Vitriol Artist

Shame on everyone who are looking at Democrats and pointing fingers, saying that the vitriol must stop.

YOUR president, Donald J. Trump, is the person to blame for ALL of the current vitriol going on in this country presently.  

He advocates and incites violence with his words and actions. 

BEFORE even running for president, he was recorded bragging about using his power, celebrity and stature to sexual assault women. He publicly abused Rosie O'Donnell for YEARS and YEARS. He would use his position with the Miss Universe Pageant to walk in on unclothed women in dressing rooms.  

DURING his campaign, he called for Hillary Clinton's assassination. He asked a foreign government to hack her campaign. He offered to pay for legal fees for his supporters that committed violent acts upon the opposition. He called an entire country's people (Mexico) rapists and criminals. And he made countless campaign promises that targeted people certain groups of people. 

SINCE being inaugurated he has only continued with this vitriol. He has time and time again tried to instate a travel ban for certain countries based solely on a particular religion. He has continued to put for the idea of building a wall to keep out "certain people" -- an act of vitriol in and of itself. He has continued to publicly disparage Hillary Clinton. He has appointed people to the heads of organizations that are directly opposed to the very organizations itself. He has not spoken up when a supporter of his MURDERED in cold blood people trying to interfere with his hate crime. He tweets on an almost daily basis what can only be labeled as hate-filled vitriol at any one he considers to be an "enemy", be it Hillary Clinton, the mainstream media or anyone -- big or small -- considered a journalist. And for the person who is supposed to be the leader of our ENTIRE country, he has never even ONCE reached out to the people who didn't vote for him to reassure that he would be a leader for all citizens. 

DONALD TRUMP IS THE MOST VIOLENT, HATE-FILLED VITRIOL-ARTIST IN MODERN HISTORY. HE MUST BE STOPPED. AND WE MUST STOP HIM.

Taking Patriotism Back!

I am done with you whiny little bitches. I am done with the idea that conservatives or Republicans have a fucking monopoly on patriotism. I'm fucking taking patriotism back!

You know who isn't a US patriot? Someone who flies the Confederate flag. The Civil War was over 150 years ago and you lost. Let me just write that again because I get the feeling that you fragile fucking snowflakes haven't really accepted this yet. You LOST. Your flag is not our flag. Your leaders are not our leaders. Your statues are not our statues and your monuments are not our fucking monuments. You cower behind the idea that keeping these things is important to our history as a country and that's simply not true. This glorified memorabilia of yours doesn't remember history, it praises the losing side. It praises the things that this country chose to let go of, and rightly so. We have plenty of things in this country that properly remember the history of the time. They're called books. Maybe if you were a little more familiar with art and literature instead of believing that the cultured person's passions and vices are a weakness, you'd realize this. 

You tell liberals on a daily basis that they aren't patriots. You use the fact that they don't believe burning the flag should be illegal as your ammunition. You use the simple man's agenda to mislabel an entire group of people just so that you can steal the idea for yourself and yourself alone. 

Do you truly not understand the ideals this country was created under?

Or are you just still so upset that these ideals mean that you don't have the upper hand that you would spit on the very idea of American values? 

You claim our country is Judeo-Christian. You scream it into microphones and you write it on your Facebook page. You tout it like you fucking understand its origins. You don't. George Orwell came up with that concept (in 1939, long after our founding father's were dead). And it wasn't being used as a fucking compliment. 

You do know that we only added "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, right?! The founding father's had NOTHING to do with that. This is the original:

"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

And this was written incidentally by a socialist minister (Francis Bellamy), ya dicks. 

In 1923, it became this: 

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

And it wasn't until our fear of communism came along in 1954 (which none of you people seem to have a problem with anymore) that Eisenhower asked congress to add the "under God" section. 

This country was founded on freedom. It was founded on liberty and justice for fucking ALL motherfuckers. 

Now, that doesn't mean that we haven't had some fairly huge missteps. That doesn't mean that we've always lived these morals the way that we should have. We've made major mistakes. But you trying to make those mistakes our actual value system is hateful, deplorable and embarrassingly ignorant. 

You tell liberals and progressives and that if they don't like this country, they can go ahead and leave it but it seems to me that you're the ones who don't like this country. You're the ones who are trying to change the country to fit your values. You're the ones trying to put your beliefs into the fabric of a country that's already been woven. 

You've added God to our Pledge. You've added God to our money. You've made your religion the backbone of your political arguments. And all the while freedom of religion and separation of church and state is fucking fundamental to the foundation of our country. 

