TIM BARRUS NEW YORK TIMES
Dear Mr. Friedman, But. How. Do we contain the Gorgon. The Gorgon still has over seventy days in office to burn it all down. That will never happen, right. We should ignore the Gorgon as he burns the house to a char of bones. And no one dares suggest we…

THIS IS THE FINGER
His finger has pushed itself into our bowels as a symbol of contempt. His contempt for us is the self-hate of our entire culture.

Trump happened. This American enigma has devastated and wiped out an incomprehensible number of American lives. And then, there are lives standing at edges of the abyss. So much of America is holding its cumulative breath waiting to see if their government is able to respond to their collective need…

Trump Hates Tik Tok As someone who works with kids, I see them vigorously laughing. The ones I work with go the beating heart of the matter. They shut down Trump’s rally in Oklahoma. This is what is called collective power. This is why the government is going after Tik…

TRUMP’S GENOCIDE Fauci continues to believe he can still have some kind of impact. An outreach that is not real. Not while he’s being benched. He was Trump’s biggest enabler. Trump would fire him if he could get away with it in the media. A pandemic is not about what…

Tim Barrus: New York Times
We elected it. Nothing works. Our culture is irresponsible, and reprehensible. Our systems failed. Our politics failed. Our institutions failed. We failed. America writ large. Capitalism failed. We cannot wiggle out of the thing. The resposibiliuty for our own greed and racism. We created our own nightmare. We can’t even…

Tim Barrus New York Times An Open Letter to Dr. Fauci https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/30/world/coronavirus-live-updates.html#commentsContainer&permid=107865923:107865923 In the beginning of the pandemic, I thought Dr. Fauci would definitely become front and center as our defense against covid. But he was outfoxed by power and Trump. Now, he stands behind Trump with his hands folded…

And We Have Met Ourselves
Tim Barrus: The New York Times I took this photograph with a GoPro from a New York City fire escape where I was living. In a place they call the rabbit hole. I have explored and lived in holes most of my life. And I am here to tell you…

Tim Barrus: New York Times
How courageous does it have to be to not vote for a ruthless, hateful, deeply disturbed despot. Some. Not a lot. Trump is looking scared. He should look scared. When he’s gone from the White House – one way or another – it’s going to all come at him like…

Tim Barrus: New York Times: Opinion
When my four-year-old gets mad, he wets his pants. He thinks that if he has a temper tantrum about having to wear shoes, I’ll forget about him eating all the toothpaste in the house. A four-year-old lives in a world of his own, and from time to time, the outside…

Bone Spurs: Tim Barrus: New York Times
The latest Democratic debate only forces me to wonder what the fuck. WHY. BOTHER. The Nazis are not going to allow you to win shit. Nevertheless, the debate was fascinating. Most of the actors played themselves. Their messages were more finely tuned that at any time before. That was not…

Tim Barrus in the New York Times
Up against the wall again. The New York Times is not telling the whole story. Trump claims to have seen soldiers on the ground. It is big news in Europe that this is a lie. But it’s not reported in America. Why does this matter in the bigger context of…

TIM BARRUS: NEW YORK TIMES: STOP HAVING CHILDREN
The King has just killed my grandchildren. There is no way that having children is compelled by innate desire. The mommies are simply wrong. I have pleaded with my children not to have more children of their own. They get it. They understand. They’re not stupid. They have decided that…

Tim Barrus: NY Times: Let’s Have Another Stupid War
Trump has been looking for a war. He could go to war with the State of California. Americans would stand with him shoulder to shoulder because Americans are as fatuous as he is. Trump could invade Vermont, and Americans would applaud. But we have a congress. Oh, really. They could…

http://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/05/opinion/state-of-the-union-trump.html?comments#permid=30490843 We have cut off our own balls and have presented them steaming and kneeling before our master on our knees and on our knees. You cannot make government yourself. You cannot remake it yourself. Not when absolute power is in your face. I have suggested to people that a…

WE ARE…
Tim Barrus: The New York Times Question posed: What are we… Pathetic. Ignorant. Americans cannot articulate how democracy works. Pompous. Conflicted. Militaristic. Murderous. We commit more murders than any other culture. Poor. They only reason the economy appears so robust is because so many Americans have multiple jobs, and Trump…
