This one is a bit of a stream-of-consciousness thing kinda like Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying.” And, it involves the IRS, tax avoidance, and autism, so there’s that.

We all know Trump is a textbook narcissist, so why does anyone wonder when he pursues asinine goals in asinine ways? He’s a narcissist surrounded by sycophants who are eager to pick up whatever crumbs they can from him and goose-step the guilty outback of the kangaroo courts, line them up, and shoot them.

Trump has the feculent touch. He couldn’t make the 6 January Insurrection succeed. He’s not going to do the bidding of the conservative movement if he’s returned to office. It’s gonna be all the grift all the time and no one is stealing his limelight.

The entire country is stuck in a miasmatic malaise of endless government shutdowns, obviously corrupt judicial decisions, legislativeless Congresses, shrinking Civil Rights, and continual climate disasters all against the thunderous backdrop of gun violence, murder, and mayhem, which had eroded our collective mental health.