The building blocks of this country are what we and the rest of the world view as true freedom. The ideals of the founding fathers are what we think of when we think of liberty and justice for all. 

The goal of our country should be to continually get closer and closer to those ideals and to use these ideals as a basis for how we respond to our environment. And you, the self-proclaimed patriot, have done absolutely nothing to honor these ideas. The only amendment you seem to care about is the one that gives you guns. 

You're blatantly selfish.

You're paralyzingly ignorant.

You're inexcusably greedy.

You're blindingly hate-filled.

And you're just plain wrong. 

You shout about fucking patriotism while you fly flags that are the polar opposite of patriotic. You holler until your voice is hoarse about a liberal or progressive agenda being unAmerican while you throw temper tantrums over the removal of your monuments and statues that celebrate unAmerican values.

Do you even understand what it means to be a true American? Can you even comprehend the real values that built this country?

You want to make America great again by abandoning American values, you stupid, stupid fuck. 

We're done listening to the white noise of a people (yes, pun very much intended) who can't even begin to understand the irony of their backwards, contradictory ideas. You think there's any pride to be taken in being a fucking fool? You think there's merit in being willfully ignorant and stubbornly stupid? You think that's American?

Cause it's not.

America is about freedom. America is about freedom and liberty and fucking justice. America is about equality and giving a finger to authority figures who try to take all of these things away from us. 

And that includes the police. A true American believes that just because someone wears a uniform and a badge doesn't mean that they get to modify our ideals to their liking. It doesn't mean they get to shoot first and ask questions later. That is NOT their job. Their job is, quite plainly, to SERVE and PROTECT all people, not just themselves. And if they don't like that, they don't have to do that job. Sure, Blue Lives Matter but not any more than any other fucking life in this country and making it seem like they are is decidedly unAmerican. 

Freedom for all. Justice for everyone. Liberty for the masses. And equality for all our people indiscriminately. THAT is America.

And if you don't like it...if you can't be the patriot that our country deserves...YOU, you confederate flag waving, Jim Crow-loving motherfucker, can get the fuck out.

Grabbed by the Pussy, Again

As a woman, I have been grabbed in the pussy by an astonishing number of men and as every woman out there knows, it happens way too early to most of us. The first time I was literally (and I am using the word literally, literally) grabbed in the pussy by a "man" was when I was in the 7th grade. It was a fellow classmate and it was in the middle of the school day at my locker.

I hardly knew this guy. We had homeroom together and that was pretty much the extent of our relationship. We didn't get along. He would pick on me -- maybe not daily but definitely weekly and our homeroom teacher, although not a fan of his, didn't do anything to ever stop him. Generally speaking, I didn't sit quietly and just take his abuse. If he picked on me, in my 7th grade language, I let him know that his presence in my life was unnecessary and unwanted and that above all else, he was a dick.

One day, standing at my locker, I was bending over to put books and whatnot away while he was walking down the hall. As he came by, he reached his grubby hand between my legs and grabbed a hold of my 14 year old pussy.

To this day, I remember that moment clearly. I remember how disgusting it felt to have someone, uninvited, touch me there. I remember feeling used and dirty as soon as it happened, looking around to see if anyone at all had seen. My fucking 14 year old emotions couldn't process what had happened. Part of me wanted there to be someone else who witnessed it, to be enraged with me. But honestly, the bigger part of me felt ashamed and embarrassed. I wanted to crawl into a hole and curl up. I wanted to sink into the ground and disappear.

The sick and sad thing is, that wasn't the first time a guy touched me inappropriately and without consent. And I know, as a woman, I'm not alone there at all. And the reason why this piece of shit kid felt like it was okay for him to do something like that is because of attitudes like our current President Elect's.

Men have, since the beginning of time, used a woman's body to berate her, shame her, stifle her, belittle her and own her. Not all men. This isn't a men-bashing piece but it is honest and these are just facts. Countries have excused it. People have ignored it. Women have accepted it. And religions have condoned and enforced it.

Now that this election is behind us, we stand a nation divided. Those who didn't vote for Trump are being urged to make nice but we've crossed a line that you can't uncross.

Almost exactly half of our voting nation chose the candidate that represents hate. Almost half of our country chose a candidate who bragged about sexual assault, who was openly and fiercely racist and who has proposed several courses of action straight out of World War II.

