America Isn’t Number One Anymore

Read Time:5 Minute, 13 Second

by Gregory B. Gonzalez

Heavy sigh!  One day—I just want one damn day where I don’t have to hear Donald Trump’s name or the latest stupid thing he’s done. One day where I can take a deep breath and appreciate all the good things in life, but the Shitgibbon has made that all but impossible.

A friend of mine told me that I shouldn’t take this shit so seriously, but that was after he tried to convince me how we ‘needed’ to secure our borders. I was like, “From what, a zombie apocalypse in Mexico?”

We are nearly a month into Trump’s partial shutdown of the government, and it shows no sign of getting resolved. Trump is adamant about getting five billion for a monument to his lack of a penis, even going so far as to plead his case to the American people, in a ten minute lie disguised as a Presidential address. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi and the democrats are shrugging their shoulders, standing around like parents trying to look casual while their toddler throws a hissy fit because he wants a new toy.

Personally, I think the wall has become more of a metaphor at this point, because Trump has refused to compromise on any level. Maybe we should just prop him up at the border with a stop sign. That would work. He’s repellent enough that any immigrant who wanted to come in would get one look at his ugly mug and think, “Hmm…. get shot by drug dealers or Trump? I think I’ll take my chances with the cartels!”

There is no crisis on the border, other than attendance at the donkey sex shows having experienced a sharp decline due to more attention being showered at the crossings. The white people going into Tijuana don’t want to get recognized.

This isn’t really even about the wall or border security.  This is just a show for Trump to beat his chest to the other apes in his tribe to prove he’s still the alpha. He figures that by picking a fight over the wall and holding out against the ‘evil’ democrats that he’s demonstrating a show of strength. And of course, the other primates in his cult are eating it up like it was feeding time at the zoo.

But to those of us who live in reality, the shutdown is hurting the 800,000 government workers who aren’t getting paid or being forced to work without pay on top of it. It shouldn’t surprise anyone. Donald Trump is known for stiffing people who have worked for him in the past. Why did anyone think this would be any different? I will bet you money that when the shutdown finally does end, Trump will still refuse to pay up, citing ‘that the nation will suffer a great financial hardship to the taxpayers’ if he has to give out all that back pay.

If Trump truly cared about the American people, he would back down and find a way to compromise. But thugs don’t compromise- they have to get things done by intimidation. I mean, when was the last time you saw a loan shark on THE PEOPLE’S COURT?

During the election, Trump swore up and down (also like an ape), that he would make Mexico pay for the wall, and now he’s telling people he never said it as though they were gonna cut us a check. Well, no shit. What were they gonna do, pay us in pesos? It doesn’t matter how they were going to pay- the point was that the American people weren’t supposed to foot the bill. But his rabid pack of fools is okay with handing him billions of dollars of their own money. Morons. That’s like a rape victim going to a sports bar and shouting, “Who’s down for a gangbang?!”

I have a way to stop the shutdown AND give Rosemary’s adult baby and Cult 45 what they want. It’s really quite simple- since the major GOP donors are all bloodsucking billionnares like Trump is supposed to be, why doesn’t he just get them to pony up a billion apiece to get him started? That way, the wall gets built and they can finally earn the tax break they got. I’m sure that the Mercers, the Koch brothers, and Sheldon Adelson could spare some scratch. Trump can even mollify both his base and the economy by making them build it. Problem solved.

Or does that make too much sense?

Oh, I know it will never happen. Trump and the rest are too cheap to do anything that doesn’t benefit their own interests, and Trump’s base is so dumb that they actually gave $20 million of their own money to have the stupid wall built.

Instead of refunding the money back to the nitwits who donated, GoFundMe should give that money to the government workers who aren’t getting paid. Again, it’s not gonna happen because it makes too much sense.

Remember the good old days when America pretended to be ‘the great, shining light on top of the hill?’ When we at least acted like we cared? Now we’re fighting amongst ourselves and screaming, “America first!” Well, I have some bad news for you- we live in a world where America isn’t number one anymore, except maybe in prison population. But the prison I’m talking about is the one Trump wants to cage us into.

If we had become isolationists back in World War II, the world would look very different than it does today. Back then, we were the great, shining light on the hill. We fought for freedom. We fought for something greater. This isn’t who we are, or who we are meant to be.

I don’t know what Donald Trump’s vision for America is, but I know it isn’t mine. I want justice, equality, and freedom. I want this country to lead the way—not through threats, or by intimidation, or by subterfuge. No! I want to lead the way by example—with compassion, determination, and strength, the kind that protects and perseveres. The way it was intended to be, the way it should be now.

A report from Tijuana yesterday (14th January) quoted “We don’t know who else is in that group,” says Rodney Scott, chief of the San Diego Border Patrol Sector. “The sheer numbers indicate there are nefarious people within the caravans.”

No, I think a wall is just silly and I think Trump is a complete tosser and closing down the government thus causing employees to not get paid is disgraceful in the extremis….but – I wouldn’t let Trump entirely distract you from what is clearly going on at your border?

Yes. America is now “number two” and day after day, after day, it’s getting harder and harder to get rid of the bad. We’re pretty much backed up.

It’s not so much that America isn’t number one – but that it’s now number two.

Well written Greg. I guess it is good that some of us have not tired of beating this horse any more. No offense man but I have just gotten tired of describing Trump and his antics. All of the names you and I and Mike and Jess, it has just gotten old. There is no question now that Donald Trump is not just a piece of shit, he is the embodiment of shit itself. It may turn out that Trump may actually be the fictionalized dream of every spy story writer that ever lived. It is as if Robert Ludlum finally wrote the perfect spy novel, not that his others were not great, and Trump and Putin decided to make it come true. The Russians not only are able to compromise the President of the United States, they get one of their assets elected to the presidency. I mean, this is only fantasy, right?

I’m right where you are Bill. Tired, and so is the horse.
