Jokes: Decency Is Not Passivity; Our Voice Is Our Power.

Every nail that we drive into the coffin of Donald Trump's wretched presidency counts. And that includes jokes. We are in a fight for our lives, our dignity, our democracy -- and that of our children and their children. Nothing is off the table.

Our voices show history that we are not passive instruments of injustice, that we resisted. And we persisted. And we stood up for what is right.

To those who want us roll over and play dead? Take this atrocious, Mafia-like presidency with its attendant daily wretched parody played by a cast of crooks, murderers and liars and be silent? Never gonna happen.

Silence is complicity. We will speak. We will joke. We will laugh.

The Danger of Kanye West...

A flesh-eating zombie comes to your house. "It" used to be your friend, brother, sister, mother, father...USED TO BE, Do you do the brave thing -- blow its brains out, put it out of its misery, or do you invite it to dine, and become its dinner?

Same thing with a vampire. A former buddy ol' pal, lover, husband. FORMER. DO YOU DO THE RIGHT THING. THE HARD THING. DRIVE A STAKE IN ITS HEART. END THE SORROW. Or do you invite it in, Support it. Show loyalty. And let it feast on you blood. And those you love.  Let it drain you --and others. Become its food.

Nothing happens without your consent. Kanye West has shown you who he is. If you buy his products, you're giving tacit consent to being his food.

And food -- has no rights.

Think about it.

And be careful whom you marry -- or make your hero. When others no longer act in cohesion with higher principles, FORGET THEM; when your guard dog becomes your enemy's pet it's time to put him down.

Kanye West's bruised giant ego: President Obama as First Black President of the United States of America in order to demonstrate a sense of fair play and unity, chastised Kanye West's grabbing the microphone from Taylor Swift; so now Kanye West supports Donald Trump, a false president, a brutish lout  who gives free rein to racist White Power,  neo-Nazis -- and hates the better man, a man whose shoes he is not fit to lick, President Obama.  GET IT?  President Obama chastised Kanye West's actions against Taylor Swift so Kanye embraces his enemy. And damn of of you,  your children, your dreams for a better future. Because Kanye's little feelings were hurt. Sound familiar to Trump's approach much? Birds of a feather do flock together. And how.

Good luck, John Legend & Chrissy Teigen, Chance the Rapper, T.I. One thing: Just like Donald Trump? Kanye West's "friends" have a short shelf life. Just dent his ego and like Jay-Z (who famously lent Kanye 20 million dollars) you're toast. History.

If one penny of yours went to buy that MAGA hat of his, or in any way makes it to Donald Trump (because you bought Kanye West's brand of Kool-aid) more fool you. What "creative genius." Kanye slings it around like he's the only purveyor and keeper of it. PLEASE.

Everyone is creative, Kanye. People used to buy your stuff -- so you shit on them? MAGA THIS, Jackass. President Obama was right.
