Two of the three Appellate justices rule for Legion, so it should be a win, but the fix is in. The Chief justice thwarts her win by belatedly appointing two of his patriarchal buddies to the case. These two did not hear Legion’s oral argument and most certainly did not read the file—they are there to do a solid for their crony. So that makes it 3 to 2, and the order switching custody to Herry is affirmed.
What turned into the “dissenting” opinion from the “majority” opinion, states much of what the trial court judge had done wrong. A key component of the dissent is that the judge switched custody based on Herry being “more willing to…develop a strong relationship with both parents”, but he has been cutting Legion off completely from her children for years. Despite her painful loss, Legion is grateful for validation by the two justices.
In the last section, Legion muses about the more than 40 errors the Family Court judge made in the course of the custody case, and how she put on a dozen witnesses and “mountains” of evidence that far exceed the mere preponderance required to show Herry is an abuser and alienator; and he did not even put on a defense. While awaiting the ruling, Legion is pleasantly shocked when Herry agrees Jesse can come home to her.
CHAPTER 28 of Mother-Fucking: The Saga of One Fucked Mother begins with Act III, Part 4 of “The Opera” from Book 3. The Opera has three Acts with five Parts—one for each of the three Family Court and two Appellate Court trials. Chapter 28 covers all of Act III: Part 4: the third Family Court trial and Part 5: the second Appellate trial. This is a long chapter and will be published in newsletter-sized bites.
Dr. Blue’s novel is based on her own experience of the Custody Crisis. It uniquely conveys how Family Court judges are “mother-fucking” women—a form of systemic oppression—as protagonist Legion is systematically and methodically deprived of her children and money and reduced to “one fucked mother”.

“Shit!” I am thinking, “Just where in this whole Mother-Fucking did those two names come from?” … These two ‘new’ motherfuckers––but friends of the highest guy, the boss of that court, that is––these fuckers plainly knew absolutely nothing of me and mine! Nothing.
“Looking at the record before us in this appeal, I DO NOT THINK WE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG when we predicted Herod would help the children develop a strong relationship with both parents … HE AND HIS CURRENT WIFE engaged in a course of conduct DESIGNED to TOTALLY CUT LEGION OFF from her three young sons WHO HAVE CONTINUALLY DECLARED THEY WISH TO BE IN THEIR MOTHER’S CUSTODY.”
BOOK 3: Dr. True's Opera in Three Acts—with Five Parts
CHAPTER 28: The Opera: Act III; Part 5 [cont. 10]
…Before much of any of these activities actually got underway and before Jesse resumed his piano lessons, before I could think about enrolling him in and paying its whopping, couple hundred bucks’ fee for the driver’s education course, the multi-page decision from those three black robes visited and filled that black Havencourt mailbox––again: the conclusion of The Opera’s Act Three Part Five. Proverbially the fat lady, when I reached inside of that thickened manila mailer to retrieve its contents, Legion True again alone with the comfort of my trusty rocking chair on the very day after Darling Zane’s 18th coming-of-majority-age birthday, Wednesday, the 24th of August 1994, … that fat lady, … that so recognizably common one … got herself right ready to come onto and rock My World’s stage–– ––and … sing.
She, as the Blindfolded Balancer of Justice, her orchestrated role, far, far and away puppeteered by men only who are aided by a few male-identified females also working in ‘the law’, actually brings us DEhumans in American courts of family law no justice whatsoever. Justice, the Fat Lady, warbled out all right, “It is the decision of this Court to AFFIRM that of the Second Judicial District Court.” And, then, there upon its first sheet appeared a few more doodle-type phrases of legalese before its being signed off on, first, by that dude from the middle, from the midst of the three judges, Chief Donnellson, a guy now dead, I am told. And who has been dead and gone for years––apparently shortly after he signed that piece of paper. The one who obviously was not about to go contrary to how it was that he, Donnellson, had first decided and ruled for Daddee-Herry and soooo against me after my very first appeal, the one facilitated for me by Attorney Carlotta Klutz and also the appeal known as Act Two Part Three! Reverse his official stance? O, Fuck NO!!!!
No! Why, that’d be like, Jury, aaaah, O … admitting that he, dah Chief! … the chief of some deal patriarchally huge! (ya’ know, big, like a state’s appellate court!) had, his first time around then, … MADE A MISTAKE!!!! No way was there going to come such an admittance from such a pillared man, not to mention, an admission of guilt and initial wrongdoing to the face of … a cunty pussy-twat nor any of her whoresons! No fucking way!
