I NEED A BERSERKER!

 

    Now that the corrupt GOP has taken over our government and the GOP in Congress has failed to grow a pair, I am thinking we need something stronger, fiercer, and more aggressive to right our sorry ship of state. As a woman who has always protested non-violently, married to a CO with two CO brothers, you'd think I would not be looking for a berserker. You would be wrong. Way wrong.

   I just saw a clip from Becca Balint, my new favorite Rep. from Vermont, coming out of the House of Representatives in the dark last night. 'Cause the damn GOP pushed their "big, beautiful bill" through at ten o'clock last night, despite resistance. She admitted she was "down," but said she would be back to fight again another day. While I am terrified this bill will pass the Senate, Becca reassured me that there were still a number of steps to go through and committees to pass before it could become law.

 

    How did we get here? How did crazed, ketamine-fuled Elon Musk get to have so much power in our government, slashing federal employees, cutting out departments and their heads, and so much more? 

I have read that his ultimate goal has always been his AI empire, and that makes sense. And for those of you who think this was a legal election, check out Greg Palast, his documentary, "Vigilantes, Inc." and his interview on Google. He sets out very clearly how the GOP stole this election through discarding authentic votes through the vigilante strategy. And in case you think he is a conspiracy theorist, as my younger brother said, he is: a forensic economist, an investigative journalist who worked for the BBC, the Guardian, the NAACP, & the ACLU, and a man who counted over a 100,000 discarded vigilante votes in Georgia to see how it all happened. 

Also, did you really believe that Orange Mango won 7 of the swing states? Not possible. The Dems should have called for a recount for sure, but then, here we are. In a dark, scary pit.

    So where do the berserkers come in? I have a modest suggestion. Let's rent several buses to take us to D.C., with bathrooms of course. Let's get out some blue dye, look at Boudicca's tattoos, and copy them on our skin. 

Let's get some slingshots, make ammo with squirrel dung (we have lots of that in case you need it), and get ready for battle. When the corrupt GOP House Members appear, let fly! Start screaming and rush them. Do the same with the awful GOP Senate members. Of course, we would be arrested, but wouldn't it be worth it in the end? Look at the many times our Blessed Dorothy Day and Daniel Berrigan were imprisoned. (And let us remember his famous quote: "If you want to follow Jesus, you have to look good on wood.")

Bring a Rosary with you to pass the time while incarcerated and look into ways to help people in despair in prison. Notice I did not say anything about boiling oil in cauldrons; nothing about actual weapons; nothing about killing the police who keep Capitol Hill safe.

    Will I get into trouble for posting this? I suppose anything is possible now our country has gone to hell in a hand basket. I just want Congress to claw back the Emolument funds which they voted; I want our National Parks to be protected; I want the poor, marginalized, immigrants, Hispanics, Natives, and People of Color to be protected and not deported or have their Medicaid ripped away.

    And if becoming a berserker with blue tattoos is not your thing (I am disabled so cannot do this), at least join a peaceful protest of which there are many happening all around our sorry country in many, many cities and states. Maybe this will have an effect at last? Who knows. I know I am not meant to pray for someone's demise, but, along with Joan Baez and her black t-shirt with white writing on it, I want to say, "Is he dead yet?"
