Prickly City by Scott Stantis for February 03, 2018

Oh, what’ll you do now, my crazy-haired bum?

Oh, what’ll you do now, my senile old one?

.

I’m a-goin’ to back out ’fore the rain starts a-fallin’

I’ll jet through the night to live in Las Vegas

Where my people are many and their heads are all empty

Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters

Where the hotels downtown house desperate losers

Where the executioner’s guns are always well hidden

Where greed is worshiped, where ideals are forgotten

Where red is the color, where none even wonder

.

And I’ll sell it and tweet it and speak it and breathe it

And deflect from the truth till no one can see it

Then I’ll gloat in my room until I start stinkin’

But I’ll know my fate well before I start dyin’

.

And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard

It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall

Come on 2018, come on!

PS: Dems don’t blow this.

I want one of caves.

Why do otherwise reasonable people embrace the obvious corruption of Mr. Trump?

Why go down the ‘rabbit hole’ and into the far-right echo chambers in order to feel justified?

Why reject 240 years of honest and worthy conservative ideals and patriotism for one crazy old fool?

Is it because destroying 240 years of honest and worthy patriotic progressive ideals is somehow a desirable end?

Morally, can the ‘ends ever justify the means’?

Will the so called ’left’ and ‘right’ combine forces and establish a more perfect union for us and our posterity?

So many questions, so few willing to heed the call of patriotism.

The Koreans wouldn’t waste a bomb on Vegas, but the Muslims might.

Maybe Trump will use IRS and FBI and DoJ the same way as the previous occupant. That should please the democrats.

Once again, Republicans are the disease. Trump is just the bigliest, malignantest symptom.

You’ll notice all the Republican retirement announcements were made after the Koch Brothers tax cuts.

Because integrity.

When Jennifer Rubin, WashPost blogger for Right Turn, is frantic for a Democratic sweep in 2018 and Stantis comes out with this present series of Prickly City (just to name a couple), you know the remnants of those with intellectual integrity from the ruins of the Republican party are desperate for a rescue by the Democratic party. It’s their only hope for rebirth of a respectable conservative party. Same thing applies to the flood of Republicans retiring.