The Iowa Court of Appeals Chief Judge Donnellson … instead … strutted out onto those Wednesday afternoon golf greens or into the back lounge of some favorite fancy, shmancy local, Des Moines watering hole of his and over a couple of smoked-up meerschaum pipefuls and guffaws at Dr. Legion True’s expense, roped in two more of his old chums to sign on to this appeal decision with him! Two who hadn’t even heard my fucking precious ten minutes’ worth of argument on that Tuesday morning of the 07th of June! And two judges whom I utterly believe to this very day and before affixing their own two signatures, both of them with male-appearing names, to the appellate ruling, had studied up on ‘my case’ exactly … SQUAT. That is to say: I believe neither one of these two newest men ‘now’ put on to ‘my case’ had read NOT even ONE MOTHER-FUCKING WORD of what it was I had submitted in multiple documents or arguments before––or on––that June date to the State of Iowa’s Court of Appeals––on … on the Second Judicial District Court’s UNlawful activities, that is, on High Courtier Harley Butcher’s district court decision fuck-ups! What ages’ old cronyism! A single, poor woman stripped of her three babies is supposed to deal––squarely, ruggedly and fairly––with that GUTTING, is she, Jury!?!?
“Shit!” I am thinking, “Just where in this whole Mother-Fucking did those two names come from, …. now!?!?” Of these signatories I recognized one as its having been the name of one of the three men who had signed off on the documents of my first appeal, for Act Two Part Three, the farcical shambles done solely from paper only and handled to its unsuccessful and so-sad completion by Attorneys Carlotta Klutz and Shindy Scheisser––so who knows if this particular second appeal’s ‘new’ man had studied, as well, even one word of that first one’s briefs … either!?!? But the other man’s name on the ruling of Act Three Part Five, this literal last-ditch appeal, I had never, ever even seen written anywhere before … on anything of ‘my case.’ These two ‘new’ motherfuckers––but friends of the highest guy, the boss of that court, that is––these fuckers plainly knew absolutely nothing of me and mine! Nothing.
So my earlier thinking on that June’s Tuesday morning––the thinking about how it was that at least my having, then, two new people of the three on the panel, Judges Pansy Shawshank and Barry Crowrook, hearing my arguments would be a good thing? “Fuck!” I thought now, “All—absolutely all of that goodness with mostly new people on the bench up there and with that phenomenon possibly working to my favor ‘nd all? Well, shit, that’s now, with one fell fuck of Chief Judge Donnellson’s, that is now … entirely lost!”
I looked at the thickness of the appellate ruling and wondered, well, … why? Why so many more pages to it IF Iowa’s Court of Appeals had just altogether affirmed ol’ Harley Butcher’s––and then, too, Terrorist bin Daddee’s––last, possible guttingly butchering of Legion True’s and the Truemaier Boys’ lives! “Wait! There’s more to this,” I saw six pages at its end, double-spaced, which began and which ended quite differently than any of the few front ones with Donnellson’s and his two know-nothing cronies’ names on them.
“Well, well, well,” I saw the Truth of the matter, “Iowa’s Court of Appeals’ people had not just altogether affirmed damned Butcher and Mother-Fucking Herry after all!!!! What in the hell do these last six pages truly state?”
I read. And I was aghast! Flummoxed!
The realization of what had just taken place, the Mother-Fucking, began to totally sink in!
One of my children, so long not seen and not heard from, had just been declared the day before … an adult! By the factual singularity of his 18th birthday. And another one of my children was soon to come home to me from a first day in years and years back in the for-all-of-their-minor-educations’-“vowing”-in-Daddee’s-first-“sworn”-affidavit Ames school system––and this, this Mother-Fucking was staring me square in my face!
It began out of the keyboard of Judge Pansy Shawshank and was, with its very last sentence, ‘quietly’ signed off on … also … by Judge Barry L. Crowrook––and all of it made, in the end, not one damned, friggin’ bit of positive difference to the actual day-to-day comings and goings and thinkings and doings of … any one of the fucked four of us, Dr. Legion True or Zane Truemaier or Mirzah Truemaier or Jesse Truemaier. TWO out of the three total––of the state court’s appellate judges who had even bothered to be present on the 07th of June that year to supposedly listen to ‘my case’––signed off on what––legally, er, …“constitutionally” !!!! –– turned out to be known as Iowa’s Court of Appeals’ … “Dissenting Opinion” !!!!
