Trilliumaires, not billionaires

This is a postcard my beach urchins gave me today. I am going to frame it.

If any of y’all don’t know what a trillium is, it is a spring ephemeral (that’s a wildflower) that grows in the Great Lake State and probably a bunch of other places too. It grows in the woods behind The Landfill. It is a protected species. The normally law-abiding Commander was so enamored of trillium that I once abetted her in a trillium heist. I drove the getaway car. She dug up a plant on a deserted forest road in the eastern yooperland, watching warily the whole time for cars coming along to bust her. She took the plant home and but it failed to thrive wherever she transplanted it.

Anyway. I’m sure there are billionaires out there who are worthy of running the United States government. Trump is not one of them. That is, if he is actually a billionaire. That seems to be a question. Actual billionaire or not? I am skeptical that his wealth was attained honestly. Yeah, I know a lot of it is generational wealth but not sure his father was on the up and up either.

At any rate, his little games are really really bad for our country. How are your grocery prices these days? How is your 401K doing? I’m not looking at mine. Fortunately it isn’t my only source of retirement income when that time comes but other investments are in the same damn boat. Why oh why oh why did you vote for him? Can you not tell who he is by the mean, ugly, idiotic things he says and does?

Take his “Easter message” on Truth Lies Social today. A torrent of hatred toward everyone he could think of. Are you Christian? Do you love Jesus Christ? Is any of this a part of Jesus’s teachings? I am not religious but I learned a lot about Jesus as a kid in Sunday School and nothing in Trump’s vile spew today had anything to do with Jesus’s teachings, which are to love all living beings, no matter who they are and what their status is. I’m having trouble applying those teachings to Trump. Those of you who think of him as your savior, what the f*ck are you thinking? We won’t even talk about Elon, who has no business anywhere near US government agencies and (arguably) no expertise in data analysis.

Sorry for the pessimistic rant but my anger at this man and his sycophants is almost indescribable. Love y’all and g’night. May your life be filled with trillium.

    And how fitting that Pope Francis died soon after lecturing VD Vance about how to be a good Christian. On a different topic (but related ultimately to Trump/Vance) I’m reading a fascinating new book called Ghosts of Iron Mountain by Tim Tinline. No summary — too complicated — but wow is my mind blown. That is all!

    I agree on all of this. We have a completely incompetent and viciously cruel government right now. What a dangerous mess!
