This was deep into an #Epstein thread (Remember him?)

But it's deeper and broader, the true (not hyperbole) 'existential threat to... I'll say "live as we've known it", those of us fortunate enough to have many good memories from "peace, love, and rock & roll" to post-war life as usual, knowing we had #law and #Constitution, and crime bosses only become King in that Star Trek episode ... [worth re-seeing; it's so "gangster", no doubt a role model for Sir.]. It is: #Authoritarianism puro

Anyway, we have a mad receptacle of human #evil with the whole world kissing his ... ring .
A madman saying insane things but smiling when people say nice things and give gifts, so all is well. Right? (Have some more SOMA!) Be woke!

Meanwhile, our toddler "King" is globe-trotting for fun and profit while OUR "representatives", under #MAGAMike take the week off as our country is literally about to shut down in days....

Um, who is running the country? What? They've all been fired, canceled, or deported? Nobody home? Ask Sir? Hello, America! Where are you?

And #Colbert. And #Kimmel. #Truth with #humor. #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment

That all means nothing once there IS no other voice of our Supreme Leadership. No #democracy - based Congressional or Legal Checks.

Which is why I think this matters, both the messaging and personal actions #WeThePeople can do - like respond to #ABC /#CBS / #Media

There's so much going on! So much #disinformation and #PTSD and assaults on our #rights and #freedoms

I think that's about all I can say about the state of our collective (?) nation. Can we survive it all?

I yield to George Orwell, who I came "here" to (re) introduce.

Stay safe, comfy, sane, and mindful.