In its beginning Judge Shawshank wrote, “I dissent.”
She then, along with this biggy court’s newest-appointed high dude, Barry L. Crowrook agreeing in toto, continued in its dissenting entirety, “The majority has affirmed a decision that prevents Legion from having any contact or visitation with her three teenage sons. I cannot agree this mother, having devoted a substantial portion of her life to the careful upbringing of her sons, should now be totally isolated from them. I would modify the decision to provide Legion have visitation and the opportunity to contact the children, and I would remand to the trial court to appoint an attorney for the children.
When Legion and Herod were divorced, physical care of the children was awarded to Legion. Herod asked for a modification of physical care and physical care was transferred to him. This court affirmed the modification and concluded its opinion with the statement, “This record reveals Herod is more willing and able to assist the children to develop a strong relationship with both parents than is Legion. [She inserts In re Marriage of Edinsmaier v True, 475 N.W.2d, 657, 660 (Iowa App.1991) here, that is, the nomenclature which was actually the Act Two Part Three appeal ...]
Looking at the record before us in this appeal, I DO NOT THINK WE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG when we predicted Herod would help the children develop a strong relationship with both parents. I can only conclude from the record before us that after Herod received physical care, HE AND HIS CURRENT WIFE engaged in a course of conduct DESIGNED to TOTALLY CUT LEGION OFF from her three young sons WHO HAVE CONTINUALLY DECLARED THEY WISH TO BE IN THEIR MOTHER’S CUSTODY.
The tragedy of this case is two intelligent, well-educated parents have not been able to put personal animosities aside following their dissolution to work collectively for the betterment of their children. Herod is an M.D. who has passed pathology boards. He is currently employed at an excellent job and has financial resources to hire an attorney. Legion has an R.N., a D.V.M., and a Ph.D. in Veterinary Microbiology. She has had difficulty in recent years finding employment. Legion attributes this in part to publicity Herod’s attorney caused to be disseminated following certain hearings. Legion has minimal employment and limited resources. She represents herself in this proceeding. Legion contends there has been gender discrimination in her case and she alleges a conspiracy in the judicial system. While I feel pro se representation has put her at a disadvantage, I do not agree with her contention she has been the subject of gender discrimination or there is a conspiracy against her in the judicial system. While I disagree with the majority decision on the issues she has raised, I am convinced my fellow judges’ votes with the majority are not the result of gender discrimination or a judicial conspiracy.
Legion is devastated by being cut off from her children, and she is frustrated with the legal process. She has very strong love for her sons and they for her. She spent years as a devoted mother evidenced by her sons’ success and their affection for her. Her education, background, and interest in good education put her in a position of being able to enrich their lives. Legion has given her children much AND HAS NEVER HARMED THEM. THEY ARE STRONGLY BONDED TO HER.
I recognize Legion was hospitalized for ALLEGED [… It was sleep deprivation!!!! Heeeelloooo! …] mental treatment. She has taken lithium [I was ‘court’ – ORDERED to take it!!!! … then had to come in for years of monitoring––‘or else’ … ‘or else’ I would be involuntary committed to Cherokee State Mental Hospital!!!! if I had refused to do so!!!! …] and other prescription drugs. Whether it was exhaustion and frustration or another problem, I am not competent to determine. However, WHATEVER her problem, THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS RECORD THAT INDICATES HER CONDITION HAS OR WOULD PUT HER CHILDREN AT RISK IF THEY WERE IN HER CARE.
Herod, the father this court found would further a relationship with both parents, SUMMARILY CUT OFF Legion’s visitation with the children because he and his current wife determined Legion was communicating with the children and, in doing so, was derogatory to him and his wife and complained about a large number of letters Legion wrote to her children which he and his current wife obviously intercepted despite having been ordered by the trial court not to censor the children’s mail. Herod’s wife [This’d be, Jury, one kingly-identified Ms. Fannie Issicran McLive to whom here Judge Shawshank refers!] has summarized these letters with her editorial comments for the records. Legion’s letters had advice for her children on eating their vegetables, the dentist they were seeing, and the appeal of the former custody action. Legion sent magazine articles and poems to the boys with comments. Legion’s letters conveyed her concern Herod and his current wife might not provide for the children as they should and from the letters it is clear Legion has no affection for either of them. The stepmother’s reporting of the letters and her editorial comments made it clear the stepmother considered ANY ATTEMPT by Legion TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE BOYS, GIVE THE BOYS ADVICE, SEE THE BOYS AT BALL GAMES OR SCHOOL ACTIVITIES WAS AN INVASION ON HEROD’S CUSTODIAL RIGHTS TO THE CHILDREN.
