the deeds he is telling the world he’s going to do. Billionaires have been in charge of this election, billionaires should be obsolete. Sickening how many people have taken 98% of the resources and now choose how they are going to rule the people of the world. And it’s never with compassion or empathy for their fellow man that they think of as only masses from their elite positions. We will be seeing true abuses of power, crimes against humanity if something is not done immediately. Peace out.
You write so beautifully of a kind of sensitivity that disappeared from mainstream American culture long ago, if it ever was a part of it, and maybe that's partly why there was fertile ground for MAGA to rise up. Thank you for shining a light on the best of what human nature is capable of, Noel.
I need to re-read Alice In Wonderland/Through The Looking Glass to find a perfect simile for what is happening now. Thank you, Noel, for shining a light for us in the national darkness.
It really does seem hopeless when I hear Democrats giving us solutions to our problems that they have no possibility of achieving while out of power. Amy Klobachar talking about expanding the ACA this morning on MSNBC is an example. The only way I can get through this is to turn to your Substack and others like Jeff Tiedrich who felt he needed to apologize for his angry post today. We need hope and we need anger as well.
Run for office, my dood!
Powerful Noel. You are a gift of clarity in a very foggy time. PLEASE never stop guiding us with your kindness, truth, and light.
