Mocking someone for trying something new might be the greatest sign of low intelligence.

The Front Lines

This is an email I sent to friends, with the subject line addressing one of them–about America, today….

Subject: Hey Stu, how are things on the front lines?

Hi, everyone:

How are you?

Those of you whom I grew up with know why I am asking Stu this question. He is a citizen sentinel, like you Adams, and a keeper & practitioner of the right to free speech against injustice–and now tyranny.

Just watching the horrible decline of the country we grew up in and wondering how you are doing.

The killing of Renee Nicole Good is just another sad–but more in the face and on the nose (no pun intended) wake up call to see more clearly what so many warned against in the monsters clutching at the shreds of our free country–one more hard stone to swallow as the ignorance and arrogance of the unintelligent, selfish and sociopathic shove the MAGA gravel of authoritarianism down our throats–reminding us like a farmer preparing foie gras who the ‘animals’ are–in their subhuman field of vision.

I heard on Pod Save America that the ICE agent who gunned Renee Good down had been dragged by a car some months before and needed stitches; well, then what in hell was he doing on duty? This is as much a training and mission rules (as they say in the space program) issue as it is an issue of xenophobia, nationalism and ethnophobia in action. However, I am sure that as the Regime combed through federal leadership to strip it of sense and compassion, they also put their most prejudiced agents from the rank and file in operations like this. This shooter, who called Good a Fu*&in bit*^h after he shot her, also sent his phone videos to a right wing website….

It was hard writing that first sentence and feeling fully justified, as we were born during the Vietnam war, in a time when our octopus of a government had its tentacles of covert operations slithering their slippery suction cups into the dark corners of Latin America–and we were later tax payers for the war machine in the Middle East–but we were much better off than today.

Hope you are well; stay safe Stu, and all of you.

Best,
Carl

Incuriosity is that mark of the #unintelligent who will remain that way
People who are curious can fix their intelligence, there is a driver, but i have never met people more incurious that conservatives and #MAGA. Bullying is their only form of social enjoyment because they have nothing interesting to talk about
