Don't Vote for This Goat

The Tea Party goats will be the ruination of Payson. Steve Otto is the mayor of Payson, and if he is not outsted the town will be set back by years. The goats have already destroyed all hope for a new pool. Instead they want to put duct tape on the old pool and declare it a success. Otto is the leader of the three stooges. Otto, Bell, and Ferris. Those three councilmen only answer to the backward Tea Party. Just like Trump ruination is their goal. If normal citizens vote we can rid the town of these vermin. 
 

The Bumwalkers

Who Has Trump Stomped the Hardest?

When Trump stomps around chasing another dollar, it isn’t the billionaires who feel the boot. The people who get flattened are always the ones at the bottom.

Every town has them. Payson does too. I call them the bumwalkers.

You see them drifting through town—some on bicycles, some pushing a cart, some just wandering on foot. The bumwalkers keep moving because they are busted flat and always think the next corner might be better than the last one. Maybe down the road there will be luck, a job, a break, something. But somehow the road never seems to get them there.

Bad decisions have been their lifelong business model.

Just one rung up from the bumwalkers are the trailer-park Tea Party patriots. Another group that never quite managed to put things together, but they have discovered something powerful: anger.

Trump sells that anger very well. He sells them Bibles with his name on them. He sells them hats. He sells them flags. Mostly he sells them hate wrapped in distorted hope.

And they buy it.

Meanwhile, when oil prices jump and groceries go up, who gets crushed the hardest?

Not the billionaires.

Not Trump.

It’s the people at the very bottom—the same people cheering the loudest at the rallies.

Trump didn’t stomp on the rich.

He stomped on his own customers.

Did he forget to mess something up?

 Our hero Donald Trump with the golden touch. Trump has destroyed the White House, Climate change progress, energy advancements, and the lives of teenagers. Did he miss anything? Trump picked the most incompetent idiots to run his cabinet. The secretary of health sniffing cocaine off of toilet seats set the standard. Then you have Bondi, and Noam wild bitches lying faster than Trump. 

Will the Goats win?

 Payson is at a crossroads. Will Payson become a nursing home for 16,000 people, or will Payson take advantage of its location and water supply to become a standout community in Arizona? Do the citizens of Payson want the cheapest way to wait for the hearse, or do they want to prosper and live in a community that values the young and old alike? Fortunately some young people with a vision of the future that does not include wheel chairs and cains have stepped up to oust the Ayatolah regime that wants to take us backward. You can vote for change or rot from within. 

Hooplehead regret

 Being simple minded used to be fun. You could drive around town with a couple of flags on the back of your pickup and show people you were an idiot. Now the price of gas has put that out of reach. You could wear your gun to the grocery store, and flaunt your Trump hat. Now people know what an idiot looks like. He made America great? Being an idiot is just too expensive now. 

Hammered

 The retirement saving are blasted. Never lost so much in such a short time. Well Kadizzle can make up for the loss with the savings in gasoling. Wait, that went to hell to. Even the worst MAGA dolt may wake up. One thing a MAGA dolt can focus on is gas prices. Gas prices work for MAGA brains because only three numbers are involved. MAGAs don't notice when Trump steals a billion, but when he tacks on 50 cents to gas that is easy to figure out. 

 I didn't complete high school because my dad told me " Education just confuses people".  I have a good job at Home Depot, and I have saved enough to make payments on my truck. It's not an ordinary truck, it is a truck any true American would be proud of. I have the hood painted to look like an American flag. The flags on the back let everyone know my politics. In the glove compartment is my gun, and if anyone objects to me rolling coal out the exhaust f**k around and find out. No one who sees my cowboy hat and belt buckle is going to question my manhood. The women love me. My girlfriend has a good job at the vape shop, and our trailer is brand new. Anyone would be jealous of the 86 inch tv we watch Fox News on. 

Where are the hats?

---

For a while it seemed like every third person in town was wearing one of those silly Trump hats. You couldn’t walk into a grocery store without seeing a red cap bobbing down the aisle like a warning flag for common sense.

But lately something strange has happened. The hats are disappearing.

Where did they go?

Are the Hoopleheads embarrassed now? Confused? Or just quietly trying to pretend they were never part of the circus in the first place?

And what about the gunslingers? Not long ago some folks felt the need to parade around the grocery store like extras in a low-budget western. These days the pistols aren’t quite as visible. Maybe the urge to cosplay as Wyatt Earp while buying milk has finally worn off.

The stickers and flags are fading too. Fewer pickup trucks screaming political slogans. Fewer yards decorated like campaign headquarters.

So what happened?

Did reality finally seep in? Did the spell break? Or are some of the most brick-headed dolts in the country finally waking up and realizing they’ve been played?

It’s hard to say.

But one thing is certain: the noise has gotten a little quieter. And when the noise dies down, sometimes that means people are starting to think.

Which, around here, would be a refreshing change.
