Is there an award or maybe a Nobel prize that we can claim?

I wish. I didn't make it up. I forget who did, but it is in some dictionaries. 


So what's on your BINGO card? Does sTrump live until the end of the month? He is on a cocktail that  could be deadly. He is riding a 'roid high that he should crash from about the time of the debate next week. He is on the timeline for the greatest danger from the disease in the next week or so. His Evita balcony moment showed him gasping for breath. 

Can hardly wait. 

I don't wish him death. I wish him a very LOOOONG life in the NY State Pen. 

......and KARMA. I really want to see KARMA steamroll some people.

The earliest known use of the word was in the 1600s by Paul Gosnold, a loyalist to King Charles I during the English Civil War.

I am not wishing for kakistocracy, I am wishing for karma and justice. 

Kakistocracy, IMO, is what we have now. 

Be safe and be well.

REV. WILLIAM BARBER. Necropolitice = politics of death. 

If you have never heard William Barber, he is great! He was on Democracy Now this morning.
