Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, fuck Trump. It is wrong to wish ill on people but if one person strokes out on new year’s eve, let it be Trump.

Oh christmas wall

Oh christmas wall, Oh christmas wall …
How shutdown is thy government. …

Here we are the weekend before Christmas fighting over a fucking wall.
Did the great wall of china stop Ghengis Khan, nope, he conquered China.
Did Hadrian’s wall stop the Picts, nope, the Romans abandoned Brittania.

So here we are fighting over a demonstrably useless wall, because the ancient Sumerians created an invention to overcome walls. It was called the ladder. Now the mango Mussolini wants a fence. A spiked fence. Perfect for attaching ropes to those nice spikes. A hundred dollar ladder can defeat a 25 billion dollar fence. Trump is asking for 5 billion for 2019. But this isn’t the full fence. Hell, they haven’t even spent the money from February when he got 1.3 Billion. The full fence cost 25 billion or 5 billion a year for the next 5 years. I am not saying we don’t need border security but a fence isn’t the best use of funds. We have a lot of technology that can do the job better. Border patrol loves the drones and observation balloons. They also like the motion sensors. Although the motion sensors catch a lot more deer than smugglers. Now they want seismic sensors as well to deal with tunneling. We can give them that. Even the technocrats in the border patrol say a wall is stupid. Because ladders.

In other news the Cheeto Fuhrer suffered ignoble defeat before the supreme court with regards to his asylum rules. The law clearly says that asylum seekers have a right to enter the US by any means necessary. This is both US and international law. It is also illegal to make them wait in Mexico.

The fake Christians need to go. I don’t care where, maybe Alabama. Then wall it off. Down to bedrock and 1000 ft high. Christ never said starve the poor, deny medical care to the sick, make the poor homeless. He never said to deny foreigners sanctuary. Quite the opposite to all of that. The prosperity gospel is bullshit. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven. Intolerance and greed are not christian values. Jesus was an asylum seeker. He said what you do to the least, you do unto me. That means feed the poor, harbor the refugee, heal the sick, give the beggar a coat and a place to stay. This is the season of giving and too many “Christians” are only interested in denying what Jesus taught. An atheist should not have to lecture Christians on moral values.

Merry christmas, happy holidays and fuck trump.

Welcome to the odd cynic

In the face of the absurdity of modern American society, I can’t. Seriously, I just can’t. People saying a 7 year old girl dying is a good thing. Millions losing insurance, also a good thing. No, I don’t believe that. I am one of the millions with a pre-existing condition. If you think 7 year old girls dying and people losing insurance are good things, go away. We don’t have a difference of opinion, we have a difference of morality. And by “away”, I mean some place where you won’t influence others. Maybe Siberia, I do not have a coat for you. For those that agree that millions losing insurance and 7 year olds dying are bad things, maybe we can find some solutions to problems. I am sure the rest of the world will ignore us if we do. But fuck them.
