Sing to the tune of “Suicide is Painless”

https://youtu.be/p0xy-LoDi94?si=urzN0kWuC0JEAp2M

The Big Beautiful Bill is Donald Trump’s latest Kool-Aid cocktail, served ice-cold to the glassy-eyed or terror-stricken cultists in Congress. Picture it: a garish blend of political polonium and economic arsenic, hand-mixed by a man whose only guiding ideology is self-worship.

Like Jim Jones passing out grape-flavored cyanide in the jungle, Trump is demanding loyalty unto political death…and once again, the red-hatted true believers (and those who play them in Congress) are lining up for their final gulp.

Except instead of dying in a jungle compound, they’re about to die politically in swing districts and suburbs, while trying to explain why they gutted Medicaid to protect tax breaks for billionaires. Before the poison closes their eyes, the pain will show up in polls, town hall meetings, and the tragic deaths of the very people they were elected to represent

Sing to the tune of “Suicide is Painless”

Such an apropos title for what we have going on! So many people unaware or not caring that we're abandoning the very things that have made us into a great country: science, education, being a reliable and generous ally, standing up to fascist dictators, at least trying to be a leading force of "good" in the world.

Did we do all those things perfectly? Nope. Held against a standard of perfection, everyone comes up short (even Mother Teresa, by her own admission). But that doesn't mean that some aren't better than others, or that we should give up even trying and start selling cologne instead.
