The Last Tarot Reading

At the beginning of this administration, I used to do a daily Tarot reading. I really loved doing them and had done them throughout other administrations.

This one was different. Every day the readings were worse until finally, one day when I finished and published, I did a three month reading. The results were worse. Okay, I tried three more months and got a worse reading. I jumped to six months and it was worse. The thing is, even after the 2020 elections, the readings didn't get better. I asked why and the answer was that things would never be undone. I didn't understand. I do now. I stopped doing the readings that day.

Those children in camps will never be reunited with their real parents.

The public lands sold off for strip mining and fraking will never be returned to we the people.

The face of our legal system will be forever one of injustice as these for-life judge appointments continue to play out.

We will never be able to clean up the land and water from four years of heavy pollution. Poison just doesn't go away and the results of this, the malformed children, the sick adults, the brain damaged and the dead elders can't be reversed.

We cannot just turn the clock back because the departments have not just been gutted, they have been destroyed. The very programs that the system ran on, and I mean computer, have been erased and would have to be rewritten from memory.

Our entire government has been destroyed.

But far more, our trust in anything and anyone, including those near and dear to us, has been destroyed.

We would like to lay the blame at the feet of tRump and Moscow Mitch, but they were just the instruments. The people holding the strings to these puppets are FOX News and the Rightwing Shock Jocks. Without their drug induced daily insane rants and conspiracy fantasies, because they didn't qualify as theories....theories require a few facts, these two men wouldn't have managed to consolidate the amount of power they did. The Orange Turnip would never have won without FOX laying the groundwork and lying to gullible people who thought what they saw on TV was truth. Mitch the Moscow Bitch would never have been able to pass a rule he had to approve anything before it could be voted on in the Senate. Old Boner resigned because he had to have been approached to do this and the old drunk actually had enough ethics to refuse but not to hand the position over to someone who would. So, yes, this falls in his lap and he doesn't get to play Kissinger and tell us where we went wrong. He went wrong.

We don't need a State Run Network. We need to prevent foreign interests from ever again buying into American networks. We need to ban foreign interests from having any part in American news organizations. If Reagan hadn't fast-tracked Murdoch's citizenship application, he could never have created FOX. So, yes, let's blame the real culprit in this saga, St. Ronnie because the framework for everything that has happened, economically, socially and religiously starts in his administration with a group of 5 economists and one sleaze who managed to get Nixon elected by costing the lives of thousands of young men in a jungle in SE Asia. If Nixon hadn't been caught, this would have happened then.

So no, there is no happy ending. You can't fix the trauma of the Trumpcamp children. You can't bring back the dead from canceled insurance. You can't fix the Veterans returning to a thank you and a homeless camp. You can't make up for 4 years of a gutted educational system. You can't bring the veterans back you deported. You can't bring the Kurdish women and children back to life that we abandoned. You can't fix this. But you can make sure the people who aided and betted this in their little red hats never get to forget what they did because we will NEVER FORGET.
