A monkey found a ladder.
A Gujarati saying
Glass ceiling
In the wee hours of Wednesday, November 9, 2016, a glass ceiling was broken. It was expected that a women’s champion, a corrupt one though, will emerge out of it; it did not happen. What took place instead was the appearance of an orange racist/misogynist/fascist.
Ladder
On November 9, 2016, this orange racist/misogynist/fascist won the biggest prize: a ladder. Every four years, this prize is coveted by a tiny group, of mostly white men who possesses great stamina, have campaign contributors, knows how to bullshit, and can lie with straight face. He’ll get the delivery of that ladder on January 20, 2017, and will be able to keep it for four to eight years.
The ladder will be his – he can play with it or he can destroy it. However, in the interest of the country and his party, it would be good if his advisors and party machine cuts off most of the rungs so that his jumping around is restricted to a couple of steps – this would not only minimize the damage his jumping would cause but would also save this fascist from wasting too much of his precious energy.
Bizarre incident
A bizarre thing happened on the morning of November 10. An orange racist/misogynist/fascist dropped by at a Kenyan Muslim’s house to say hi. What was more bizarre was that the Kenyan Muslim half-hardheartedly welcomed this fascist in his house. The fascist liked the house. He asked the Kenyan that he would like to move in this house. Kenyan said you can have the entire place on January 20.
Crusader
According to reliable eastern diplomatic sources, woman’s champion, who has lot of blood of Afghans, Iraqis, Libyans, and many others, on her hands, has decided to settle in Middle East. Over there, according to the same sources, she’ll open up an NGO to help out orphans and women (who lost their children in US/IS created wars and chaos) as part of an atonement ritual. The woman’s champion has a plan to join women in Saudi Arabia to protest against a ban on driving. She’ll also be fighting for Saudi women’s right to live their lives as they wish without requiring permission from their guardians/fathers/husbands/brothers/sons.
Revolutionary
I have come to know from a political insider that the revolutionary who stabbed his comrades in back and joined the machine which was hell bent on eliminating him was last seen in the Library of Congress. He was there searching for books on and by Frantz Fanon, Emiliano Zapata, Che Guevara, Malcolm X and other revolutionaries and leaders to learn how to conduct revolution to the end and how to stay faithful to the comrades.
Kenyan Muslim
The Kenyan Muslim has gone into deep depression. The reason being the fascist. The Kenyan just can’t believe that the fascist reached the top by bullshitting and will now be doing or undoing great many things. The thought gnaws him that he had eight years to do something for his people and he didn’t do much. Not even once he told the white ruling class that it were whites who brought my people as slaves here, and even after the end of slavery you people never treated blacks equally.
There are chances that he’ll do some little things to help his and other people, most probably, like that peanut man.
