“Put Me Through Some Changes, Boy…

...sort of like a Waring Blender.”
"The letter to Epstein bearing Trump’s name is bawdy. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.

The letter concludes: 'Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.'"
Or: Visualize Whirled Peas. Eh. I remember the GOP standing beside Nixon. Well, until John Dean broke the dam and that eventually became impossible. 7 years later we had two terms of Reagan, and one of GHWB. So it’s not like I think there’s a glorious future waiting when America finally discovers itself. Fehrlengetti wrote: “I am waiting for someone to really discover America/and wail.” He meant “wail” in the jazz performance sense. But by now, I think the traditional sense is the best we’re ever gonna get.

Nobody’s going to save us, and we damn sure aren’t going to save ourselves. I believe in Christian (in-metaphysical) salvation. The salvation of Isaiah’s Holy Mountain.  Salvation is still a live option, IOW. But salvation in democracy? As Pogo said (though I think it was Porky Pine): “We gotta make democracy safe for the world!”
The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy—like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.
Watergate redux; before the dam broke. This, by the way, is the content of that letter:
Gotta say, it’s no “grab’ ‘em by the pussy.” Trump's brain is a rat in a can. A sealed can. His mind is whirling like a smoothie in a blender. And whether this story goes anywhere, or not, he’s not going to get better.
