I have this feeling of dread we haven’t yet hit peak insanity.
Now normally, if one were to be informed that we are living in a world where our President has dementia, you might exclaim “My God, how did this happen”.
Then again, I saw they were opening up axe throwing bars and it didn’t shock me.
Alcohol consumption, axe throwing, sharp axes, drunks, what could go wrong?
They have thriving tanning salons in Florida for Christ’s sake, how can anything surprise any of us at this point in time?
We have devolved as a society to the point where we are all a bit brain dead. no?
Of course the real powers-that-be, the ones behind old Joe dementia, they knew from day one what was real. They employed the basement strategy because they knew he was impaired even during the campaign. Absent a teleprompter Joe Biden is a senile, decrepit old Fuck. A nasty one at that, always has been. Arrogant, nasty, smug, opportunistic, self-serving, and vindictive. It is well known in Washington, DC.
Clinton funded a dossier as opposition research to damage her opponent Trump, created it out of gossamer and thin air, then sat back and watched as a complicit FBI, and CIA used it to neuter the President. Further, she sat back and watched as an independent counsel was created to investigate the ties inside the dossier tying Trump to “Russia”, which of course were non-existent as Hillary, Perkins-Coie, Crowdstrike, and others made it all up. Funding overseas CIA connections for the “dirt” they used to smear Trump.
Hillary sat back and watched it all play out, knowing she had made it all up, saw our tax dollars go to fund the 48 million dollar investigation, and said nothing. Watched as Mueller came up empty, of course he did, there was no “there”, there. Since she had made it all up.
You think she cared she wasted 48 million of our tax dollars?
Has she paid any price for it?
Were there any consequences? No, none. She grifts herself to riches from influence peddling even today. She is well connected to the shadow cabal that really runs things behind the Alzheimer President.
At this point, seeing what you see, knowing what you know about Joe and the slime propping him up, if you don’t believe the 2020 election was rigged then I almost feel sorry for you.
You still hold some shred of belief in the decency of our government. You don’t want to give up some “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” ideal. That somewhere, someplace, in DC there are honorable people, doing honorable things, for we honorable Americans.
Which ignores completely just how foul a citizenry we have become.
Don’t look now but our elected leaders are funding a genocide in Gaza with scores of thousands killed, women, children, Palestinians all. And pay no attention to the Israeli’s taking advantage of those distractions to get very, very aggressive in building new settlements in the West Bank on stolen land, and jack booting Palestinians off of their own land and giving it to Jewish settlers. All in our name. It is our bombs, our force, our dollars, our support, that allows it all to happen.
What?
What is that you say?
You have nothing to do with any of that? Oh, but you do, you do. You elected the people allowing it all to happen, and contributing bombs and cash.
And then you travel to Europe and wonder why Americans are so hated.
We didn’t’ belong anywhere near Afghanistan. We never should have gone into Iraq. Iraqi’s didn’t take down the World Trade Centers. They may have applauded when they came down, but they didn’t execute the attack. Those were all Saudi Nationals for the most part. They applauded due to our meddling in the Middle East, where Israel always comes out on top no matter how heinous their transgressions, and Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, all pay the price for our imperialism and lust for oil.
So of course this latest revelation about them lying to us is informative. In way more ways than just the realization that they sold us a brain damaged President. That isn’t the most of it, it is the least of it.
They rigged the election in a few swing states at 3AM with hundreds of thousands of phony or duplicate ballots to remove Donald J. Trump. Absolutely.
You’ve seen the videos of late night trucks, boarded election station windows, boxes coming out from under desks late into the evening, long after the poll watchers had gone.
But they told you not to believe your eyes and ears, blah, blah, blah-Orwell.
Our votes really no longer count. The CIA will give us our candidates. The CIA will install our “elected” leaders. The same way they rig a South American election, or meddle in Australian politics, see “The Falcon and the Snowman”.
Frankly I don’t know why everyone is so up-in-arms over Trump. Once he got to office when he wasn’t dealing with the phony and false “Russiagate” charges, phony impeachments, and other distractions, his “own” Party was steering him to use John Bolton in foreign policy, ex-CIA Mike Pompeo as Chief Advisor, appoint Gina Haspel as head of the CIA, and promote Chris Wray to head the FBI.