We have people who talked about Obama's birth certificate and denounced him as President for eight years calling us crybabies for being upset that we demanded an America that doesn't include police harassment of people of color and college rapists who serve little to no time and were denied by our family, friends and neighbors. We had people that we worship with cast a vote that chose their political agenda over American civil rights.

How is it we're supposed to move on from this?

How is it we're supposed to look at you the same way?

How is it we're supposed to trust you?

President Elect Trump is the least of our problems. Sure, putting the words "Commander in Chief" next to his name is tantamount to inciting war and alienating allies but the healing our country needs to do is between its citizens.

Half of us are either in the middle of reeling from just finding out that our rights as human beings literally mean less than nothing to the other half of the country or our belief that we've been discriminated against our entire lives has just been confirmed once again. And the other half is a fucked up combination of people who truly think that minorities of all kinds are in fact less worthy and people who don't seem to realize that there is no more important issue than civil rights and by choosing anything else, they've stabbed their fellow human in the back.

This is the world we live in now and to deny it is the equivalent of burying your head in the sand. You not only expect us to immediately move on but you demand it of us and deny your part in it. You do so in hypocritical tweets, revisionist history Facebook posts and memes and gifs that should embarrass you in the core of your soul rather than make you laugh.

You are sick. And not in the way you probably think I mean. Yes, your words and actions are putrid and vulgar but what I'm talking about is the way your mind works. You are deniers of fact. You refuse see to what is plainly in front of you. You look truth in the face and you call it a lie.

You call us liars.

And how can any good be done, how can any healing ever occur, how can any civilization grow when this basic, fundamental battle exists?

It can't.

It won't.

People are not stopping for a reason.

Protests are about a people refusing to be silenced. It's about people who have been shackled for too long, whose voices have been gagged their entire lives, and whose pussies have been grabbed too many times taking what's rightfully theirs.

Trust me, I'm truly sorry you have a problem with this. What I can't understand is why.

Dr. StrangeRug or How I Learned I Could Be Trump's Speechwriter

I thought we could all use a laugh right about now, so here is my take on Donald Trump's upcoming speech at the Republican National Convention. 

This blog post is in honor of the most excellent decision that Sherwin Williams made to not remove the LeBron James/Cleveland Cavaliers Championship banner from their global headquarters for the Republican National Convention, July 18-21. 

And, away we go (fill in all hand gestures, signs of enthusiasm and general psychotic behavior in your heads)...

"When I heard that the RNC chose Cleveland to host their convention, I was a little unsure. Listen, listen. I'm not gonna lie, I was skeptical. Things weren't great here -- you know it, I know it, we all know it. 

But you know what this city did? You know what brilliant, beautiful thing the people of this city did? They went back to their roots. They went back to their roots and got a hometown guy -- a guy -- a person -- who would rightfully care more about this city than anyone else, right? Right. And you know what they did? They made their city great again. 

You saw that coming, right? Yeah, I can't pull one over on you. Let me say it again though, cause it's so good. It's just so good. They MADE their city GREAT AGAIN. 

And what happened? Well, we all know what happened. We all got on board, amiright? I'm right! Of course, I'm right. We all got on board and Ayesha Curry shut up finally and people enjoyed it. They loved it. Believeland took over. That's what I kept hearing. Believeland. Everywhere, Believeland, right? Genius. Just geniuses these people are and what they did. 

They made their city great again.

And that's why I've always been a big fan of Cleveland. BIG fan! Cause you know, Cleveland, it's just like America. It is, it is! I'm right! You know, I'm right! I'm right so often, I'm almost sick of being right! I'm just kidding, being this right all the time is great. But anyway so Cleveland, you know like America, it's had -- it's had some trouble. It has, you know it has. It had a few years where things weren't looking great, there. Rivers caught on fire. They lost jobs and things. They lost their football team. It just -- it wasn't great.

But, here's the thing, you know what? Cleveland -- it didn't lose hope. Never. Not once. And you know why? Cause winners never lose hope. Never. Why? Cause they know they can still win. And you did. You knew that and you saw it and you didn't give up. You saw what needed to be done and you did it. And that's what winners do. 

You know, you welcomed LeBron back even though -- you know -- there were some hurt feelings. He left. He needed to do his thing. And that's great. That's great. He's a champ. He did what he had to do. But then he decided he wanted to make his home team GREAT AGAIN. And that's -- well basically, that's just like me -- that's what I'm doing. That's what I'm doing here.