Herod lost his job in Des Moines and was looking for another. When Herod found a job in West Virginia he DID NOT TELL Legion or provide for her to see the children UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE he moved them. BY THIS TIME, ONE CHILD HAD RUN AWAY FROM HEROD’S HOME. WHEN HEROD TOOK THE OTHER TWO CHILDREN TO LEGION’S FOR VISITATION, [This would have been that very night and very laaaate, soooo unquakerly Agnes and P.M. Flunk – conspired fiasco!!!! –– before Herry’s spiriting the Boys 890 miles away the next morning and the first time even that Zane, Jesse or Mirzah had learned of their leaving Iowa! …], HE DEMANDED TO SEARCH LEGION’S HOUSE [no warrant and the SEARCH WAS STILL DONE!] FOR THE MISSING CHILD [She was referring here, of course, to Jesse …]. The child was not with Legion but, rather, WAS HIDING IN THE WOODS NEAR HEROD’S HOME [… 45 MILES AWAY FROM LEGION’S HOUSE!!!! And Jesse had now been missing for over six hours!!!!] Herod moved to West Virginia THE NEXT DAY WITHOUT EVEN TELLING LEGION THE CHILD HAD BEEN FOUND AND WITHOUT ALLOWING HER TO SEE HIM.
THIS CONDUCT BY HEROD AND HIS CURRENT WIFE IS NOT THE TYPE OF CONDUCT THAT FURTHERS THE CHILDREN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH LEGION. [Judge Pansy generously termed here King Herod’s male-identified Sheriff of Nottingham … “his current wife” whereas I, having “lived” that specific, exact “status” myself, thus knowing of it in Truth, have merely and more than one time and not at all so generously called “this condition” and same individual … … “his next cunt.”]
Since the children moved to West Virginia in 1991, Legion has had practically NO CONTACT with them. She sent them a telephone and she has an 800 number [back in the days when a person had to pay for having such a number …] available to them. The children are forbidden to even call her. Legion rented a mailbox [It was a leased box at the Grubtrop Post Office; Zane clandestinely picked up the key to it although the post office was not conveniently located to a teenager walking.] at where she sent them letters but Herod put a stop to this, too. Legion has seen the children at their school and when Herod let one of the boys return to his grandmother’s in Iowa. Legion has used an alias to attempt to obtain information from the children’s school on their progress.
I FIND THIS CONDUCT ON HEROD’S PART OUTRAGEOUS. IF HE AND HIS WIFE ARE SO INSECURE ABOUT THEIR POSITION AS CUSTODIANS THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DEAL WITH THE CHILDREN RECEIVING LETTERS AND PHONE CALLS FROM A MOTHER OVER 1,000 MILES AWAY, THEN I QUESTION THEIR ABILITIES TO BE CUSTODIANS. [Daaaah !!!!]
What bothers me the most about this proceeding is the children have not had legal representation; ALTHOUGH, IT APPEARS FROM THE RECORD, LEGION ATTEMPTED TO OBTAIN LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR THEM. BOTH SIDES AGREE THE CHILDREN’S PREFERENCE … IS … TO BE WITH THEIR MOTHER. THE CHILDREN’S AGES AND INTELLIGENCE AND THEIR INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONDITIONS THAT EXIST IN BOTH HOUSEHOLDS … … CONVINCE ME [!!!! … and, thus too, Judge Barry L. Crowrook !!!!] … … THEIR PREFERENCE SHOULD BE GIVEN VERY SERIOUS WEIGHT and this is a case where the children should have had and should have an attorney representing their interests. [!!!!]
