Last night's dream

 Dreamed about cruising last night. A mix of the Geek Cruise and Steampunk Cruise folks, going to Alaska on a HUGE ship. Like, so big that we hardly ever even saw the ocean from wherever we went onboard, and there was no motion at all. We got to Alaska and it was hot and humid. Someone said something about global warming. We were going to stay overnight in whatever port. There was shopping (for some reason I had only packed two pairs of socks and two pairs of underpants for the whole cruise so I was having to buy more) and some kind of 'authentic' meal being served in this big log cabin type building. There were locals around making a show of prepping the meal but our plates were brought to us by our normal onboard waitstaff. We had brought a collection of Flavio's walking sticks so that he'd be with us, at least symbolically.

 

fucking rich people.

 Something that makes me feel pretty sick whenever I think about it:

Donald Trump has spent his lifetime lying, cheating, stealing, and raping. He has spent his lifetime siccing lawyers on anyone who tries to bring him consequences and dragging out the legal process so that his victims run out of time and money before anything could happen.

If he had not been stupid, arrogant, and greedy enough to run for president and if the GOP had not been stupid enough to support him, none of these crimes would have ever seen the light of day.

New Yorkers know him to be corrupt, bigoted, and wicked, but the rest of the world just thought he was a bigmouth clown.

Now most of us know him to be corrupt and evil. He is still running the same play --drag out the process, pile on more lawyers, file appeal after appeal and never pay the consequences.

But just imagine--and here is where I get viscerally disgusted by humanity and society--there are dozens, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands, of very wealthy people who have more than likely done things as bad or worse than Donald Fucking Trump, who have gotten no media attention, no headlines, no notoriety beyond the small circle of people in the know or local people who know not to mess with them.... The wealthy get away with all of it. Trump was just stupid enough to grab the spotlight and brag in public about it and so we have the justice system making a half-assed show of holding him to account, which I suspect will amount to nothing in the long run. No consequences. Maybe another presidential term. If he lives that long...he's not looking or sounding well. I guess that's the justice we all get, whether we need or deserve it or not. we all die sooner or later
