handful of fools

i walked down towards the Pearl last night. for those not living in Portland, that is a really nice and well moneyed neighborhood in the NW quadrant of town. 

Last night was night 3 of protests against Donald Trump. A handful of people decided it was a good idea to take baseball bats to businesses and spray paint on others. 

Donald Trump is our president elect. Unless we seriously find a way to not make that be, that is our reality. Busting up buildings is not a way to solve such things.

To the handful of fools, mark my words, if you are not careful, these outbreaks justify martial law. The feds have a lot of power right now. It's a time to be patient and observant, not foolish. 

In other news it's really creepy how Donald Trump has head next to no press near him at the moment. Keep your eyes and hearts open, friends.

good morning

hello fellow earthlings...

it is november 10th 2016. donald j trump is the president elect of the united states of america.

as much as i am worried about what all those republicans with power can do at a time like this, i think we all knew intuitively we would have to fight for what we believe even if Hillary was elected. 

As interesting as 4 years of bill clinton memes would have been, we don't need such distractions: now we must be more diligent about getting involved and standing up for others; be that student debt, combatting climate change, health care for all, fracking, the north dakota pipeline, all the pipelines, etc etc.

i'm asking you fellow earthlings to not live in fear.

filled with good intent, fueled by fear, we'll all become monsters.

instead, study and learn, organize and stand up, love one another, and remember when we unite under a common causes there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

liberty and justice for ALL

today

restless. undecided. 

i've only a few days left to decide, but at this current moment i do not see myself voting in the 2016 presidential election.

i will vote in local elections. 

i do not make it a habit to live in fear.

to vote for clinton or trump is just that. 

to vote third party in this election feels a waste.

i've voted third party every other election. 

tis that or write in Bernie's name. 

you know if enough people came together to do that it may have made a difference, but we didn't mobilize well enough.

instead we jumped behind 3rd party candidates or jumped behind clinton because we were told if we did not than we were allowing trump to be elected.

i don't know how all this will resolve, but i can't in good consciousness vote for any of the candidates running for president of the united states.

Bernie Trump Debate

At a time where i genuinely don't know what to expect next in US politics it seems as though Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are going to have a chance to debate before the final democratic primaries on june 7th.

there is no official date last i checked, but the internet is buzzing too much for it to not happen. 

i think the 21st century could two rowdy new yorkers arguing it out.

i'm curious to see what will become of the situation.

also would it be on fox news... what kind of questions will they ask?

also curious to know how bernie's numbers fair in these final few primaries. 

lately it seems nothing is certain and everything is entertainment. 

stay informed. be free fellow earthlings.

Donald Trump is not Racist

hello fellow earthlings. 

my name is a.b. corduroy.

​I want to talk to you not as a american, but as an earthling. 

it is election year in the "united states of america". 

 the american empire is crumbling

what happens next is up to us

i urge you to not live in fear.

I do not believe Trump or his supporters... (as a whole) are racist. 

Individually you can make your cases. 

As a whole Trump and his supporters are nationalist. 

I'm not saying that makes them right. 

Nationality has become the racism of the 21st Century. There is a clear distinction in the two. 

While I believe the passion felt by some of the Trump folks is genuine, These folks believe there are rules to follow that make America what it should be. They care about their country and their families and they have been severely distracted.  

While you may have been told for years immigration/illegals are causing you problems it is not.

Land is not owned by man.

Nor is water.

we may harvest it in bits, Mother Nature is greater than any cloth flag or paper document.

If Uncle Sam wanted to clean up the land, he very easily could have.  

You don't think they do all that spying and don't know how to root out illegals, do you? do you?

It's a distraction for whatever other agenda the Republican establishment has had. 

Tax breaks for the richest of rich, war, etc..

I very much appreciate my geographic location on earth but realize empires rise and fall.

There are thousands upon thousands of people without homes because the US and others have destroyed Syria and neighboring lands. 

even in the United States millions living poorer than I can ever fathom and I'm not well off. I struggle to pay my responsibles frequently.  

On top of that climate change is and will continue to send people migrating to new lands as their former homes are destroyed or left without resources.

I have drove many many miles across the United States. There is land to spare. 

if we don't share and care for what we have, be that the United States, Europe, Antarctica, wherever they will crumble just as the American empire, British Empire, the Roman Empire, etc.

To my fellow earthlings who believe Trump will get us back on track, I urge you to think bigger. 

i know you work hard and you are frustrated but we can do it without fear. 

United we stand, divided we fall.

i'm loosing my attention span.

And So On

What's been going on lately? 

in my life, not a whole lot. 

i Have an excess of drawings at the moment so I've focused the most of my energies on breaking this almost 2 year writer's block. 

when the skies dried up I started drawing. Now I'm forcing myself to write.

It's a lot of fragmented nonsense, but a good bit makes some sense. 

they say rain is headed our way this weekend. I hope it is true. 70 something degrees outside too.

Fall is coming fast. I can smell her in the wind.

I hope she sticks around a while. I need my grey daze.

i saw Portugal. the Man on Monday. Only $5 at white owl. Always grateful to see those dudes jam out.

There is a full moon / super moon this Saturday. Embrace the magic and hopefully you'll catch a glimpse. As for me I hope it just rains and rains and rains. 

there's too many fires in the Pacific Northwest. It hurts my soul and fucks with my conscious. 

Donald Trump is a fool and if you listen to the stats of these polls, so are you. 

Big media is getting stronger.

The earth is growing warmer.

It's time to come together.

Put away our black mirrors, if only for a moment.
