Ruminations on
the US Cold Civil War and The Departure of Keith Olbermann

All living
things are connected, and those connections that make us strong, can also make
us vulnerable…

There is no doubt in Keith
Olbermann’s mind that the nightmare called Trump is on his way out. It is only
a matter of time and inevitable as tax paying and dying. Olbermann is so
confident of his opinion that he made his last “The Resistance” broadcast for
GQ on You-Tube which he entitled, “The End.” I would love to be as optimistic
as Olbermann is and have no plans right now to bring “Doo Rag Wisdom” to a
close.

There is still a major fight ahead
and a cold civil war raging every day since Creepident Trump was flushed into
our lives. Yes, we must believe, as Dan Rather writes, that we are better than
this, that there is a core of goodness at the heart of America values, that despite
the evil some Americans are capable of, most us will stand for what is right
and will run the creep Trump out on rails. In the meantime, he is still
occupying our highest office and is being enabled by GOP extremist traitors.
Personally, Olbermann should have kept going because the cold civil war is far
from over.

Trump is inflicting devastating
harm on our country, and he is not afraid to do it because he is staunchly
president of only a third of our country who support him, even if he pissed
down their throats. Please keep some things in mind as we fight our way out of
this nightmare. Apparently, Olbermann hasn’t.

The GOP now controls all three of
our federal government branches. It seems like a miracle that they still have
not succeeded in passing any major legislation, except stealing a supreme court
seat that will negatively affect future generations for 40 years. But this does
not mean that they are not working hard every second of every day to screw us
all up. This party is adept in the use of Orwellian techniques. They have
absolutely no respect for the intelligence of the voters. They lie through
their teeth as simply as breathing. Their only priority is to help their rich
benefactors to the detriment of us all. Think the return of the Gilded Age to
the power of 10.

Again, there is still that
one-third of our country that will support Trump and his agenda no matter what.
These are those whose mentality brings a Hitler into power. This group will
stubbornly hold on to what it thinks are values, but at heart they have none.
Trump and his GOP rely on this third’s fear, ignorance, greed, and hatred. They
will vote in blocks to keep the chaos and tyranny going. They loved “The
Apprentice”, so now they revel in their personal 24 hour a day reality show,
and Trump plays them like a broken piano.

Yes, as Olbermann predicts, Trump
is on his way out!! I believe that, but until he and his GOP scum are truly
voted out, they still wield the power, so whether Trump is in office for 6
months or shy of two months before the end of his term, he and his gang have
more than enough time to f--- everything up. But Olbermann is going to take
time off and will no longer write about politics. Bully for him! We can’t
depend on the Democratic Party taking over, as many optimists, including
Olbermann may believe. The GOP party of Putin wants us to be entertained,
distracted, deluded, dumb, and apathetic. If we are not paying attention, they
will re-elect their turd.

I refuse to delude myself and have
accepted that we are at war, that the GOP wants to hurt us, that religious
extremism is a major threat, and that this creep in the “offal” office is a
crooked, racist, birther traitor. I will never underestimate the enemy. In
fact, as much as I despise the Trumploons, I also fear and respect them because
they fanatically support their idol and will get out and vote no matter what.
They will attack their foes with brutal insults and even with violence. Our
side must do the same or lose our precious country to Putin. But Olbermann
needs a permanent vacation now that we need him the most.

In the meantime, here are some
battlefronts among many and many more to come: 1. The creep and his party want
to mess up our tax code, NOT reform it. Do not let a creep who never showed us
his taxes mess with ours. If we do so, that is insane!! 2. The GOP creeps do
not want us to have federally funded health care. They are trying to repeal the
ACA Individual Mandate in their tax rip off. If they succeed, this will finally
bring the ACA to an end. And if their tax bill rip-off comes to pass, it will
also eventually murder Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid too! 3. The
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a watchdog agency that protects the
consumers from predatory bank and lending practices. It was formed by the Dodd
Frank bill in the wake of the GOP generated Great Recession. Trump and his GOP
want to destroy it. Since the present director has left, Trump wants to put his
scum, Mick Mulvaney, in as temporary/ permanent head of the agency (at this
printing, a Trump appointed Judge has ruled in favor of letting his creep
Mulvaney run down the CFPB). Mulvaney has always said that he despised the CFPB
and always felt it should be killed. Trump, in attempting to place this creep
in charge of a consumer watchdog agency, is proverbially placing the fox in
charge of the hen house. All of this is part of Trump’s great plan to undermine
every agency in our federal government. His cabinet is made up of blood-thirsty
buccaneers, dedicated to decimating the agencies under their “care”. I am happy
that the CFPB has taken the Trump administration to court to stop their drive
to leave consumers unprotected again. But they smashed their cause up against a
TrumPutin judge, and I hope that they do not give up. 4. As you all know, the
GOP and Trump want to privatize everything because, after all, un-restrained
and un-regulated capitalism is a holy ideal. They are working right now to
privatize the internet through eliminating Net Neutrality. If they accomplish
this, massive corporate media conglomerates will be able to decide what we see
and what we can say on the Net.

If only we had Olbermann’s
professional voice to carry on this fight. But he did his tour, and now is the
time for “golf”.

Trump and his GOP are being backed
up against the wall, and they know it. They hope that that their base will stay
strong and fanatic and that the rest of us will stay home and not vote. As any
animal that is being backed up against a wall, it will fight to the death.
Trump and his GOP will wage bloody battle to make sure their agenda is shoved
down our throats no matter what.

They have the backing, and they
have the plan. They also have uncompromisingly monomaniacal resolve!

If it wasn’t for the fact that many
lower court judges were picked by Obama, we would now have a travel ban in
place. Sanctuary Cities would be open and attacked. Presently, Trump is trying
to nominate his own judges. He is trying to mold the justice department in his
own image by personally interviewing prospective candidates for district
attorneys. No president has ever done this before because Trump would rather be
king than president. Their backs against the wall, Trump and his GOP will
unleash a fury on us that we must be prepared to answer.

As insignificant as my broadcast
is, I must stay on the air. I thank Olbermann for his Resistance commentaries
and am saddened that he will no longer do any political work. His last
broadcast made me more optimistic, but it also strengthened my resolve to keep
“Doo Rag Wisdom” going because this cold civil war won’t be over until we live
to see the end of the Trump nightmare and its GOP hypocrisy.

Olbermann should have stuck around
for the final battle because it hasn’t come yet. He mentioned that he wasn’t
paid for the Resistance commentaries that he made for GQ, but at least he got a
book deal out of it. Full discloser: I bought his book.