In denying Legion’s application for modification, the trial court criticized Legion for signing the boys up for activities in Ames when they were living in Urbandale with their father; publicly berating Herod; keeping Herod’s home under surveillance; encouraging the boys to sneak out without telling Herod; not informing Herod of important incidents in the children’s lives; taking the children to a family counselor in Ames without informing Herod and undermining his counselor; secretly sending telephones to the boys; installing an 800 number to receive calls at a reduced rate from Herod’s home without his knowledge; and having the secret mailbox in West Virginia and sending mail for the children there and to a friend of the boys. LEGION CANDIDLY ADMITS SHE HAS ATTEMPTED TO STAY IN CONTACT WITH THE BOYS through mail and an 800 number. She is upset these attempts have been thwarted.
I AGREE WITH HER [!!!! … and, thus too, does Judge Barry L. Crowrook !!!!] THAT THESE WERE … CLEARLY … REASONABLE … ATTEMPTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH HER CHILDREN. [“CLEARLY” !!!! … “REASONABLE” !!!!]
The majority has affirmed, VIRTUALLY ISOLATING LEGION FROM HER CHILDREN.
[NOW … HERE COMES THE MOTHER-FUCKING IN ALL OF ITS ANDROCENTRIC, PATRIARCHAL, SPERM-/FATHERHOOD-EXALTING FUCKINGNESS: THE PRECEDENT!!!!]
TOTALLY TERMINATING THE VISITATION BETWEEN A NONCUSTODIAL PARENT WHERE THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL BONDING BETWEEN THE NONCUSTODIAL PARENT AND THE CHILDREN IS … WITHOUT PRECEDENT. Even in In re Marriage of Udelhofen, 444 N.W.2nd 473 (Iowa 1989), where the Iowa Supreme Court affirmed our modification transferring custody from a mother to a father after finding the mother told the child the father no longer loved him and the father was possessed by the devil, visitation was not terminated. Id. at 476.
I would remand to the trial court TO IMMEDIATELY ESTABLISH VISITATION BETWEEN LEGION AND THE CHILDREN. I would order the children be allowed to call her on her 800 number and be allowed to receive mail from her in a mailbox she pays for so the mail will go directly to the children and not, as it has in the past, be censored [to the tune of a total of over $5,000 worth of presents, books, medicine, food, toys, telephone calls, clothing which NEVER, EVER got to the Boys …], by the father or stepmother. I would direct the trial court to appoint an attorney to represent the children and to make an investigation. If the attorney for the children determines after the investigation it is in the children’s best interest TO MAKE FURTHER APPLICATION TO THIS COURT REGARDING CUSTODY AND VISITATION, HE OR SHE SHOULD DO SO.
Crowrook, B., joins this dissent.”
The reader can, of course, tell, right off, the spots in this dissent of hers and Crowrook’s wherein I just could not resist marking them with [EMPHASES]! And including my own interjected, further explanatory commentary within the square brackets.
As a matter of fact, Jury, I should not resist this marking, this bracketing, these emphases!
These emphasized statements of THE ACTUAL “HEAR”ING’S MAJORITY APPELLATE JURISTS, some of the statements with my expounding clarifications, NEED to be given A HUGE VOICE in order to be heard––NOW: I need to shout them out loud so as to have the facts contained within them, facts that, indeed, come from out of the keyboards and, therefore, from out of the brains and thoughts of TWO OF THAT THREE-JUDGE PANEL, that is, from out of the brains and thoughts of THE … REASONED … MAJORITY ! ! ! !, –– so that these facts within ‘my case’ are able then to emasculate the utter and violent UNACCOUNTABILITY … of the thuggish perpetrator of all of this singular Mother-Fucking, Dr. Herod Edinsmaier!
Take just Judge Shawshank’s one exemplar alone of the MOTHER-FUCKING which Herry wrought by way of his jumping into bed with the androcentrism and the patriarchy that is ‘the Court’––in this instance, the family law court, that is, THE PRECEDENT: What The Precedent means for all Iowans everywhere is this simple verity: NEVER, EVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS STATE HAD THERE BEEN SUCH A PARENT, as Judge Shawshank so described, WHO HAD EVER, EVER BEEN KEPT AWAY FROM THE CHILDREN TO WHOM THAT PARENT WAS BONDED. NEVER, EVER BEFORE.
