Trump’s first budget is out! And, it is the worst, most Draconian piece of shit ever put forth in the history of the Republic. First, a definition and clarification:
*Draco ( Greek — Drakon) was a 7th Century BCE legislator and law giver (magistrate) that decreed unusual and cruel penalties, including death, for minor crimes. The adjective Draconian is his legacy and is the definition of cruel, unusual and/or extreme responses to minor infractions or circumstances. I used the appellation Drakon to tie Trump to his Russian masters.
Donald Trump — and the Republicans — have taken Draconian to a new and more cruel level: Anyone who is poor, older, female, non-white (the other), immigrant, disabled, ill or may need Federal assistance is scheduled to be thrown under the bus: i.e. pay higher health premiums under that abomination called Trumpcare. Sorry, (YOYO) you’re on your own. All, so the richest 1% assholes can get richer. In addition, he has betrayed those who were convinced by his lies and voted for him. The magnitude of his betrayal hasn’t yet, or may never sink in to those Red State voters and believers. Stupid Sarah Palin’s ‘Death Panels’ are here to help eliminate the least fortunate of us.
He can’t even adhere to the basic principles of the Republic as stated in the Preamble to the Constitution - ’in order to form a more perfect union:’
- Establish Justice
- Insure Domestic Tranquillity
- Provide for the Common Defence
- Promote the General Welfare
- Secure the Blessings of Liberty
This abomination of a budget and Trumpcare by Donnie Drakon does none of that. How does arresting and harassing immigrants and Muslims who have committed no crime insure domestic tranquillity? How does a border wall with Mexico provide for the ‘common’ defence while simultaneously cutting the budget of the Coast Guard? How does cutting support and nutritional programs to the sick, women, children and the elderly promote the general welfare? How does turning the country into a police state secure the blessings of liberty? It doesn’t! All it does is to make the 1% richer and create more uncertainty and fear in the rest of us.
In short he has taken the Constitution, ripped it up and tossed it in the trash. And who suffers? Only about 25+ million people will directly suffer and lose health insurance as a result of his callous, uncaring attitude. He really is Drakon personified, only he does it on a wholesale basis: Not for breaking a law, but for getting old or sick. This abomination of a budget and Trumpcare consign the poor and needy to slow, needless, unrelenting suffering. And the Republicans are aiding and abetting these callous and cruel efforts. According to that OMB asshole Mark Mulvaney: “They can no longer contribute to society so why should the Federal government continue to provide them aid and financial assistance?” That is one of the most disgusting things I have ever heard coming from a government lackey.
One of the arguments about humanity is that they are biologically designed to procreate during their younger years. Women are fertile between about 13 and their late forties, when menopause occurs. No more ability to make babies, therefore — according to the Dominionists and Evangelicals — they serve no further useful purpose to humanity. Testosterone levels in men start declining in their forties, therefore they serve no further useful purpose to humanity. Those ‘old’ people need to die and get out of the way so the rich can get richer.
Donnie ‘Drakon’ Trump needs to be thrown under the bus ASAP. However, it is up to the Republicans to do it, and they are collectively as power-hungry, stupid, cruel and callous as he is. May Donnie Drakon forever live in infamy, and his presidency wither to extinction for the misery he is attempting to inflict on over 25 million old, sick and disabled Americans. All the more reason to:
Repeal and Replace all Republicans
Note: I would have submitted diary this earlier but my computer crashed and I needed to take it in for repair. My disgust with the actions and cruelty of this president requires the sternest of opposition and the strongest of comments, so if I went over the line I apologize. At 78, I can speak my mind, and what ‘Drakon’ Trump is attempting to inflict on the American people infuriates me.
