Say What?

If you want to function within the Republican universe, it is important that you be fluent in the language and by that I don’t mean the English language. From what I’ve seen on tv and social media, most of them can’t write it properly let alone speak it correctly.

I mean you have to know what words mean to them as opposed to what they mean to the rest of the world if you really want to understand what they are saying.

For example:

Protesters- the dictionary has defined ‘protester‘ and there is even this little icon you can click on that will say the word for you, but in the Republican universe a ” Protester ” is defined as a Democrat, or a non-white person or someone who wants clean air.

Their definition is a bit convoluted but in Republican speak words are more like pictures and don’t really function the way words do for everybody else.

The term ” self defense ” is a bit harder to grasp because it involves two separate words and therefore in Republican speak two pictures are involved. Anyway.

Self defense does not mean you are left to fend for yourself because no one else is going to do help you. Nope. Self Defense means you are self defending yourself against someone who is not giving you what you want. Like the right temperature soup at a restaurant or saying Trump is not the President.

To wrap this up I will leave you with this. When you run across Republicans who say that they have the God given right to shoot and kill protesters in ‘self defense’ what they are really saying is

They have the God given right to gun down Democrats and anyone else who hurts their feelings or speaks out against their positions.

I know that language grows and changes, why wouldn’t it? As our community grows and is influenced by different cultures as well as technology (some of my co-workers use emojis inter office communications so I’ll know what they ‘mean’ in the message they sent) it’s bound to change. It’s meant to.

I’m just sorry to see it butchered like a baby seal by the Republican party because they still want to project a a thin ( and I do mean thin ) veneer of civility.

Heads up Republicans. That ship has sailed.

The Kenosha Monster

 

Kyle Rittenhouse

Got away with murdering

two  people today.

 

He took his rifle that someone else bought for him

and his MOMMY DROVE him to Kenosha where

he

GUNNED

HIS VICTIMS DOWN.

 

Kyle Rittenhouse is a snot nosed brat

who got away with murder today

and I can’t say I’m all at all surprised.

 

Kyle Rittenhouse is  now the face of every single white man who believes he is not

getting

the due and the respect he was entitled to upon his birth and that they can get it back

with a

gun in one hand and a red cap in the other.

 

I am saying this snot nosed brat’s name over and over again because it’s important to

know the name of the person

who  took rifle that someone else bought for him

and then  had his MOMMY DRIVE him to Kenosha where

he

GUNNED

HIS VICTIMS DOWN

in cold blood

and with the Judge on his side and money donated to him by members of law

enforcement he lived the dream of oppressed, frustrated monsters like himself: Kyle

Rittenhouse got away with murder today.

 

KYLE  RITTENHOUSE’S VICTIMS.

The Feasting Beastie

Word of the Day Challenge: CRAVE

“Louis-Simon Lempereur after Jean-Baptiste Oudry, Le loup et le chien maigre (The Wolf and the Thin Dog), published 1756, hand-colored etching,

 

She wanted what I had

sharp teeth, a sharper tongue

and nice hair.

 

I wanted what she had

a mirror that told her lies

and little car that went vroom vroom.

 

But I like my sharp tongue

my sharp teeth

and when I crave for the things she has

 

I write my stories about death and decay

and mirrors that lie and little cars with fancy names

and instead of craving for what I don’t have, I feast on what I do.

 

I’d Give Anything ( To Fit In )

RDP Thursday: Palisade

Gertrude Abercrombie

 

I wanted to fit in-

so I taught my mouth to smile on command

I taught my eyes to always look down and I kept my voice

low and flat when I socialized at work or on the train.

 

I wanted to fit in

I didn’t want to look defensive and unapproachable

so I stopped wearing dark makeup

and I stopped talking about things like

what it was like to work in a funeral home

and I dressed my dog up like a butterfly for Halloween

instead of a shark.

 

I hacked and I pruned away at myself

so that I would fit until there was nothing left of me at all.

Now I fit in

and I can tell that

everyone else is much, much happier.
