Prickly City by Scott Stantis for September 13, 2020

So true.

Some people have really messed up definitions of kindness.

Need more episodes like this.

There are no kind Republicans.

MAKA – Make America Kind Again!!!

tRump is a very busy man. Not only has he been campaigning and running the government but he has even found time to improve the “loser” landscaping of the WH.

Never be cruel, never be cowardly, and never, ever give in to fear. Remember, hate is always foolish, and love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind. Keep your heart in in the right place, and the stars too, remember children can hear you when nobody else will. Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind.

As I have been taught by those in power the kindest thing I can do is correct your aberrant and repulsive thinking.

Nice sentiment from Stantis.

However, at this point, it’s the continued defense of the indefensible.

Here is confirmation of what Americans had repeatedly seen with their own eyes for months: Trump lied about the dangers posed by this killer virus.

And those lies, mostly unchallenged by his Republican allies and largely echoed by conservative media propagandists, shaped the ineffectual federal response and influenced how millions of Americans viewed the risks posed by the pandemic.

One example: sticking with this big lie, Trump, who in early February privately told Woodward that the virus was airborne, refused to encourage mask-wearing. It’s likely that thousands—or tens of thousands—have died due to this.

The politicians who protected Jim Crow and advocated white supremacy poisoned the nation and brought severe harm upon millions.

With their scandals, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan threatened the constitutional order.

But Trump and his GOP minions top that.

They have literally and seriously become an existential threat: A massive number of Americans are dead because of them, many Americans have lost their livelihoods because of them, and the US political system is at serious risk because of them.

There has been no greater betrayal of the United States since the Confederates took up arms against the Union.

When all this is done, Trump and his accomplices, too, will deserve no statues and no honor.

They will merit only infamy.

How to take a general virtue and delegitimize it, hold 2 parties equally guilty of failing to realize the ideal, when one of them is total crud…………………..stantisfernuthinism

You got to try a little kindness

Yes show a little kindness

Just shine your light for everyone to see

And if you try a little kindness

Then you’ll overlook the blindness

Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

^There are those who talk the talk, and then there are those who walk the walk. I’ll go for the actions over the words.

“When I think of all the star systems God had to disrupt and utterly wreck to make it spell out those words just for us, it really drives that whole ‘kindness’ thing home.”

BE KIND … REWIND

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies-‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’”

KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS…

Yeah! Great! … Umm, wait a sec…

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Mark Twain

I had been rewatching the Van Halen Right Now video, and a reference to it led me to Phil Collins Another Day in Paradise, which led me back here.

Well, a fish rots from the head down, so that’s the smell coming from the White House.

That, plus the Swamp that hasn’t been drained that he said that he would drain. NOT!!
