Yup.
True enough about our so called liberal Presidents and their warmongering ways.
We were starting to get hip to it, too.
Hence, the amazing appeal of Bernie, and the subsequent screw job.
Even though, due to our bizarre anti-democratic flukes of voting, Hillary got a few more million votes than Trump,we pretty much hate her.
I still don't think she'd be an improvement,except possibly for the dismantling of regulations team Trump is hell bent on.
I think some people went for Trump because of his campaign promises....he was talking an anti-war theme....wanted to get out of the ME wars; Afghanistan; bring jobs; fix our infrastructure...that sort of stuff. Which, of course, he's reversed himself on with impunity.
And now there's a sense of a radical divide. Trump's base is becoming disillusioned, except for an extreme hardcore; a minority by a lot.
So, in some ways, it's a new show here.
It's revolution, or straight up fascism. Not to be taken lightly, imho.
But I weary of this sport.
I think I need to swear off of political opinion, if only because of it's lack of fun, and my inability to describe things here with eloquence...or in a way that resonates down under.
We were beginning to see through the bogus promise of an Obama or Clinton....but now we've got something new. Same bullshit, on steroids. Very unstable.
The way i see this now is that we need the intervention of saner nations.
While it is true that we got what we deserve, to a large extent, it's not what the rest of the world deserves.
Our cultural influence is fading, bigly...but our military machine isn't.
Our growing angst has made that fact more disturbing than ever.
I wish it was funnier.
I'm generally a lot funnier than this.
Anyway, I'm sick of my recent humorlessness, and plan to do something about it.
TBP, inc is launching a side project; a rock band called "T. Rump".
That's my new focus.
(Apologies for feathers ruffled. I blame me, if that's any consolation.)
