Stupid Thumbs

Significantly and parenthetically, 6 is the devil’s number, so it is apropos that Civic Duty 66 is double that because Trump is surely the devil’s agent on earth.

So much for religion. Let’s move on to thumbs – stupid thumbs, at that.

Every time our overstuffed, puffy-eyed weasel in the White House gives his thumbs-up sign – like he invented it – I want to hang him by those tiny digits over a grease fire.

Oh, I forgot that he is “very intelligent” by his own admission and must know that thumbs up is not about victory, which is how he uses the salute, but about mercy, which he knows nothing at all about, this fucking moral ignoramus.

The thumbs up sign was used by Roman emperors to spare gladiators who had fought with valor  -- and lost.

Trump uses it recklessly and stupidly, which is how he does most everything.

Nero was the Roman emperor accused by history of “fiddling while Rome burns.” Trump is beyond Nero; he struts and preens, giving the thumbs up sign now reflexively at the slightest opportunity. He doesn’t fiddle while America burns. He actually has lit and is fanning the flames of divisiveness: misogyny, racism, class warfare, and every other sign of the beast that lurks in the American soul.

Even Nero gave the thumbs up to bested gladiators. If Trump has you down, he will kick the shit out of you and boast about it on Twitter feeds. 

Lost your husband in one of America’s endless and perverse wars? Tough shit, lady, he knew what he was getting into. And here’s “my general ” John Kelly to back me up on this. Tell ‘em, John, especially that lying bitch in the cowboy hat even if you have to tell some lies right back at her. Give them the old thumbs down. Anybody who crosses me even a little bit gets no mercy never. That’s not the way I was brought up.

Is Puerto Rico true American carnage? Fuck ‘em except maybe the governor but never that lying bitch of San Juan’s mayor. They don’t get mercy; they get paper towels.

Some people got shot in Vegas? Fuck ‘em for listening to country music in the first place. That shooter gave ‘em the old thumbs down, huh?

Fires in California? A lot of wineries destroyed? Fuck ‘em. I don’t drink anyhow.

But Donald Trump is not completely merciless. He gives the old thumbs up to anybody who will kiss his ass. He also gives them cabinet posts that will add to their billions and encourages them to show no mercy in overturning any vestiges of that nigger Obama’s presidency.

Remember Nixon giving the old V for Victory salute even as he was getting on the helicopter after disgracefully saving his ass by resigning?

I can’t wait for Donald Trump to give the thumbs up sign as he is led in handcuffs from the oval office. That is, if they don’t cuff his hands behind his back like the low-rent perp he is.
