I must sadly admit my own flame of hope was dimmed over the traitor trump years.  But as weird and gross as it got for me in Utah, my flame never completely went out.  I’m not special, I know it was rough for many of our queer community members across the country and then throw covid on top of that shit sandwich and we all felt corned with hope just out of reach. 

I hope, yes hope that your flame did not go out. And if it did, bitch, let’s get it lit again. You can have some of mine, cause mine is now a raging FIRE! I’m a fucking flamer and I’m okay with that. For many people (like little ol’ gay me), covid introduced us to isolation, loneliness, and added to heartache (many of us already carried).  I admit I feel completely comfortable staying home these days. It’s where my dogs are and they, in the end, were my saving grace through it all. Oh and my beds there too. 

Traitor trump has done so many terrible things and right in front of our eyes, right out in the open. I began to think that he would never ever pay for the treasonous actions and corruption that led to the infamous January 6 Insurrection, which lead to the death of US citizens and officers.  But that traitor doesn’t care about those people, he doesn’t care about you or me, and he doesn’t care about America. He cares for only himself.  Classic lying narcissist that thinks they are smarter than everyone.

Let’s face it- I’m a brown gay guy trying to claw his way to stay in the middle class with hopes to be one of the lucky ones that go well beyond that too.  I have no ill illusions about how “justice” works in America for brown people like me, Black people, other minorities, the poor and our LGBTQ peoples. It’s not supposed to be different for us, but it sure the hell is. 

I never thought I’d see the day that traitor trump would be forced to face consequences for his criminal actions.  Better said, I did not think that I would ever see the day that traitor trump’s victims would see justice.  Again, Lady Justice is not always blind. That bitch is known to take off her blindfold for some dolla bills ya’ll.  She just doesn’t take it off for people like us.  She’s got a soft spot for rich white people crimes (also known as white collar crimes), and if we catch her peeking, then it’s the consequences or sentencing that are lite.  I hope that is not the case with traitor trump. He attacked our democracy.  For goodness sake, he almost succeeded.   

As things progress through the court system, I am so happy I was wrong. Wrong about him never having to face consequences for any of his criminal behavior before he was president, much less his actions during his presidency. Let’s also remind ourselves he did not receive the popular vote. America doesn’t like him, it’s a small segment of racists that will stand and fall for him.  Let them fall.

President Barack Hussein Obama filled me with hope, and I wish so many other things; no offense Michelle because he is still as sexy in his 60s as he was when he was President. It’s hope that does it for people, not hate. Hope is what makes your (my) heart flutter, fly, and soar as opposed to sink, blacken, and wilt. Hope is not only the mother tuckin key, it’s the mother tuckin’ answer to all things joy. It starts with hope and I’m chasing joy. Everything else is a distraction from joy.

Even a pretty face can be a distraction from joy. What is it that you are chasing? Is it something that is going to bring you closer to joy? Or further away from it.

I see various forms of hope all around er’ day and they all create some warm fuzzy feelings. It really has been a long time coming for traitor trump to be forced to answer to his actions in front of a judge, a black judge. He has delayed, prolonged, and flat out lied about too much for far too long.  You know it and so do the lying republicans.  How did the majority of them follow someone so corrupt?

Who are the republicans these days?  I don’t even recognize most of them anymore. All I see is hate and oppression or their desire to oppress. They used to stand for law enforcement and accountability, things I can get behind.  Then they went silent and remain so even with all the evidence of corruption against traitor trump.  They saw the same treasonous things from today’s Benedict Arnold (traitor trump) that you and I did.  They are just too chicken shit to stand up for democracy.

Remember all the negative critiques of Present Hope (Obama) his tan suit and his golfing?  Ya, golfing… need my faggy hands type any more? I think not, but they will. I fucking hate golf.  It’s gross and boring, except for the beer on the cart thingy. Traitor trump golfed way more in his 4 years vs Obama’s 8 years in office.

I lost a lot of friends and even some family members I was close to because of their blind obedience to this lying mother fucka.  I wonder if they feel stupid now? I know if I was them I sure the heck would.  But then again, I usually can see the devil with my own eyes. (Usually).

I am eagerly watching to see if Lady Justice keeps her blindfold on this time.

With Hope,

The Happy Homo

PS Be a flamer! Flame on bitches. Hope.

PSS Hope things get better.  Hope for change. Hope for love. Hope for a winning lottery ticket.

PSSS If you think that the recent increase in the series of hoax bomb threats to Synagogues, African American Churches, Jewish Schools, and Mosques is unrelated- you are wrong. They want you to be scared, they want to disrupt our peace. Just be ready.

PSSSS President traitor trump golfed 285 days during his 4-year presidency term vs President Hope (Obama) golfed 333 in an 8 year term. And Obama looked hot in that tan suit. 😊

PSx5  (In the days and weeks after the riot, five police officers who had served at the Capitol on Jan. 6 died.

PSX6  Don’t give up on justice.  Keep hope alive.  Lean on each other if you need to.  Talk to a therapist if you need to, and everyone needs to. Even therapists talk to therapists.  With that said, anyone know of any good gay male therapists in the area?  Besides me?

PSX7  Why did Benedict Arnold betray the US?

Historians have several theories about why Arnold became a traitor: greed; mounting debt; resentment of other officers; a hatred of the Continental Congress; and a desire for the colonies to remain under British rule.   (https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/from-hero-to-traitor-benedict-arnolds-day-of-infamy#:~:text=Historians%20have%20several%20theories%20about,a%20disaster%20for%20both%20men.)

PSX8 Will Republicans finally do the right thing? I hope they join us in our call to lock the traitors up.
