Voting
for the lesser evil would be easier if we could figure out which one
that is.
Pot/Kettle:
John Kerry, waving a sheaf of delivery bills from US arms shipments
to Saudi Arabia for
use on Yemeni weddings and funerals , along with the collected
targeting worksheets of the Obama Administration as well as the US
plans for the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, said the Russia and
Syria must face war crimes tribunals.
Mix
& Match:
Assign the following to either Trump or Clinton (no doubling up):
Angry, bigot, bully, corrupt, evil, liar, misogynist, shady,
untrustworthy.
Sticking
Point:
Twelve Senators are calling for 'renegotiation' of any trade deal
[think TPP, TTIP, TiSA] that includes “a special court for
corporations to challenge legitimate, democratically developed public
policies.” Works for me, as a first step.
Perfection:
Donald Trump perfectly embodies our culture’s celebration of
greed, narcissism and sociopathic self aggrandizement.
More!
Not satisfied with two or three unfinished wars and two or three
undeclared wars, the Pentagon is hoping to launch a “limited
military action against Assad”. If it leads to a bigger war against
Russia, that'd be a bonus.
As
I was Saying:
The inflation-adjusted earnings of poorer households have stagnated
for 40 years. That's a political choice, not a law of nature.
Grownups
Only: The UN
has called on Saudi Arabia to stop torturing and executing minors.
Torturing and executing adults is still okay, as is flogging and
lopping off hands and such.
Days
Late: The
international deal to lower airlines carbon emissions at 2020 levels
come 2027 tells you everything you need to know about why your
children and grandchildren have very bleak futures.
Last
Exit: Donald
Trump will likely lose in November and fade gently away. Donald
trump's constituents will not. Yes, he is crude. Yes, he is a
buffoon. But his political support comes from those who understand
the game is rigged against them, and they are not going to stand
politely hat in hand much longer. You really, really don't want to
see what the next iteration of The Donald is like.
Just
So: “Most
voters are ignorant of both basic political facts and the background
social scientific theories needed to evaluate the facts.” Jason
Brennan.
Too
Much Popcorn: A
lot of the people who pass as tech leaders in Silicon Valley not only
suspect we are living in a computer simulation, they are spending a
lot of money trying to find a way for us to break out of the Matrix.
These folks obviously have too much time and too much money to
fritter away, which may explain talking refrigerators.
Shortcomings:
I've apparently failed as a father. My daughter is a beautiful
woman, but I've never tried to pimp her out.

Thank you for the top quote, which sums up our situation perfectly. One caveat--Trump won't go away if he loses. He will be the face of the new "we report/you decide" for tv, internet, and social media that the team he has built (Ailes, Breitbart, etc.) will launch to screw up everything the day after the election, which they will scream was illegitimate and "crooked." Bill's sexual assaults will be the "good old days" for Hillary. That "give public answers, not private answers" doctor that she keeps around to spin her real problems will have to live at the White House.
We are a few weeks from election day and Republican's want Trump to 'step aside?'
Would they also call for a 're-do', postponing the November election or would they just 'default' to letting Hillary collect what she has been 'promised' by our overlords?
If you vote this November, you have more than a screw loose!
