Handing the keys of power to this bizarro cartoon of what an effective reform candidate should have been is going to be a fatal mistake. As another inevitable 9/11 rears its scary head, there’s a blustering autocrat in the White House, his twitchy hand only inches from the nuclear football. Since he’s an uncontrollable ass, he’s got an entire embedded plutocracy plotting against him, while another even more greedy and shortsighted faction salivates and grovels at his gold-plated feet, waiting for all the annoying and expensive controls on their rapacious and destructive business acumen to be “drained” from the “swamp” so they can get busy raping what’s left of the nation and planet. I’m sure America would continue suffering and sliding into entropy under another Clinton administration, but the clinically insane Trump, by clumsily jerking a rabid bull around by the horns, is just accelerating the timetable and planting the seeds for some sort of apocalypse (sorry about all the mixed metaphors). Meanwhile, we’re all yelling at each other and calling each other names, while our clueless youth are lining up on both sides of a lost cause, either hitting the streets with useless pieces of cardboard or absorbing the BS of modern-day P.T. Barnums like Milo what’s-his-name and his former boss Bannon trying to game the system. There’s really nothing to be done about any of this except sit and steam … and maybe sing. https://soundcloud.com/biff-thuringer/to-america
