Again, More Distractions Than Substance

Well we have another week of political and media absurdity in a relentless drive to the absolute bottom rungs of social ineptitude. Can these distractions be of any real use other than to sell what amounts to lard for the mind? Are fine folks that gullible? Hold that thought; realize that’s a rhetorical question. Who really cares who the anonymous leaker is? Does it even fucking matter? NO! These are merely distractions as the rich funnel capital to the top. Wars are still being planed. Governments are continuing to be destroyed by US foreign policy and folks everywhere are having a hard time surviving this American dystopia.

We have a SCOTUS seat being debated in a losing battle for our civil, environmental, and human rights that will be threatened for over a generation, if/when confirmed, the most conservative court since the 1950’s. That’s when the ‘red scare’ was all the rage. As the ‘commies’ wanted to rape your wives and daughters. Kill a non-existent God. Same theater of the absurd in June and Ward Cleaver’s times.

We have the NT Times trumpeting scandals from, supposedly, within the inner circle of the dysfunctional White House. I don’t give a flying fuck, I already know Trump is an idiot. I just don’t know which idiot was worse; Bush II or Trump. As long as the body count stays under a million Bush II will get the nod. We still have well over a year and a half before the tally total has the final say on the matter. I always rate presidents by body count first and usually last also, for that matter.

The propagandists are still saying Russia, Russia, Russia, in a non-stop 24/7 loop. I liked it better when The Brady Bunch was on about, Marcia, Marsha, Marsha, at least that made sense.

So the ‘conspirators’ in this anonymous expose are against Trump wanting peace with Russia and N Korea. What the bloody fuck? The only redeeming thing about Trump that deride. What a topsy, turvey world we live in. Orwell was right; war is peace, love is hate, lies are truths, ‘truth isn’t truth’, in a race to annihilation. As things stand Earth would be happy if humankind was ‘disappeared’, so would all the other life, for that matter.

Finally

Time to finish my book. It’s Friday and double feature night on Netflix or Amazon. I went marketing today and am tired as always on days as this. I do have some hope for nice humanity so don’t despair too much as the government and corporations might be disappeared by benevolent alien forces, or not. Peace, The Ol’ Hippy