I'm like the LeBron of business and politics. Of country-running. Or really, he's like the Donald Trump of basketball. That sounds better, right? More accurate. Besides, I was here first. I'm just saying, I was. 

And you know, I've had success. A lot of success. BIG success! You know it. Some might say I'm a business CHAMP. I don't know, I'm just saying, those are words I've heard. And now I'm just trying to help my home team. I don't have to do this. You know, that's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the real thing, folks. I don't have to do this. I don't. You know I don't. You all know me. You know I don't have to do this. I could still just be the greatest business mogul in the world. It's a good job. I won't lie. It's good. You've seen my plane, right?! 

But instead, I've decided to use my championship business sense for our country. Can you imagine that? Can you just imagine if our country did as well as my businesses? Can you imagine if I did to our country what I did for television with The Apprentice? You remember NBC before me, right? And now that I'm not there anymore? You hear the jokes. Nobody watches. It's true. It's true. 

But, come on, it's so easy. It's almost too easy. Cause see, like I said, like everyone says, I'm very good. I'm very good at what I do. And now I've decided to make America what I do. Really just imagine it. Cause it's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing, I tell you. 

But, you know, some people are going to try and stop it. I know, I know, boo, boo. But they are, they are. They've already started. They're going to make up things and spread lies and all the stuff that losers do. Like little Ayesha Curry -- Bitter Ayesha -- right, Cleveland? And these losers, they're going to take to Twitter and try and make it seem like they're really winning. And don't get me wrong, I love Twitter. I'm the KING of Twitter! My tweets -- have you read them? They're good. That's all I'm going to say. They're very good. 

But these people, like Bitter Ayesha and Crooked Hillary and Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren, they're going to try to distract people from the real issues with their silly, little tweets. "Delete your account?" So juvenile. So juvenile. And these people are supposed to lead our country. I mean, can you imagine If I left Twitter? People would go crazy! People would, I don't know, maybe revolt, if I left Twitter. They love me. They love my tweets! So good, right?! 

But we all know what's really going on here. We all know what those girls are up to. I mean ladies -- they get so touchy when you don't call them ladies, amiright? Very PC stuff. Right? I'm right, right? You know I'm right. We can't say anything anymore. Everyone's so touchy about everything. Everyone takes offense at everything. You can't use a sherif's badge in a tweet without having people say you're anti-Semitic. Ridiculous -- the Jews love me! Are you kidding me? I have Jew friends. Look at the businesses I'm in! I know lots of Jews. But you can't say anything anymore.

But these losers, cause that's what they are -- and to prove it, they're going to lose in November, just watch -- these losers, they're just trying to distract from what we really need to do in this country. With their Planned Parenthoods and their gun laws. With their political correctness and their sit-ins -- they're just trying to keep us from doing what really needs to be done. 

And that's what losers do. I know. I've seen a lot of them. They're always at the other end of the table when I make my best business moves. So, I know losers. No one knows losers like winners. Right? Am I right? Of course, I am. But that's what losers do. That's all they can do. They can't win so they try to pretend like they're not losers and try to convince the rest of us that they're not losers, too.

But here's the good thing, folks. You've got me. You've got The Donald. You've picked the right team -- the winning team. I'm a winner. That's all there is to it. I'm a winner. I'm THE winner. 

So, I think it's -- it's like fate stepped in or magic, maybe. I don't do the magic but you can ask my good friend Penn Gillett. I bet he'd say it was magic. That here I am -- A Life Champion --in Cleveland, Ohio -- the new American Champion to make America Great Again. You know what it is, I bet Cleveland read The Art of the Deal. It's very good. Very helpful. Amazing for winners! We have some around the convention center. There are tables. It's very good. Cleveland's read it. Then they took their city back.  

So I think that it's perfect that here -- right here -- in CLEVELAND, OHIO, where the tide just turned after 50 years of taking it from these other people -- these people that thought they we're nothing. And here's the thing, folks. That's what all these people think of us. They think we're nothing. They think we're fools. They think they can come here and mess with us and that we won't do anything in return.  And that's what the losers, that's what the losers want us to do. Nothing. Or worse, just hand everything over to them. Can you imagine?

You won't have to if they had their way.

But, guess what, folks? We're gonna do this thing! Cause you've got The Champ. You've got The Winner's Winner, here. And here in the GREAT Cleveland, Ohio, we're going to tell the WORLD that we're back! That America is back! And you know what we're gonna do? We're gonna MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!"
