The Great American Shit Show

 

 

 

I promised myself many years ago that I would never use an expletive in the title of anything I wrote. Promises sometimes need to be broken.

 

The distinguished and normally articulate CNN journalist Dana Bash put it as perfectly as possible under these extraordinary circumstances. At the conclusion of the travesty of the first debate between Joe Biden and Donald Fuck, she uttered words that should be etched in stone at the base of the statue that will one day (hopefully) be erected to her memory:

`

"That was a Shit Show."

Indeed it was. It had to be the most embarrassing night in the history of Idiot Nation. All one had to do was to look back upon ancient videotapes of the debates between Jack Kennedy and Dick Nixon sixty years ago - almost to the day - to realize how pathetically low this country has fallen. Say what you may about Nixon, at least the guy  had a modicum of substance. Watching this fiasco of a debate between Trump and Biden, one can be forgiven for not liking the event to the Lincoln/Douglas Debates of one-hundred and sixty years ago. 

The former vice-president attempted, valiantly, to inform the voters of this once-great-nation why sending this moron back to the Executive Mansion for another four years would not be a particularly good idea. His message was distorted throughout by the violent ramblings of the common-pervert-in-chief. He is under the impression that he will be sitting in the Oval Office for at least another decade or more. My only advice to you would be to humor the disgusting old motherfucker.

"Motherfucker". That is a word I don't particularly like and that I've used only once in the fourteen years and nine-hundred and seventy two pieces I have written on this site. The only other time I ever used it was in 2016. I was quoting Donald Trump. Just so you know.

FUN FACT:

When given the opportunity to denounce white supremacy in America, the president of the United States just could not do it. I suppose he needed to keep his half-witted base happy. "Stand back and stand by", he said. That is the rallying cry of a group called the "Proud Boys", one of the most vocal, organized group of racist thugs currently in existence. One of their stated purposes is to bring about a race war. Blacks need not apply.

Keep voting Republican.

On the evening of September 29, 2020, we bore witness to Donald Trump in his truest, most undeniable form. If you need anymore proof what a horrible mistake it was to send this half-witted piece-of-shit to the home that was once occupied by Lincoln and the two Roosevelts, then there is little hope left for you. Good luck trying to live a functional life. Last night, the president of the United States became so unglued during his debate with Joe Biden, that it was truly cringe-worthy in a way that is almost impossible to adequately explain. In the life of this country, there will never be a moment as completely weird as the one we are living through at the moment. There will never again be an era as despairing as the one in which we are living through at this time. As the Moody Blues once sang, "Isn't life strange?"

Whatever the outcome of this election, it is inarguable that generations yet-to-be-born will still be living with the fallout from the damage that Donald John Trump has managed to do to the United States of America in so short a time.  That damage was done at the behest of his sponsor, Vladimir Putin.

Trump is now seventy-four years old. He is obese and obviously in bad health. The chances are better than fifty/fifty that he will be dead in less than ten years. Justice depends upon him dying in a federal prison. Justice depends upon his remains being interred - not in some majestic sarcophagus on the grounds of his "presidential library" - but  in a paupers' row on the grounds of that prison. Justice depends upon nothing less.

Get used to living in a nation in ruins.

SUGGESTED VIEWING:

Here is a link to witness (with your very own disbelieving eyes) the obscene travesty that passed as a "debate" between Joe Biden and our esteemed common-pervert-in-chief. If you missed it first time around, I can hardly blame you. It must be seen for no other reason than as a weird and sick lesson in civics. It really must be seen to be believed.

AFTERTHOUGHT, 10/2/20. 2:36 AM:

About an hour ago, someone sent me a message that said Donald and Melania Trump have tested positive for the coronavirus. My first thought was to think that this person has been the victim of a hoax. It was just announced on CNBC that this is, in fact, the case.

"Instant Karma's gonna get you. It's gonna knock you right on the head. Better get yourself together, darlin'...."

This is not to gloat; I do indeed wish the both of them a safe and speedy recovery. They have, after all, a young son. But, Damn! Ain't this some kind of a plot twist? Or is he merely manufacturing this as a means of avoiding the upcoming debate? By this point, anything is possible.

If this breaking news is true, and it finally gets his Imbecilic followers to take the precautions they have thus far been ignoring, then it will have been worth it. See? There are some silver linings!