SO. IF NEVER, THEN THIS ITTY-BITTY REALITY BECOMES GLARINGLY CLEAR AS WELL: For as often and as ear-splittingly shrill as some angry and threatening sperm sources love to shove and shovel it out there into the media’s and the public’s eyes … that they are the ones so awfully discriminated against within the state’s family courts of law and that they are the ones who do not get awarded enough time––in whatever form, whether that be from visitation sometimes to full physical-care custody––with the children mothers sculpted from these haploid spermatozoa, … at NO time ever, had the exact set of circumstances, criteria and conditions of DR. LEGION TRUE’s SITUATION befallen ANY ONE OF THEM. NOT EVER BEFORE!
Is the entirety, is the whole of the (second) Edinsmaier v True appeal quoted time and again?! O NO! … No. No. No. Never is quoted Shawshank’s and Crowrook’s “… MAJORITY … dissenting opinion!”–– ––Only the part of Edinsmaier v True that is … most specific. That is most specific to the guaranteed and assured stroking of threatened males’ egos: the mama’s losing part! That is the only part which is ever quoted in subsequent Iowa custody case after case after case––as … PRECEDENT! Well, … fuck that!
At the time of this writing, it has been just a couple of months passed an entire decade’s worth of time and, consequently then, … of ‘other mothers’ cases’ since Judge Shawshank and Judge Crowrook scripted and, as the FRIGGIN’ MAJORITY then, TOGETHER signed off on … The Dissent. It––The Dissent––has never, to my knowledge, seen the light of day … since.
O JYeah, the one-line sentence by the Court of Appeals’ Chief and Those Two Other Good Ol’ Boys whom Donnellson brought in on their sign-off ‘affirmation’ of High Courtier’s ‘butcher’ing ruling so has! Fucking hell yes! It has surfaced and seen the light of many, many a day! Over and over and over this second appeal’s ‘entire’ legal decision––laid out, of course, inside those three men’s one sentence only––has wormed itself into the final outcomes of ‘other mothers’ cases’ in the state of Iowa. As a matter of fact, nearly every time a custody war has since arisen to the Court of Appeals or to the level even of Iowa’s Supreme Court, there at least somewhere inside that other mother’s decision and oftentimes multiply so referenced, the legal consequence of “In re the Marriage of Edinsmaier v True” … is cited. Usually the use of it, that is the reference to––‘my case’––is in connection––almost always, I am thinking,––as to how monstrous the child’s or children’s mother is as one who disaffects … daddee. That is to say, according to ‘the Courts’, mother is just another parental alienator, er, ah, no, she is just another paternal alienation syndrome sickie!
Never––never anywhere inside these ‘other mothers’ cases’ is The Dissent of ‘my case’ … known. Nor, particularly, is known … the history behind how The Dissent even came to be: Two appellate judges out of the three total, Shawshank and Crowrook, a woman and then a man, a quite young man just on the bench less than four months, ruled for me to win back full custody of Mirzah, Jesse and Zane thereby overturning and reversing any district court-judge! and any other first-appeal orders! That is, I WON! I WON! I WON!
And that this opposition outcome soooo, so fuckingly pissed off that third, lone (and First Appeal’s) decider, Patriarch Donnellson, that he grabbed two other subordinate, k(no)w-nothing men–– ––suddenly making the total number of persons, now, meting out the mother-fucking ‘justice’… five judges! The two with their knowledge of the law and of nature for me–– ––but out of the chief man’s freakin’, mother-fucking whimsy, there were––instantly––against me … three men … wanting this fucked mother to continue to … LOSE!!!! So––the trio simply and androcentrically and patriarchally … made THAT happen!
“But. But. But. This?––This feminist state of affairs,” the Biggy Chiefy Alone decided, “this threatening feminist, … this feminist, atheist mama, …. Oooo, she canNOT. NOT. NOT just WIN! THINK what a State’s precedent that would set!”
So? So … what had been Dr. Legion True’s WINNING by 2 to 1 !!!!–– SUDDENLY and ANDROCENTRIALLY/PATRIARCHALLY––became … became Dr. Herod Edinsmaier’s WINNING 3 to 2, er, … Dr. Legion True’s, that is, SUDDENLY LOSING––AGAIN–– … 3 to 2 !
Noooowhere around anymore at all is the 2 to 1 - WIN for … MAMA!
She? Mama? Why, THAT is the Mother-Fucking. She? Mama? She be mother-fucked! Noooo “judicial accountability”! ZERO!
