America is learning a lot about itself these last few years.
It is not a pretty picture.
But at least we know better where we stand.
And who stands for what.

When I saw Trump hold up the executive order after signing it ..
.. the one ending refugee children being separated from their parents .. after fleeing violence and threats of violence in their home countries (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador) ..
.. when I saw him hold up that executive order .. the voice in my head said, "His foot has slipped. The day of his calamity is near."

Here is a section of the DHS memo signing off on the policy to separate children from their parents.
I wonder what members of the Senate think of this.
I so badly want to tell Kirstjen to go fuck herself .. but I should probably just bite my tongue.

Oh, look at Mika go here .. getting all ninja-like on Kirstjen Nielsen. I dont think that I have ever seen another thing quite like that.
She is calling out every single piece of bullshit that is being said .. right at the point where it is being said it. That has a cool effect when she does that.
It is a different topic, but Ana does a similar thing here. That was outstanding.
And here is Mr. Ninja himself talking about the devolving of language.
Shame on you, Kirstjen Nielsen. Shame the fuck on you and your shitty values and priorities. You are spineless.
Woe unto you. "Here, hold this millstone for me."
And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble. Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come.

Where is this bed? You know the one I'm talking about .. the one with my name on it.
This song is so stuck in my head and talking to me .. saying things that some might consider nasty.
The idea of a powerful, sexy woman having a bed with my name on it .. this speaks to me. I can't stop it from speaking to me.
Now this doesnt necessarily mean that I will cave to the invitation .. but merely dealing with the idea .. this activates in me things that are both exhilarating and challenging.
Who can resist such a thing? Show me the man.
Before you know it .. my imagination has picked up on this thing is is already running with it. Though I dare not say where these places lie.
There are all kinds of socio-erotic things happening here. It's more than just a flirty, seductive song.

What do you think, Tay .. about what Hemingway said about Dostoevsky?
.. that » "Dostoevsky was MADE by being sent to Siberia. Writers are forged in injustice, as a sword is forged." [ Green Hills of Africa, p 71, 1935 ] ]
You obviously have the songwriting thing going on. Even people who hate your guts have to admit as much. Naz knows what I am talking about.
This makes Kanye's snatch of your mic even more iconic .. in a symbolic sort of way. Tho I would probably sound like a nut-case if I went into any detail.
I see that you draw on this sense of injustice when writing some of your songs. This is why I feel that you will be able to relate to this quote by Hemingway.

I saw you at Wango Tango yesterday. That is right up the road here in Los Angeles. No wonder you were feeling so close.
That was an impressive show. Even with the weird video overlays during Side to Side .. I was still impressed. And I am not the only one.
I chose this particular image of you here with this dancer because it reminds me of how secret lovers can feel each other's gravity ..
.. as they play with, and explore their attraction for one another. Regardless of what Einstein might say on the subject.
This thing that you are doing here with this dancer .. this reminds me of pair annihilation. And I am not even going to mention how good you look either. Why labor the obvious? ]
Afterwards I thought of a lot of things. But one of these things was » "Wow .. this really does feel like the next level."
It wasnt long before I thought, "This is going to be hard to keep secret."
