The Native Iowan

Have two granddaughters hanging around for a few days… 7 n 5 yrs old. Kinda OK, they cab wipe their arses unaided, which makes them almost human, but are noisy, always moving n jumping, singing and shouting, are too cute and too much like girls. They screeaach.

Luckily I send them to the basement where they can do all they want and not annoy me.

Nuts n bits of carrot n snacks are littered around the floor in the basement. Paper n books n crayons n crafty type shit make the floor dangerous. Stepping on a lego or a broken crayon is almost deadly for an old fart.

Grace loves having them around.

Teenager home from boarding school so working too much to pay attention to the world very much. I see earth shattering and long overdue legislation about lynching that got pushed through by huge partisan effort. Will change the world, no doubt. Ive been waiting for that insightful move for a long time.

What little I watch the more I despair. 

Fucking Supreme court justice candidate cant explain what a woman is. Blokes are setting records in women’s sport. Women no longer able to complete in their own sport because gender is being cancelled. If I say “I am a woman” no one can argue (discriminate). 

Fucking insanity.

Putin is slipping. I fear he shall get quite dangerous. A cornered dog always bites. 

Uncle Joe is stepping on his dick every time he opens his mouth. Heels-up Harris is cute when she giggles, but as “next in line” she is as attractive as dengue fever.

It’s both frightening, saddening and hilarious but… Trump is gaining steam. The current situation of stupidity and ineptitude is sending people back in time, back to some sad safe place… A Trump Place…

Is there no adequate, capable, sensible, marketable person on the team… either/ any team, that can be a leader?

So sad…

Damn.

I say damn. 

Now, one could sensibly argue that Trump’s mean tweets are a fair trade for shit-for-brains policy. For what appears to be intentional sabotage of the society. Some could argue such if there were no other alternative.

I feel the pendulum swinging.
