Me: Do you finally understand the reasons that I have never quit attacking Trump? He hopes that tomorrow with the certification of the president and the vice president, which is his last stand, that his vice-president, sympathetic Senators and right-wing representatives will create a scenario eliminating Biden's 306-232 electoral college lead and flip the advantage to Trump, thus rewarding him with a second term. It's all about power and I feel more comfortable with the Democrats in total control. Tonight, with the Republicans holding a  50-48 margin in the Senate, we have the two Georgia elections. If the Democrats win, Vice President Kamala Harris is the tie-breaking vote and for at least the next two years and Biden's agenda triumphs. If the Republicans maintain their majority by winning one if not both of these seats, Biden will have a much more difficult uphill battle. We lost seats in the House, but we have the hammer with a 222-211 advantage and two vacancies.

You: I watched Trump in Georgia and he was in fine form. His critics keep saying he crossed the line when he called the Georgia Secretary of State to recalculate the votes and provide him with 11,780 ballots, one more than Biden, providing him with a one-vote victory. There are no lines for this man. But I can't comprehend his stupidity. Why didn't he ask for 15,000 votes to make his case on the surface seem more plausible if he thought he could escape detection with this illegal stunt? Nobody would believe for a second that Trump had emerged victorious with a one-vote margin. The man is an animal. If the hen house is our democracy, we need to run this fox into the high grass as quickly as possible. Who do you think are going to win the Senate races?

Me: I cannot believe that Georgia is a blue state yet. It has the Confederacy written all over its face. My heart is with the Democrats, but if I had to bet my life, I believe the Republicans will win by two or three percentage points. We go in as an underdog, but I am hopeful we can eke out a victory. If the Republicans lose, I won't say this is the final nail in Trump's coffin, but he will have lost significant credibility. If he wins, he will retain his crown as the One-Eye King in the land of the blind. 

You: I fear that a sweep by Trump will add to his momentum Wednesday when the certification goes before Congress. It is incredible to me that so many Senators and more than a hundred Representatives want to nullify the Biden victories in several states and via a technicality, which no one has explained yet, assure Trump's reelection, which will be nothing more than a democratic coup.

Me: I feel you, bro, and that's the fire behind my relentless fury day after day writing about this worthless son of a bitch. Trump and these Republicans are fanatical. Their political religion is infused with paranoia and they see the devil everywhere. I'm a liberal with a pragmatic perspective. When these Republicans start railing about the radical left and their adherence to Marxism and Socialism and rooting out religion and taking away our guns, I don't know anyone in Brownsville who thinks that way. But on the other hand, these Chicken Little Republicans are crying that the end of the world is at hand. They are hysterical hypocrites who are motivated by Trump's racist rhetoric. I have three sons who are half Mexican-American and two step-children who are Mexican-American. Once the ghost of Santa Anna rises and defeats White-America as he and his troops did at the Alamo and Goliad, we will be a better country. I was raised in White America and a significant minority are trailer trash. They are like pigs rooting around in their sties blissfully mired in their ignorance. Since they can't think for themselves, they are looking for a second Moses to lead them to the Promised Land. Stalin taught his people to read so he could better control them with his propaganda. Trump has fashioned a message that resonates with these failed individuals' anger and by dividing he has conquered.

You: In our calmer moments our leaders, both Democrats and Republicans, counsel us that we must put our differences aside and cooperate in order to build a better America. I listen, but I can't find common ground with people who worship Trump. If he were a Greek god, he would be the god of hate. Only his indifference overshadows his incompetence. He has destroyed our economy. He keeps talking about his triumphs over China. What triumphs? China is laughing at us. They look at time in terms of centuries. We have eclipsed 360,000 deaths as the pandemic is stronger than at any time in the past. Instead of fighting this enemy, Trump refuses to concede It would be a surrender to his perceived enemy--more than half of the American people. 

Me: The pundits argue that Trump has no more options, but they forget that he will have two more weeks in office and he is capable of making a deluded Don Quijote seem like a visionary. I will continue to fulminate for the next two weeks. If you see me at a bar and I'm frothing at the mouth, you will know the reason. I will not rest until he is six-feet-under and a 200-storey building is constructed atop his grave.

L ike a hound pointing to its game, the Spring Breaker followed his boner to his condo with the blond co-ed in tow. She had stepped up to the beer bong thrice and could barely walk. He led her into his room and stripped her of her thong as if he were peeling a banana. He was soon straddling her when he stopped an inch short of entering her shaved pussy. "I must confess something," he said. "What?" she slurred. "I have tested positive for HIV." "Have you tested positive for Coronavirus?" she asked. "No." "Then let's fuck, cowboy!!!"

I was standing at the bar at Cobbleheads when I saw owner Joe Kenney walking past. I grabbed him by the bicep. "Pretty flabby for a guy from Phillly," I said. "Fuck you, Sully," snapped Joe before continuing with that goofy accent. "What do you want?" "I didn't get a chance to wish you Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'd pinch you on the butt since you're not wearing green, but you have a lousy lookin' ass. Let's toast the San Patricio Battalion." "A bunch of filthy traitors," spat Joe. "General Scott should have hung all the bastards instead of branding the majority of them." "You were in the Herald saying that Mexico and the United States had special ties as a result of these Irishmen switching sides in a war that Abraham Lincoln criticized as imperialism run amok." "It's all about business," confessed Joe. "I can't express my true sentiments about those Benedict Arnolds. I h...

My patio faces east. In the early afternoon the sun has embarked on its ancient descent toward the west and I relax on my lawn chair in the shade. I breathe deeply. My lungs are clear. Coronavirus has me contemplating life from a variety of angles. I am led to believe that those who suffer death from the disease suffocate. That doesn't sound like a pleasant exit to me. As a result of this grim reality, I have quit smoking dope. I don't want to weaken my lungs any more than 55 years of puffing on joints has wreaked on them. I have been retired for three years from the BISD after the superintendent threatened to fire me if I kept writing. I chose to keep writing. It is my spiritual calling. I had contributed 39 years to the school district and I was working for free. Retirement was a logical option. I don't miss the job, but I do miss my students, athletes and colleagues. I liken my present existence to floating down a lazy Hill Country river in an inner tube. Little did I kn...
