But Have a Backup Plan
Sunday, November 24, 2024
No, I’m not talking John Lennon. I’m talking Grace Wing, a graduate of Finch College. The same college where Tricia Nixon went. When Tricia’s daddy was in The White House her graduating class buddies were invited to afternoon tea. Grace came with her date Abbie. Imagine if …
Grace Wing was now Grace Slick and her date was Chicago Seven’s Abbie Hoffman. They got stopped at the door. Too bad. Abbie was going to dose Tricky Dick with some acid – a double dose. Now, in his latter time in The White House old Dickie got kind of weird, walking the halls drunkenly and talking to the pictures of past presidents that hung on the walls. Just imagine what he would have been like after acid?
I miss the old days where people thought acid and other drugs were going to change our consciousness. And remember stoners?
“Hey whatcha doin”?”
“Huh?”
Now kids don’t need to take dugs to tune out, they have social media!
“Hey, I got twenty dollars for you if you can name the city and state where you live.”
“What?”
Then there’s all kinds of stuff to really ruin your brain, and kill you. There’s no happy happy to any of it, just hopeless, hopeless.
The continued assault on education and reason coupled with a whole universe of propaganda and lies has turned half our country’s population into the “Huh? What?” generation. Those whose brains aren’t fried on drugs are stoopid on Fox News and other such outlets of disinformation. Or Robert Kennedy Junior’s fried worm eaten heroin recovered brain. He’s going to make us healthy? OMG.
In order to have a functioning democracy you have to have an educated population, but the population is no longer educated. We have a narcissistic sociopath with a ninth grade reading level who went to some good schools but never paid attention in class and who managed to bankrupt every business he’s ever had who is leading a nation half of whom have a sixth grade reading level or less and are being constantly indoctrinated by lies and Russian (and other) propaganda.
The shit show is just warming up. Imagine when he takes office? The Steves Miller and Bannon will be shoveling the excrement through a high speed blower assisted be a cadre of Project 2025 minions and billionaires. To say it’s going to be ugly is to understate the case.
They have no idea how things work. Be it medicine, government, social welfare, science, – it doesn’t matter. When it gets really hinky, and we’ve seen this before, is when reality – real reality – hits them in the face, like Covid. Or sending a couple of legal hacks to Italy to find out the truth about something that is false. How do you do that? Well, you can’t. But the Italians in that case gave them real criminal evidence. Surprisingly it was on the guy who sent them there in the first place. What to do? BURY IT! Well, not before having a press conference where you tell everyone that you have evidence of criminality and forget to mention of whom it incriminates.
Or think of Zelensky when Donald asked him to get that information off the non-existent server. Apparently, this time around Donald has told Vlad to stop it. Well, that settles the war in Ukraine.
Maybe, someone will go down to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring and spike the punch.
Can you believe Mika and Joe? I don’t listen to them but they are the first to grovel so as not to be cancelled. Out here drugs start in high school. No one seems to be worried. Open dealing all over the place and no one seems to be worried. I don’t think even this new law and order admin will bother. They will be too worried about those illegal immigrants. It will take them 4 years to screw things up and then blame the next admin, if the Dems manage to take over, for the lousy conditions. The New Republican’s modus operendi.
