I triangulated the three verses, starting with, the Cheetos man…...my Takeaways: I - the Poetry by Najwan Abdul Wahab was remarkable, creative, powerful, and relevant, as always; II - the RNC continues to spew its vile, crude, stupid, dangerous, authoritarian and racist rhetoric, and its rabid supporters remain demented, unhinged and ignorant, while the party promotes a "platform" that is breathtaking in its level of nonsensical, regressive, simplistic right-wing thinking that is big on pompous and half-witted promises while being entirely devoid of specific strategic implementation details; III - the carnage in Gaza continues, brutal and escalating and unabated, by sinister and malevolent forces of profound evil; IV - the State Department continues its trend of offering the most obvious and blatant lies and meaningless double-speak, talking earnestly and saying absolutely nothing of substance, with callous and clearly dishonest spokespersons who ply their trade of prevarication and distortion with smirking deceit and empty dead eyes; and V - the satirical brilliance of "Genocide Barbie" is eerily, accurately representative of the fatuous, vacuous, uninformed and self-deceptive mentality of the brainwashed deplorables who attempt to justify and defend the horrific and unending criminality of the nazisraeli state.

Mashallah Leon ♥️! You are a commentator and observer like no other! I could never have envisioned a more in-depth heartfelt holistic summarization than those of your vividly illustrated words. I cannot understand the hate and divisiveness they wish to promote. And it feels almost certain the Cheetos man is coming to rule us…

🇵🇸💔🙏
