WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
Gerard Van der Leun
Lay down these words
Before your mind like rocks.
placed solid, by hands
In choice of place, set
Before the body of the mind
in space and time:
Solidity of bark, leaf, or wall
riprap of things:
Cobble of milky way.
straying planets,
These poems, people,
lost ponies with
Dragging saddles –
and rocky sure-foot trails.
The worlds like an endless
four-dimensional
Game of Go.
ants and pebbles
In the thin loam, each rock a word
a creek-washed stone
Granite: ingrained
with torment of fire and weight
Crystal and sediment linked hot
all change, in thoughts,
As well as things.
Gary Snyder
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
— BY THEODORE ROETHKE
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman

So that’s what the lamentations of the women sounds like.
Haha!
John, I didn’t expect it would so shriiiiiiillll!
Seriously though, does this energize the Dem base? Or does it drive more moderates to Trump for fear of who Kamalalala will appoint?
Next possible exit, Breyer. Everyone else is fairly young. So this could be it on supremes for Trump.
I think it’s funnier with the sound off. Plus – my God, that screech! Egad!
Wow, purging the country of TikTok isn’t coming a moment too soon. I’m not sure how this person will respond when confronted by this tweet at her next job interview. Perhaps with shrieking turned up to 12?
& sadly, she screeches for so so many.
Hey Mike… will not matter. We are applying old values and mores to a new world.
There is a high likely-hood her type will be elevated and venerated in the coming world.
But still fun to watch..
That is deeply satisfying. Shriek. Shriek, you Loons.
Ding dong, the witch is dead, which old witch? RBG, that’s who.
They venerated her like a saint. Candles and coins and buttons with her image, and bobbleheads. She was a liberal icon. Although there is little time to replace her before November, some RINO cunts in congress insist Trump wait to nominate or they wait to vote on a replacement. Now, that shit is shrill! Murkowski, you ignorant slut.
In case my language offends, keep in mind that this is my war persona, and I do not mince words in wartime.
Bah. Just an overgrown toddler, whose vote counts the same as yours or mine. And there are tens of millions just like her.
Keep in mind that she is of The Woke. They are fit to rule over us because of their obvious moral superiority. Not only that, but Science!
JWM
She sees the days where you can kill your kids coming to an end.
The legacy of “the personal is political”: MILLIONS of miserable, mentally-ill people like this inflict their private torments on the public square.
Fifty bucks says this person couldn’t name two major rulings Ginsburg made, or why they were significant.
Skorpion… I hate to break it to you, but I don’t think RBG HAD any major rulings. She was a slave to her bias, and so never did anything except vote reliably liberal.
So waiting for “Can 2020 get any worse?”
Airbag deployment.
Alas, it was not to be.
The deeper problem for society is that RBG was not Intelligent enough to realize she should have groomed her replacement over the preceding 10 to 5 years. Small g god complex? But then, Hillary was supposed to win.
I’ve got an 86 year old contractor who could run circles around JB, and probably live out a 4 year term while doing excellent work for the Good of the country. Need to find him someone to take over his business. My dad is the same age. Sadly, JB would look like a genius next to him. But at least he was smart enough to transition out of responsibility starting 20 years ago.
I’m pretty sure there are general rules for filling positions. Those in power should man up and get’her Done. Before the contested votes come up as the first big case before the court.
I was hoping that she’d off-load a mighty nether eructation to add bass tones to the shrieks.
Especially vibrant on vinyl seat covers.
If she could blow a C and G, it’d be pleasant harmony.
Maybe add armpit whumps for syncopation.
If truth be told, however, I don’t care WHAT she does.
She can burst her esophagus for all I care.
Too early to wish a happy new year?
Out of curiosity, I am wondering what is the percentage of the USA population, composed of individuals like that woman? That outburst of insanity should get her drivers license yanked permanently. Yikes.
I have read a story out there that, if you go back and look at the videos of her answering her questions during her senate examination, you will see her hold her hand to her ear on multiple occasions. It was not because she had a hearing problem–the claim is that she was receiving good responses to the questions from a team sitting on the other end of that ear piece. Seeing how corrupt the democratic party has become in the years since and knowing that that technology was available at that time–there may be something to this story. Like Chris said, she never really did anything of a particularly thoughtful interpretation of the law.
That vid was hilarious, it is so enjoyable to watch conceivably grown adults melt down like toddlers, no matter the cause. Can you imagine what it would be like to live with that harpy? It might be that that thing needs a double dose of prozac or, as this black lady I know would say, that crazy b’ich need some dik.
I hope she posts again when DJT raises his hand for his 2nd term Oath.

The Harridan Harpies make a Don’t Duet.
Does Tiktok have a mirror function embedded along with the neon outline and cat ears filters?
If that isn’t it, she’s faking driving, because non-classic q[right-hand drive cars are not imported.
Faking it. Faking everything. Fake from the hair color and the non-corrective glasses all the way to the bottom of her shriveled soul.
That’s my new unignorable ringtone!
Buddahaha:
Glad to see someone else make the same observation. Is it possible that Tiktok can reverse the picture in some way? What are cat filter ears?
Mirror image. Chic is real and crazy as a hatter. Imagine the poor soy boy married to her. They likely deserve each other.
If Notorious RBG really give a shit about her vision of America, she would have resigned whilst Obama was still in a position to replace her, instead of greedily hanging onto power like all them sumbitches she called friends, right up to the bitter end. Thus are legacies squandered.
Just idly war gaming here:
Trump wins re-election, R’s hold the senate, win the house.
Trump follows up on the D’s threat to pack the court by suggesting he pack the court.
I call this ‘Trump going Nigel Tufnel’ and turning the harridans up to ELEVEN.
Must be a comparative literature professor from the University of Chicago. I hear they have a special requirement to recruit from Credmore, St. Elizabeth’s or Happy Dales, but have recently decided to limited new students to darker hues and even less brain capacity.
Her anguish, it nourishes me.
Second look at the 19th Amendment?
Why are lesbian Karens so damn ugly?
re: Men’s fall fashion.
Poor kid got turned into Olive Oyl. So where’s Popeye the Sailor gyrl?
JWM
I’m sorry, but that is so disappointing. I was looking forward to a fixed object encounter at the end.
Am I mistaken? I think this chick is trolling; her posts are cynical and sarcastic if I’m reading them right.
She rhetorically asks “Could this year get any f***ing worse?!?”
I think she’s going to discover that yes, for her, it is indeed going to get worse.
The evening of November 3rd, to be exact.
This is a prelude to the tremendous loads of laughter that will be provided for us on election night …