All criminals, all Deep State operatives, all people who would work against Trump’s best interests, all people who would work against all our best interests, all the most foul and wretched humans ever let anywhere near power in this country.
They controlled Trump from within every bit as much as they do Biden, so why they have developed some particular hatred for him I can’t understand, except that Trump, having a devious and sick and twisted mind himself, might have gathered dirt on them all at the same time they gathered dirt on him, and they fear him as a worthy adversary who could indeed bring them all down in the same way they can and did take him down in 2020.
Of course the media knew Biden was brain-addled. Everyone in the White House knew. The Right has been screaming about it for his entire Presidency. All that happened last week was that it became too big a problem to ignore.
The media will pay no price for being complicit. The drug companies have been given their payout to ensure the flow of cash to a complaint media that the narrative remains the same.
If you ran MSNBC, or CNN as a real stand alone business you’d be out-of-business.
But they serve as a tool of the establishment, so they are well fed. They paid the documented liar Rachel Maddow a hundred grand a day to continue to gaslight the American people. She is a particularly good liar and earns that cash. She can sit and lie about “Russiagate” for years, and years, pivot on a dime to yet another “scandal”, and her viewers just swoon. I saw where this week she was holding her head and claiming that Trump could send a goon hit squad to kill her. She said it with such conviction that I almost believed her. Actually I wanted to believe her since I actually think if Trump did it, that it would be great for our country. If they could somehow take out Mika and Scarborough at the same time we could break out in a national celebration.
And while we are all distracted with the latest scandal, the most immediate hysteria, the new news story out of Washington, they are all stealing with both hands.
We have become a South American or Central American Kleptocracy. The Oligarchs and donor class is being fed from our treasury in staggering amount, and tithing back their 10% to ensure the same group of thieves in charge, stay in charge, so that the big grift can continue.
I read where Pelosi made five million in stock gains just this week and crested the two-hundred-fifty-million mark in net worth, all on a two hundred grand salary. Her husband must be quite the businessman. Oh, wait. He is as brain-addled as Joe Biden, I just saw him after the gay escort hammer attack in his living room. Her husband is just a senile old man.
So how did she earn the quarter-billion?
The same way Hillary grifted hundreds of millions, Obama grifted hundreds of millions, Joe Biden and family grifted a hundred million or so, and the same way even Saint Fauci grifted millions and millions as a public servant.
They stole with both hands, fully corrupt.
What part of every zip code surrounding DC becoming the richest zip codes in the US of A, rivaling Palm Beach, and Beverly Hills money, did you miss?
All of DC has become an enterprise of grifting hundreds of billions of our tax money into entities such as “Ukraine”, or “Renewable Energy” where the donor class or defense industry sucks up obscene amounts of cash, and then tithes back ten percent to dark money groups, election funds, and campaign funds to keep the same people in power who grift with them all.
Our entire government has become a circle jerk of tax money flowing from donor to politician to donor, back to politician and round, and round it goes. With absolutely none of it ever reaching the middle class. Why would it, the middle class is nothing but deplorables.
It can’t last forever, eventually you run out of other people’s money to spend.
And the lust for cash from the Oligarchy and donors appears to know no bounds. They’ve run real estate prices in the “better places” to a hundred million and more.
Far too much cash is bubbling out over the top, exposing the grift.
What were you doing when America turned into a Kleptocracy, mommy?
Oh sorry dear, I was distracted, you see a pop star was dating a football star, and, well, they made such a cute couple, I, uh, just loved seeing them together, and I loved her music, and, well, you just had to see them touring together in Europe, he’d surprise her by coming to a show unexpectedly, and she would just beam from the stage, and….
We are fucked
Another one of your best! "I have this feeling of dread we haven’t yet hit peak insanity." Me too!!! Edward Dowd frequently talks about how bad it's going to get - and we're not even close yet. He also presents ways to cope (from a recovery perspective), which I appreciate. Jeff Childers always puts a positive spin on things - He's been especially hopeful after recent SCOTUS decisions. At 67, with serious health issues, I'm trying to appreciate the things I've taken for granted most of my life. I'm grateful to be able to spend this beautiful day with loved ones - and no longer taking for granted the freedoms I still have.
