As The Death Toll Of Covid-19 Reaches Two-Hundred Thousand In The United States, As The West Burns, As Police Murder People Of Color

Donald Trump is a radical materialist, Republicanism is a radically materialistic ideology, people don't matter, except for the materialist, himself and a few other people they care about. It's not the only form of that pathology in the United States, it's encouraged by the media - who, now that it has taken hold are, in some cases, horrified by what they've wrought - it is obviously the functional pathology of about two fifths of the country. They are dangerous, they have to be contained or they vote us -WITH THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE MEDIA- into a Trump, a Bush II, a Reagan, a Nixon. Forcing the media to tell the truth and not carry lies is the only way to fight it. No matter what the language of the First Amendment says, that 18th century formulation is dangerous because it led us into Trump.

The comforting and credulous faith that our system will right itself through myths like presidential impeachment by a wise and responsible Senate convicting even this, among the most criminal presidents of any country in modern history, are just that, faith in things that are not and never will be there to save us. When an effective margin of people can be sold lies through the media to vote in someone as degenerate as a Trump, it is a Constitutional crisis of the kind that those asses in the national media are always warning may happen, with such dire posturing and with such little import. THIS ISN'T THAT THE NICEITIES OF THE IMAGINARY BALANCE BETWEEN THE BRANCHES IS A BIT OFF, THE ENTIRE TREE WAS ROTTED OUT AT THE TRUNK WITH WIDESPREAD MEDIA LIES. THE VERY ELECTION THAT IS THE ONLY LEGITIMIZING FORCE IN ANY POLITICAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN CORRUPTED WITH MEDIA SPREAD LIES.

This is a biblical facing of consequences for the rejection of morality. And it couldn't become any more biblical in what is happening to us, right now, as a result of people buying the long term lies of the media. plague, drought, fires, the uprising against the police murder of Black People, the reaction of the people who have accepted and cherished the lies. There is no source of human telling of human experience and the documentation of the last resort of what will save us, the morality and radical egalitarianism and facing of the consequences of the despoliation of nature and the acceptance of the hardest of truths than what Brueggemann goes through in The Prophetic Imagination, based on the prophetic texts and the historical books that document the serial failures of the Children of Israel in their history.

The American Constitution started out as a corrupt, Solomonic document, written for the benefit of the slave owning class (Madison, Washington, Jefferson, . . . , the class of financiers that Hamilton and the likes of John Jay belonged to, the sharp lawyers who may have had some qualms about that but who were not sufficiently opposed to it or numerous among the "founders" to get protections against them built into it (John Adams). Its worst modern surviving features put there for the protection of the privileges of the slave owning and aristocratic class, the Electoral College, the anti-democratic Senate. Even making it an elected instead of appointed body wasn't enough to make it safe for us. Then there are the badly written sections on presidential powers, the disastrously poetic Bill of Rights. The history of that botched effort in the first Congress is an epic in itself, the real character of Madison's reluctant adoption of it is damning of him as it is the language that the Supreme Court has used to damage and prevent real democracy, should be more known. If you don't take that criticism of the Bill of Rights seriously, read Trump's thug dictator to the CDC, Michael Caputo encouraging Trump's cultists to load their guns LITERALLY and get ready to keep that degenerate in office! Guns the Supreme Court has used the language of the Bill of Rights to put in their hands even as they have shot up school after school, churches, concerts, etc.

The language of the Constitution is what the fascists on the Supreme Court, the Rehnquists, the Roberts, the rest of the overt fascists, the pudding-headed "liberals" who gave the media the power to lie with impunity, who gave advertisers and pornographers decades to prepare us for the biggest liar and admitted sexual assaulter and accused rapist being installed as president - EVEN AS HE LOST THE ELECTION. Those words will always be there until they are changed and no future Supreme Court can either maliciously or stupidly interpret them to have the same effect because, believe me, lawyers are like rats that learn a maze, once they've found a path, they don't ever really forget it, perhaps as an individual, not as a population. The same words will be used the same ways and for the same reason until they are changed. Whatever dangers that MAY arise in that attempt, and those dangers are real BECAUSE OF THOSE JUDICIAL INTERPRETATIONS OF THE PRESENT CONSTITUTION, the dangers we face because of that are here and now.
