The cruelty and sadistic satisfaction is the only explanation that makes sense. How have we created so many damaged people?

The hatred is what I don't get - unbelievably destructive, total rot.

...has run rough shod over democracy since another senile president was in office.

I just want you to know how much I appreciate you… I am retired and if could afford to pay for the upgrade I would. Thank you again for your posts

Same here. This one is brilliant.

Meanwhile, the cowardly Supreme Court could outlaw or throw most of this detestable, food poisonous ☠️ whatever-you-call-it in the continuous processing garbage truck if they had the moral fortitude to do it.

Great metaphorical writing—full of vivid images! Love this piece!

This bunch is truly a gang of sadists. The detention resistance center in our area is collecting money to add to the detainees' funds so they can purchase [from the company-owned store, of course] basic items like toiletries and feminine hygiene. That's correct, the detainees can only have toiletries and feminine hygiene if they purchase these items. Purchase using what? These goons are despicable, and they don't seem to be slowing down.

That is disgusting, cruel, & unconscionable! They're paid to supply what's needed. And they get paid well. Wonder who's pocketing the money???

This analogy is extremely accurate and powerful.

Et voilá. They destroy their sources of sustenance, then turn on and eat each other until nothing is left but piles of useless money and Mother Nature reclaiming herself with a sigh of relief.

WOW! That is some hard-hitting metaphor, and maybe even too close to the case to be metaphor. Too many to mention truly, like chalice of liberal tears…perfect. All adding up to imagery I could not help but see as Bachman’s (King’s) ‘Thinner’; gorging on something that gives no comfort or solace, so learning to enjoy the pain of starvation. Brilliant

Yep. This makes it so much more palatable.

Stellar writing! It's the up-side-the-head they'll never feel.

Correct and stark. We created this by leaving people behind, by not dealing with the consequences of scientism and greed. The transhumanists will prevail as this horror unfolds.🤑🤢🤮😭😠

And they will get nothing in return for their reprehensibly gluttonous meals except perhaps some ketchup and paper towels. Catch!

This is a laugh riot. I voted for everything Trump is doing. He is bringing law and order back. If that bothers you, petition congress to change the law.

Brilliantly expressed. A real delicacy.

With a diet like that many will get cancerous tumors and stomach ulcers
